Hello everyone,
Recently, I’ve been writing on the Wisdom of God and how important she is in our lives, because without her we won’t find a headway in what we do; to be able to discern accurately, and in making right and excellent decisions, it is so expedient to know that without Wisdom, this cannot be achieved. Today, however, I’d like to revisit an area I’ve written about just for emphasis, which I feel won’t be too much because it concerns every one of us, and this area is why we pray and don’t get anything. I’d look at this and explain why this is so, and also proffer the solution.
Everyone, goes through one challenge or the other, it could be that you don’t have enough money, or you don’t have the Mr or Mrs. Right to marry, or you have a health issue and many more. The truth which I established a long time ago is that honestly speaking, this is not God’s concern in the real sense, but our concern and why is this so? When God spoke to the earth in Genesis, there was one major thing He said several times, which is: be fruitful and multiply. These lines affect everything that we do on earth, in other words, it was a principle God established here on earth.
To be fruitful and multiply, doesn’t just imply to childbearing alone, it refers also to our thought pattern. Man on his own is very inquisitive and doesn’t like to remain on a spot for too long, just as time passes by, so does man want to improve or to change, this is the result of the way we think. Where am I driving at? The thought of man must be fed to produce fruits, in other words, what we think about are like seeds, which when we keep pondering over and over and over again becomes like watering these seeds which would eventually be fruitful and multiply, and eventually, it results to our actions.
I posted a write-up a while ago that words are more powerful than actions, and why did I say that? I said that because there are no actions without words. Our actions or the events we face in life are just the results of what we ponder and speak about, for there are no accidents. The earth is so much organised that nothing happens by accident, everything that we face is the effect of a cause created. All the chaos we face today are as a result of the decision Adam made in Genesis 3, but then again we could change if we wanted to.
So, back to challenges that we face, which I listed above, the question I’ll ask you today is, “what have you been thinking of?” and as I said, this doesn’t have to do with religion or prayer, it only has to do with what you’ve been pondering and confessing every day. I’ll tell you the truth, I’ve come to the understanding that every event that happens in my life is clearly because of what I ponder and confess. You may not in many cases need to confess things, but the most important thing is what have you’ve been pondering about?
We were designed by God to only focus on a thing at a time. There is no simultaneous way of focus, if you think I’m kidding, try listening to two people simultaneously, you’ll find out that even though you claimed to listen to both parties at the same time, what really happened was that you were quickly inter-switching parties, when listening to them and you thought you were listening to both parties simultaneously. The same goes with every other sense.
The fruit is a reflection of the type of seed planted, so if you plant the thought of wealth in your heart and keep on pondering over it over and over again, it would lead to the fruit of wealth, the same goes with every other thing here on earth. But just as some fruits differ in days, weeks, months and even years to sprout, the same is said of our lives also. Remember, it is what you ponder about that leads to your reality.
But the question now is couldn’t there be opposing forces of focus, in other words, can’t a person counter my focus? The truth is that you can only decide for yourself alone and not anybody else. The power of choice lies in your hands. For instance, if you focus on wealth for yourself, it carries more force than for some else to focus on you not having the wealth. The only reason why you won’t have the wealth is that you chose not to have wealth and not the other person’s focus. It is you and you alone, not even God can force you to make a choice, no matter how much you are compelled, the choice they make any decision rests in your hands.
The question now is how do you know what and what not to focus on? It would imply that we need a guide from someone who knows us better than we know ourselves right? Or else we could be focusing on the wrong thing thinking it is the right thing that we regret later, this is why mistakes keep happening, because of wrong choices, and remember you cannot redeem the time. Log on next time as I unravel the second half of this powerful topic.
May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
