Control your thoughts, control your destiny

Control your thoughts, control your destiny

November 8: Chronicles 4 today by Br. Kari

Theme: Control your thoughts, control your destiny.

Text: Isaiah 8:11-12 (NLT)

The LORD has given me a strong warning not to think like everyone else does. He said, “Don’t call everything a conspiracy, like they do, and don’t live in dread of what frightens them.

Reflection:

Someone said, “A fish in Africa will remain a fish in America”. What he was trying to imply is, that mindsets determine a person’s standard of life and achievements. This is the reason why even though some people have migrated from Africa to Europe, they still behave and live like people who have never left Africa because the African mindset still controls and leads them.
Today’s reading is a commandment not to think like everyone else or fear what everyone else fears or call conspiracy what everyone calls a conspiracy. This is because we have been given a new mindset in Christ and we are supposed to think and act according to that mindset. When things happen around us, instead of seeing them with the fearful mindset, we ought to see them with the mindset of conquerors.
How do you view the trials and difficulties you are facing? Are you still thinking like a slave even though you have been freed in Christ Jesus and are commanded to think differently? Your thoughts determine who you become. Therefore, you have the choice to become what you want to be by thinking the right thoughts.

Prayer:

I reject every thought that is contrary to the will of God for my life. I choose thoughts of life, blessings, abundance, fulfillment and every good thing God has ordained for me in the name of Jesus. Amen
