BREAKING OFF LIMITS 15 GUARD YOUR THOUGHT LIFE

You need to take care of the way you think. Thinkers rule the world. The way you think will determine your life. Nobody can take you to court to allege you that you think wrongly. The devil does not even know what you are thinking. Many times we mystify the devil and portray him as if he is stronger than God. No! The devil does know what you are thinking. What he does is that he puts pressure on you to speak out what you are thinking because he knows eventually that whatever you think whether is right or wrong will come out of your mouth.

Your thinking is important because thinkers rule the world. This is why the professors are well paid than labourers. When you go to school, you go there to expand your thinking and horizon so that you can be useful to a company.

Watch your thoughts for they become your words; your words become your action, your action becomes your character and destiny. Your word is very important.

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he; Proverb 23:7a

You are the product of your words. I cannot really know you but you can know yourself and God can know you because God knows your thoughts from far and near. What you are thinking today, if it is displayed on the television screen will you like yourself? The real you is what you are thinking in your heart. Thus you must watch your thought life.

The reason we read or study the Bible is to change our thinking. As unbelievers on earth, our thinking is polluted because the world is corrupt. What do we do to help our lives to change our thought life? We should think like God. God's word is His thought. If you think on God's words, you will think like Him. Hear what He said in Isaiah 55:9

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

God has thoughts. He says His thoughts are higher than your thoughts. God's thoughts for your life may not look reasonable. When I say 2+2= 4, your reason tells you it is 4; but God's thought may not be that straight forward. God's words are His thoughts; you cannot reason His words out. Just think of it, all of us were made, we came from one place or the other. A person gave birth to me by consummation of marriage that is why I am here. Who gave birth to God? Where was He before He made anything? If He was somewhere before He made anything, if He stood on something before He came, it means that thing is older than Him. But what is older than God? Everything came from Him.

Your brain is beyond it, no science can understand this mystery. This is why His thoughts are higher. For you to have an advantage of being like Him and enjoy Him, to be a champion like Him, you should think like Him. He is a lion and a lion will give birth to a lion. How can you think like Him? You read His words which are His thoughts. If you want to know how wise I am, then hear or listen to what I am saying. If a man's word is not good, the man is not good. If God's word is not good, God is not good, but I make bold to say God is good. His words are good. Access the word of God, believe it, confess it, read it, think on it like Him; before you know it, power, grace, wisdom, authority and dominion will start to emanate from your words. Your words will start to carry weight.

When I speak to situation people wonder at what happens. They will say do you fast and pray every day? They want to know how it is working because I don't tell them to go on marathon fasting and prayer. African man will like to struggle to get result in life. But I don't do that because God has got result for us. If God wanted Adam to help Him to create, He would have made Adam the first day. God made Adam the sixth day because God did not need him to help Him. The first day of Adam was the seventh day of God. So God called Adam into rest. When Adam opened his eyes, he opened to plenty so he did not need to struggle. God did not call us to struggle, He called us to access His thoughts, to confess and believe His thoughts; to think deeply like Him because the more you think like Him the more you become like Him.

When it comes to demonstrating the power of God, to allowing His power ooze out of you, you must think like Him. Put yourself in the place of God. Don't be afraid to become like Him because no father will be ashamed to let his son resembles Him. God is your Father and you must resemble God. Don't get apologetic over the fact that you resemble God because you are god here on earth. It is my prayer, you will act like God. You will think like God. You will walk like God.

The only book that justifies us to think the way He asks us to think is the Bible. Ask yourself, how will God think on this situation?

Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Philippians 4:6

God does not call you to worry. Most sicknesses in the world today come from the soul: depression, stress or suicide spirit. You see somebody just kill himself on flimsy excuse. He killed himself on the platform that he was in debt and he could not pay. It comes from the thought of desperation, looking at life as if it is all over, when tomorrow is there.

Nnamdi Azikwe, the Zik of Africa, who was one of the greatest politicians in our nation, at a particular stage in his life he was depressed. He was studying abroad and had no money to cater for himself. He got so depressed that he jumped on a railway line so that he could be crushed by the train but someone who believed in him picked him up and sponsored him. He came back to Nigeria to be a colossal, a champion, the great Zik of Africa, a great politician in Nigeria. When you see him, you see intelligence talking. If not because somebody who saw a great future ahead of him picked him up, he would have died a useless death.

