    TWO CRUCIAL RUDDERS 3

    “A small rudder on a huge ship in the hands of a skilled captain sets a course in the face of the strongest winds” 

    James 3:4 (Amplified Bible)

    There are times when people sincerely don’t know what to do to experience advancement. People look at the accomplishments of others and begin to think, they are not as privileged as them.

    What you should understand is that we all have equal privileges in Christ, though our moments of manifestation may differ. Also, the resources available to you will not automatically determine your advancement.

    As I have mentioned in the previous episode, the first crucial rudder you must steer is your MIND!

    Some people look to God for provision but don’t give attention to shaping and renewing their minds to think as God wants them to think.

    When you steer your thoughts, to align with the thoughts of God, you will have the God-kind of results.

    You can have a God-kind of life and not produce the God-kind of results because of your thoughts.

    To have the God-kind of results you must have the God-kind of thoughts.

    “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8-9 (NKJV)

    The thoughts of God are higher than the thoughts of men. The more you meditate on the word of God, the more your mind is aligned with God’s thoughts.

    God’s thoughts of you are to bring you to a glorious end.

    “I say this because I know the plans that I have for you.” This message is from the Lord. “I have good plans for you. I don’t plan to hurt you. I plan to give you hope and a good future.” Jeremiah 29:11 (ERV)

    The word of God contains God’s plans and purposes for your life. Steer your mind with the revelation of His Word.

    You may think that because God can do exceedingly abundantly above all that you can ask or think, you don’t have to steer your mind or thoughts towards any direction. You may assume that whichever way you direct your mind, God will still do the unimaginable.

    It is that same reason people don’t pray or ask (or make supplication to) God for anything. They think whatever will be, will be.

    Such thoughts have made many believers walk in defeat. Since God will exceed your wildest imagination, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a wild imagination.

    A greatly wild imagination which will bring glory to God, is evidence that you don’t doubt the power of God in you.

    Take a look at the Passion
    Translation:

    “Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.” Ephesians 3:20 (TPT)

    Did you notice the first phrase?

    Never doubt God’s mighty power…
    To doubt God is to move your mind away from what God can do through you. To doubt God is also the limitation of the ability of God.

    You may not experience the unlimited results of God’s power in you when you have doubts in your thoughts.

    Even though God will outdo your wildest imagination, He wants you to still steer your mind towards exceedingly great dreams, which are inspired by His word.

    Don’t be limited in your thoughts.

    Whatever you want to experience or achieve, see it with your mind. Direct or steer your mind towards it, even as you pray.

    Selah

    SEE THE RESULTS

    “And the LORD said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.” 

    Joshua 6:2 (NKJV)

    To fulfill ministry and accomplish great things, may seem to be challenging. Others are sometimes discouraged by the magnitude of the task.

    God doesn’t just want you to move into action.

    Accomplishing great things for the Lord doesn’t just come by trying to do something.
    You must have the right vision if you want to accomplish your task or hit your target.

    Your ability to do more begins with what you see and how you see what you see.

    Oftentimes the Lord charges His people to see.

    This is because you cannot experience what you have not seen with your heart or the spirit of your mind.

    To take over a city or win a town for Jesus through the gospel, you must first SEE!

    You cannot transform lives and bless your school, institution, or workplace until you see with the spirit of your mind.

    You must see your healing testimony. You must see the growth of your business. You must see your new level of impact.

    Look at what God said to Joshua:

    “And the LORD said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.” Joshua 6:2 (NKJV).

    This was a charge to Joshua to activate the power of his imagination.  

    Your imagination influences your possession.

    This was the same thing God said to Abraham and Moses:

    “I am giving all this land, as far as you can see, to you and your descendants as a permanent possession.” Genesis 13:15 (NLT).

    Oh, glory!

    Abraham’s possession was dependent on His vision. If Abraham had seen just a small portion, that was what he was going to have. If Abraham had seen the whole world, that was what He was going to have.

    “See, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers—to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—to give to them and their descendants after them.” Deuteronomy 1:8 (NKJV)

    Beloved, what do you SEE?

    Which results are you seeing now?

    These are not some words of encouragement. I am talking to you about a divine principle that works. You cannot accomplish beyond what you have SEEN.

    Jesus said, “…lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest.” John 4:35

     Train your mind to see the right results.

    When you begin to see images you don’t want, shift your mind from them and redirect your imagination to the glorious pictures and results the Lord has deposited in your spirit.

    This is why you must study the Word and pray in tongues. When you pray, the Lord shows you visions. He unveils to your heart great and mighty things (Jeremiah 33:3)

    Hallelujah.

    DIG DEEPER:
    (Jeremiah 1:10-12; Isaiah 28:16; Joshua 8:1; Deut. 1:6-8)

    WE PRAY:
    That we will not be overwhelmed by the challenges that confront us but rather we will be strengthened with the grace to see the right results with our hearts at all times.

    BIBLE READING:
    DAY 225
    Proverbs 18 – 21
    John 21

    DECLARE THESE WORDS:

    – I refuse to see the challenges, I see possibilities.
     
    –  I see my new level.
     
    – I refuse to look away from what I have seen with my heart.
     
    – That which I have seen my hands will handle.
     
    – I keep my gaze on the right pictures in my heart.
     
    – I see a way out of that challenge (specify the challenge confronting you).
     
    – Through the study of the word of God and prayer, I train my mind to see the right results.
     
    – I refuse to see failure and defeat, I see possibilities.
     
    Oh Hallelujah!!  Gloreeey!!!
