MESSAGE FOR THE WEEK
THEME: POWER OF THOUGHTS
READINGS: PROVERBS 23:7
SERMON BY: JOHN JOHNSON
As Brothers and Sisters in Christ we need to know the importance of our thoughts in our everyday life. We need to realise that our thoughts have the power to be constructive, where they enable us to overcome any critical situation, or Destructive where they can bind us and keep us in stagnation. Thoughts of weakness, defeat, and impossibility places a barrier in our way from reaching or achieving the goals in which we have set to succeed but rather than think these thoughts we should think positive and constructive thoughts which can enable us through our faith to overcome what we might see to be impossible. One example of this is when David, who was a young boy at the time, faced Goliath and because the armies of Israel were, as the bible described, too terrified to face Goliath David stood up having a positive mind saying that Goliath will end up like the dead lion and bear that came after his sheep. In the same way the extent of our vision, how far you see yourself progressing, will be the boundary of our blessing. AMEN
