There is a law that
governs everything on the face of the earth. For example, the law of gravity
pulls every object downward to the surface of the earth while the law of
aerodynamics allows the same object to negate the law of gravity and go up into
the sky. The law of gravity allows metals to sink under water while Archimedes
principle negates gravity and allows objects to float on water. For humans,
there is a time for sowing and also a time for reaping. It seems then that
everything in this life has a principle or a law that governs it.
The mind also has laws
or principles that govern how it functions. No wonder it was said that poverty
is the thing of the mind than the disposition of a person. When the mind uses
the right principles, the whole being of a person is transformed but when the
mind uses the wrong principles the whole being of the person is also
transformed but negatively.
But when God created
human beings and put in them a mind, he empowered the mind to function
effectively so that through the mind, man can turn the natural things around
them into things that will advance them. Through the mind, we can do more than
what people think or assess us. With the mind, we can travel all round the
world and be victorious. With the same mind, we can stay put in one place and
do nothing about our situation ending up being a burden to people than a
solution to people.
Everything depends on
the mind. I can tell myself that I will go beyond the sky with my mind and then
it becomes possible because we have seen humans gone to the moon and come back.
But going beyond the sky is not just a literal sky but the skies that are all
around us. The sky that seemed impossible to penetrate into a glorious destiny;
the sky of wealth and riches, as well as the sky of living a godly Christian
life in the presence of difficult moments. All these are possible through the
mind. When the mind believes that these challenges are surmountable then it
becomes a reality.
But I have seen myself
beyond the sky. I see a new me emerge and every shackles that seemed to
imprison me in the past are gone. From my life as a lay man, to that as a
business man, and finally as a pastor, I see a new me standing strong to
conquer the world. Nothing is going to stop me from achieving my purpose in
life except me. Nobody will or can stop me from achieving successes.
Today I resolve not to look to people or see them as
the cause of my failure in life. Today I resolve to hold myself accountable to
live to fulfill that dream that GRACE will change the world. I believe that
both Christians and non Christians will know the LOVE of God through GRACE and
this I will continue to do until I win the world.
