CHANGE YOUR MENTALITY
Prov 23:7
7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
NKJV
Good things happen when we believe for them. Bad things happen when we believe for them. Your fears and anxiety is a negative faith. Positive thoughts will always open you up to a world of positive and exciting experiences in life. What we need now is to break down all negative mental barriers in our heads.
Some of the negative thoughts and statements that paralyze faith and hinder a man from moving forward in life that must be dropped and erased from our thoughts and vocabulary are:
1. “I have no one to help me.”
This attitude stops you from believing and receiving help from God. When a man trusts God, he moves God to send help even through unfamiliar persons.
2. “It is not easy.”
As you keep telling yourself, “it’s not easy”, life become more difficult for you, for that is your conviction (faith), so that is what you are going to have.
3. “There is no money.”
There is no money mentality drives money away from you, while “God will provide” mentality magnets money to you by the grace of God through your faith.
4. “There is no job anywhere.”
“No job” mentality blinds a man from recognizing new job openings, stops him from searching, and makes him loaf around and stay jobless. When a man breaks away from “no job” mentality, his faith causes him to be at the right place and the right time and to see the openings available and get employed.
5. “I can’t….”
“I can’t…” paralyze faith, cripples ingenuity, demoralizes, shuts in the man’s greatness and abilities, and stops God from working for and on behalf of the person. “I can”, however, opens the door of the human spirit so that all that God put in him can manifest. “I can”, makes the man to be able to become what he never knew he could become. It makes him to do what he never knew he could do. Stop limiting yourself for you are more than you think you are. You can do more than you think you can do. That’s why tough times come our way so that our hidden abilities can manifest. Keep believing and keep achieving great things.
6. “If I had been born into a better family or in a better country, things would have been better.”
Life is full of challenges and tough times. It comes at different times in man’s life and in various sizes and shapes. It comes to the righteous and to the unrighteous. It comes to the rich as well as the poor. No one is immune from it. The only thing is that the nature and size may differ from person to person, and from time to time. Even if you were born in USA, you will still face challenges. There are poor and homeless people in USA. There are people with difficulties and serious problems in USA. It’s not the country or community, but you and how you handle your challenges. Presidents and leaders of nations face personal challenges and troubles. The very rich also have their personal and relationship problems. It is not the family you were born into or the country you were born in that is the problem. You just have to embrace the challenge and face it and overcome. Blame no one. Do not blame God either. Face the challenge and overcome it. Determine to win and make it in life and God will back you up. Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ with all your heart and life, and you will be a celebrity soon.
7. “It’s not going to work.”
It is important that we have an open mind towards ideas, for ideas change the world. There are many things in existence today that was said to be impossible, but with faith and persistence have become a reality today. When we pray, God puts ideas in our minds that He intends to use to answer our prayers and solve our problems. It is important that we receive it with faith and trust God to help us actualize it. Faith never fails to produce a miracle. Don’t kill, and stop killing ideas that God puts in your mind with the negative thought pattern of “It’s not going to work.” Always believe it will work. Don’t forget, there is no harm in trial. Be an optimist and not a pessimist.
8. “No need trying, he will never change.”
The moment you believe your friend, spouse or a particular person will not change, you automatically and unconsciously stop trying to please, help, or enjoying fellowshipping with the person. This kind of negative thinking cuts off love, breaks down the willingness to be patient, stirs confrontational attitude, hardens the heart, and finally breaks down relationship. There is no one who cannot change. The only thing is that, it is God that changes people, so we must look to Him to change the persons in our lives that need change. Continuous faith filled prayers for the one we love and patience on our part will get the Job done. Never stop believing. Have faith in God and keep loving; and your love and God’s supernatural work will get the job done one day.
I break down every negative mindset that is stopping you in Jesus name. I pray you drop the old and take on a new mindset that is in agreement with the word of God in Jesus name.
Apostle Sylvester Onyemalechi
