Topic: Changing Your Life By Your Thought [Seeds of Destiny Saturday June 2, 2018]
Scripture: And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee. Luke 15:17-18.
Thought For The Day: When you come to your senses, you come to your changes.
Our anchor Scripture tells us a crucial part of a very interesting and insightful story in the Bible, the story of the prodigal son who left his father’s house after demanding for his portion of his father’s wealth. When he spent all his wealth in riotous living in a strange land, he began to suffer, and out of severe hunger, volunteered to work in a piggery in order to be able to eat the leftovers of food given to pigs. Then somewhere along the line, he came to himself. This means, a temporary loss of mentality was also responsible for his adversity. When there is a loss of awareness of who you are and what you have, your struggle in life continues.
One vital lesson to learn from this story is, a change of thought is a change of life; you change your life by changing your thought. Beloved, when you are able to tell yourself like the prodigal son, ‘Why am I still in this condition of life? Who are these people hanging around me? These are not my kind of people; I have a destiny that is bigger than this…’ that is the beginning of your breakthrough in life. For instance, the moment the prodigal son changed his mind, he returned to where he belonged and his life changed.
Anyone who is down today must change his or her mind in order to move up in life; a change of mentality is a change of locality. Every time there is a use of sense, there is a change of season. When you come to your senses, you reach your changes.
Beloved, my counsel is, sit with the Word of God and reason with yourself; if your experience does not tally with your revelation, reject it; if your revelation does not marry your situation, reject your situation.
Remember this: When you come to your senses, you come to your changes.
