The quality of your life on earth as a Christian is dependent on your mental productivity. Mental productivity comes about by effective investment in the mind. Success refers to all-round prosperity according to Joshua1:8. This month, God’s word has come to us saying that our success mentality is working mightily but it is our responsibility to provoke the fulfillment of this word. Mentality refers to your thought-pattern. Your thought-pattern refers to the way you respond to challenges i.e. your first reaction to a problem.
Success mentality is a process. Unlike salvation which is momentous and can happen in a day, mental excellence is a process, it cannot take place in a day. Mental excellence comes about by mental empowerment. Empowered minds take empowered steps. Until your mind is empowered, you will not be relevant in the society. Your mind is empowered by God’s word.
Power is the capacity or ability to achieve desired results. Mind power leads to mental productivity and mental productivity eventually leads to societal relevance!
How do you activate your mind power for success?
- Addiction to God’s word (Psalms 119:130): Don’t ever assume that you cannot do anything, based on God’s word in Romans 12:1-2, you can achieve anything you want by activating your mind through God’s word. You overcome the culture of failure around you by renewing your mind with God’s word. Mind empowerment is not a hit and run thing but a process. Also, you can control your circumstances by speaking God’s word (1 Peter 2:24, Philippians 4:19). Always speak God’s word to influence your situation to your favor. You cannot enjoy success mentality until you are a person of the word.
- The force of prayer (Daniel 2:16-19): The word of God reshapes your thinking but prayer provokes the power needed to put your mind to work (Proverbs 2:1-6). Prayer stirs up the soluble treasures in your mind and precipitates the virtues of your mind (1 Corinthians 2:16)
Prayer line: O Lord, I provoke all the hidden virtues in my mind to come to lime-light in Jesus name. Amen!
