IMAGINATION RULES YOUR LIFE – BE CAREFUL!

29th JULY 2022

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” – Philippians 4:8  

We focus on this topic frequently so as to give us an insight into the reasons why most prayers are unanswered. The surest way to sabotage your prayer is to have a negative thought or negative imagination after you have prayed. It does not matter how long you pray and fast; if you cannot maintain positive thinking or hope that your desires will come through, you might not receive a positive result. Albert Einstein once said, “imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited, and imagination encircles the world.” 

Some people don’t pray. They are not even Christians, yet they get things done successfully.  The reason is that they have pure thoughts or positive imagination or a firm hope that their desires would come to pass. One of the keys that launch us into the realm of opportunities is our imagination or positive thoughts. That is correct since imagination taps into the infinite power of the spiritual realm. Imaginations are daydreams – dreaming without sleeping, but they are powerful enough to make some things happen to us in reality. 

For imagination or thoughts to bring fortune to us, they must be creative or positive. The power of innovation is creative imagination or positive thinking. Imagination encircles the world; this means there is no limit to what a man’s mind can conceive. Therefore, what do you currently imagine would happen to you? Today’s scripture tells us to think and imagine the positive things of life. 

Whatever we think about, dwell upon, and contemplate tends to be our mindset. Our mindset, in turn, defines our realities, and that is a choice we can make. We cannot control circumstances, but we can control how we think about them. If we think of extraordinary things, we’ll tend to respond to life excellently. Remember, the human mind is wired to manifest things without formal or deliberate prayers. Therefore, to create a good life for yourself, you must change your thoughts and imagination from tales of woes or fear of death and think or imagine only peace, love, and harmony. 

 Beloved, I want you to note that you will become what you think about most of the time. If you allow your mind to dwell on negative thoughts and imaginations, you are very much likely to experience repeated bouts of anxiety and worries; but if you adopt a positive mindset, then you can rejoice in all things (1 Thessalonian 5:16) and give thanks for all things (1 Thessalonian 5:18) 

Starting from today, engage in positive imagination and see yourself in higher positions of breakthrough and fortune.  As Christians, the easiest way to remain focused on positive imagination is to continuously abide in the word of God because only then will the Word of God abide in you (John 15:5, 7). When the Word of God abides in us, we tend to be less negative!

PRAYERS

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I ask this day for power to focus on your word. I abide in your word; therefore, I declare that my imaginations or thoughts are blessed. I now dislodge from my life every ungodly reality created due to my weak thoughts and imagination. Thank you, father, for your excellent work of grace. AMEN.
