Scriptural Text:
Proverbs 23:7 (NKJV).
“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: ”
Positive thinking is not wishful thinking or daydreaming – it is a way of thinking that activates a way of acting, which eventually determines the reality of a man.
From our opening text, the word ‘thinketh’ in Hebrew means to calculate, reckon or estimate. In other words, the opening text can be read thus: as a man calculates or estimates in his mind, so is he.
So, when we entertain positive thoughts, we are conditioning ourselves to work out and experience positive things. The purpose of positive thinking, therefore, is to create the necessary energy and motivation to carry on and to keep doing what is required for success. Such is the power of our thoughts.
This is why the Bible teaches us to focus our thoughts on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, and worthy of praise (Phil. 4:8). That way, we can condition our minds to work out and experience those things.
Therefore, make up your mind to choose and dwell only on positive thoughts, no matter how gloomy your situation may seem. Meditate on the promises of God, and refuse to retain thoughts of defeat or inferiority. This is a vital key for transforming your life.

Thinking and imagination determine what someone will become. Your body move at the invitation of your imagination.

My God, so thinking is not just wishing but rather calculating and creating….
I remember prophet some years back said “we are product of what we think” meaning we can never be different from what we think. So you don’t have to expect a good outcome if you keep having negative thoughts.
“The purpose of positive thinking, therefore, is to create the necessary energy and motivation to carry on and to keep doing what is required for success”
This particular paragraph has said everything.
I must always think positively!
Thank you Lord for today’s devotional 🙏

You today’s devotional hits hard even though it doesn’t look like a professional boxer. Because I have come out from many funny thinking pattern through the help of God’s word and also via the teaching of my Prophet, so when I find others in that state I was in, and I attempt the word and it’s resisted I just step back, because I know that wrong thought or thinking has knocked out that individual maybe in the first or second round but there still hope. The greatest facilitator of positive thinking is the word of God!

The power of thoughts cannot be over emphasized … The mindset of a man is the driving force of the man…
Negative thoughts would only lead to conception of negativity, and to concive negativity is to give birth to the same.
Hence it also applies to positivity!
You are your thoughts and your thoughts are you.
Todays devotional has deepened my value of positive thinking. My taught makes me who I am. I choose to dwell on positive taught only. Hallelujah 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Nos pensées définissent notre vie. La première bataille de la vie se gagne au niveau des pensées. Je prends la décision de toujours focaliser mes pensées sur ce qui est bon et sur Christ. Merci Prophète d’attirer notre attention dessus, soyez abondamment béni.