Many people have died for nothing, beloved; your life is not finished. God is just starting with you. Your better days are not behind you they are ahead of you. You may say you have seen better days, you have not. Don't behave like a frog inside an opened well. The frog says 'I see the sky'. You have not seen the sky, come out from the well you will see that the sky is more than the encirclement of the well. Go out, the world is bigger; exposure is important; think like God.

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:7-8

The only thing that qualifies your thought is the word of God. Some things are true but they are not good report. For example, if all you do is to be thinking and speaking about how terrorists are killing people to the extent that you become afraid; though the thinking may be true, it is not a good report. The word of God is telling us to think on His Word. When you think on God's word, the peace of God will flood your heart.

Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. Philippians 4:9

This is the outcome of thinking on God's word. It is my prayer that the God of peace will be with you. You have to learn to close the door to Satan in your thought. If you fail in this area, you will start to have problem with the devil because you are giving him an open door to attack you. You have the ability to control your thoughts, you can switch off. You can stop what you are thinking if it is unwholesome. You can say no to it, you can switch it off. Instead of thinking on calamity and trouble, you can switch off and think on God's report for your life.

You must be careful because you will become what you think, see, touch or hear every day. We are all products of the environment we live. If your environment is polluting you, change your location.

Looking at Genesis 19:30-36, one would wonder how Lot's children had their idea. The eldest daughter said unto the younger one, "There is no man in the world, how do we have children? Let me get my father drunk and I will sleep with him." She told her younger sister to do the same thing so both of them gave birth to two nations through incest. How did they arrive at this idea? Thought!

And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:

Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. Genesis 19:30-36

Is it true that there is no man on the earth? Is Abraham who is Lot's uncle not alive then? The devil exaggerated for them to do a wrong thing. Some will say "If I am not pregnant before marriage, I don't know may be I will be pregnant after marriage." This is a result of wrong thoughts. Wrong and stupid thought will pollute your life. It is my prayer that you will think well. Your thought speaks louder in
heaven than your voice. The greatest work is thinking, it is my prayer that you will think well.

In Genesis 11:5-7; God came down to Babel.

And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

Babel stands for confusion. They came together and say to themselves, "Let us gather together and build a tower to heaven…." Their gathering together was so great that God held a conference in heaven. God the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost had a meeting in heaven to defeat these people because if their thought is not stopped, it will succeed.

Imagine, if ungodly people can accomplish big things through their thoughts how much more the believers.

Sometimes when I enter the aeroplane, I begin to wonder. There are more than two hundred passengers inside the plane and yet it can still fly in the atmosphere across the ocean. An idea of this aeroplane came from a thought. The mobile phone we carry about is a product of someone's thought. Look at yourself, your dress, your shoes and everything you have on are products of somebody's thought. No wonder people are enriched by their thoughts, thinking makes you rich. Thinkers rule the world. The greatest work is thinking. It is my prayer, you will think well.

Beloved, if the ungodly has made this world like this by their thinking how much more you. Sit down to think. The devil wants us to be confused and be noisy without sitting down to think. If you can settle down and think, great things will come out of you. Think on how much of the wealth that comes into this land enters your hand? Think about what is not available here that you can create and make available for success, for increase. Do you know that money or wealth is a result of problems you solve for people? If you stop solving problem you will not have money. Don't say, "I am a male or a female. I can't do anything." If you will dare to think, nothing can limit you. It is my prayer that great things will come out of your life in Jesus name. You will be a great champion, a great success in the name of Jesus.

Re-program your thinking; stop thinking about what cannot happen. Involve your mind in genuine thinking. Robert Tilton said, "400 ideas come to a man every day." Idea is wealth, pick your own, write them down, nurture them in your spirit, and incubate on them like a mother hen will do. Let them flow out of you, act on them and become successful. Through your ideas, you will change this world; you will attract others to yourself. Great things will happen to you in the name of Jesus.
