TEXT: EPHESIANS 3:20
“Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we can
ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.”
There is
great power in our thoughts. Thought is the ability to see, hear, or become
aware of something through the use of our senses. Thought is the perception
about a thing, circumstance or situation. Thought can be positive and negative,
it can be said that your thought is what determines your action; and your
actions shapes who you are or what you become. Your life will reflect your
dominant thought, if all you think is negative; the same will reflect in your
life. If you think positive at all times, you will experience positive
transformation in your life always. This is so because whatever is not present
in your thought can NEVER be evident in your life!
Our text
talks about how our God is able to do exceedingly and abundantly more than our THOUGHTS
AND IMAGINATION! Therefore,
if you think positively, the Lord will do unto you more than your positive
thoughts and imagination, consequently, if you think negatively about yourself;
the Lord will do to you more than your negative thought and imagination. The scripture
says “as a man thinks in his heart so is he” (Proverbs 23: 7). This is to buttress the fact that whatever you
think about yourself, so shall God make you to be.
In Numbers
14 when the children of Israel were complaining in the dessert, they said “If
only we have died in Egypt or in the dessert… this utterance came as a result
of what they had in their mind (thought) - they were “thinking aloud.” The lord
replied them in verse 28 “As surely as I live declare the Lord. I will do to
you the VERY THING I HEARD YOU SAY, in
the dessert your bodies will fall…” Their thoughts caused them to utter words
of destruction into their lives! The scripture says “out of the abundance of
the heart the mouth speaks” (Matthew 12:34) either you are thinking it or you
go a step further to confess it with your mouth, the Lord is ready to do beyond
your thought, confession and imagination.
On this
note, if you have been thinking negatively before, it is high time you changed
your perspective. Even if the situation shows negative and unpleasant, your
positive thought and confession can change the situation for good. Change your
thought and your world will change, once you replace negative thoughts with
positive ones, you are on your way to positive result and great success.
