PROJECT YOURSELF TO YOUR NEXT LEVEL
Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he... (Proverbs 23:6-7).
Did you know that with your mind, you can project yourself to your next and higher level in life? Your mind is an instrument given to you by God to improve your life from glory to glory. You have to see first in your mind the things you desire for your life, and create them.
God had to teach this to Abraham when He brought him out at night and instructed him to look at the stars and number them (Genesis 15:5). He was getting Abraham acquainted with the power of vision; how to use mindpower to create realities.
Recall what we read in our theme scripture: as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. The quickest way to affect your thoughts is through mental pictures. You can project yourself out of poverty into abundance through your thoughts. Every man is the character of his thoughts. Your mind can put you in a place of glory or of limitation.
It’s about your mindset; each one of us has a destiny of greatness because we’re the seed of Abraham. God told Abraham that He would make him great, and in his seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed (Genesis 22:18). This is our heritage; we’ve been set apart to be a blessing to this world. But do you see yourself as such?
Think about the man Lazarus for example; the Bible tells us that he was a righteous man, but he died a beggar (Luke 16:20-22). He didn’t die a beggar because that was his destiny, but because that was his mind-set. If he had projected himself in faith, envisioning his rich heritage as the seed of Abraham, his story would have been different.
How do you think? Romans 12:2 says, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind….” Use your mind correctly, to picture your glorious and victorious life in Christ. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION: I have the mind of Christ, a sanctified mind with which I project myself in glory and create the realities that I desire. I think greatness and see only pictures of excellence, success, victory and abundance. Hallelujah!
