Proverbs 24:10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
Psalms 119:97 O how love I thy law! it is my MEDITATION ALL THE DAY.
Joshua 1:8 THIS BOOK OF THE LAW shall not depart out of thy mouth; BUT THOU SHALT MEDITATE THEREIN DAY AND NIGHT, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
God is watching, God is recording, He is not recording just to keep records but to give rewards. Be strengthened for no single storm or trial you face is insignificant. Everything including the storms are bound to walk and work together for your good as long as you keep following the Lord irrespective.
"Faint Not!" Say that to yourself five times.
We understood from the previous parts that it takes faith not to faint, we also saw that faith are in levels and we have been looking at certain demands to building up our faith and today we shall be looking at another very important demand or key to building our faith:
♦ MEDITATION: Countless number of people do not really know what it means when God said, you shall meditate day and night. We actually have a wrong definition of meditation and that has affected our engagement of it.
What then is meditation?
Meditation is simply thinking deeply about anything. It will also interest you to know that worrying is also meditation though in the wrong direction. This is why it is not just enough to think deeply about something, you must be mindful of what you think about because you're the product of your thoughts. (Prov 23:7 says, for as a man thinks in his heart so is he..)
The devil has never and will never be an issue to us if we as believers understand how to effectively guard your thoughts.
Your thought life is as important as your prayer and study life. No matter how much time you spend in prayer and no matter how much of the word you read, if you refuse to watch what you think, you will never amount to anything tangible in life.
David said, I will meditate upon the word all the day long. God also made it very clear to Joshua that, his prosperity and success in life is not at the mercy of all demons in hell but at the mercy of his own CONSTANT thoughts based on God's word. Always (day and night) think scriptures, and you will have a bright and glorious future.
*INSIGHTS FOR TODAY: Don't worry about your worries because your worries are actually worried about you. Spend time meditating about His glorious word and His plans for you instead of spending time thinking about the devils words unto you. Your future is at the mercy of your ability to constantly and consistently think scriptures. (Judah Olatunde)*
*Prayer: Almighty Father, I ask for your grace to always spend time thinking about your word and not about the devils words. I hereby decree that my mind is sanctified by the blood of Jesus to think positively at all times in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*
