23. Dwell On Your Positives
To accomplish great things in life, it is mandatory to stop dwelling on
the negative things in your past, present or future. This limits your
potential. Instead, focus on your strengths, successes, and achievements.
Friends, welcome to Intervention, an outreach of
VISION BUILDERS designed to help undergraduates contact divine intervention for
academic victories.
Intervention brings you inspirational messages and Study
Tips to enable you be your best academically! Through this message, we believe
that God is set to bless you by removing every barrier against your academic
success and fulfillment.
Today, I want to challenge you to Dwell On
Your Positives.
And now, dear
brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and
honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things
that are excellent and worthy of praise. Phil 4:8-9
The story was told
of a young monk in the monastery on Mount Serat in Spain. One of the
fundamental requirements of this religious order is that the young men must
maintain silence. Opportunities to speak are scheduled once every two years, at
which time they are allowed to speak only two words.
On completing his
first two years of training, the young monk was invited by his superior to make
his first two-word presentation. "Food terrible," he said. Two years
later the young man used this forum to exclaim, "Bed lumpy." When two
more years later, standing in his superior’s office he proclaimed, "I
quit" the superior replied, "You know, it doesn't surprise me a bit.
All you've done since you arrived is complain, complain, complain.”
If just two words
described your academic life, what would they be? Today’s bible reading
prescribes dwelling only on good, right, and lovely thoughts. Nothing
determines your progress in life like your own thoughts. Put your heart into
your academics and you will be surprised at your productivity.
Don’t compromise on your good habits, stay
focused on your academic goals and whatever happens know that God will come
through for you.
Today is also a good
time to drop all your excuses for not receiving Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.
Truth is, you are solely responsible for your eternal destiny. Why not give
your heart to the Lord today? To
receive the Lord Jesus today, pray this simple prayer right now:
Heavenly Father I ask you to please come into my life
today. I believe that your son Jesus Christ died for my sins and rose from the
dead. Forgive all my sins today and make me your child. Fill me with your Holy
Spirit right now and bring stability into my academics and life. Thank you for
coming. Amen.
If you prayed this
prayer then know that you have begun a relationship with God. He has come into
your life and will begin working in your life. Please write to me at buildyourvisions@gmail.com or send an SMS to 0817 2239 319
to tell me that you just start a relationship with God. Kindly include your
mobile number and email address.
Continue to expect the best from yourself and continue to maintain a
great attitude regardless whatever happens.
I’ll be glad to hear from you. Kindly send your testimonies, questions
and prayer requests as responses on this blog. To
ensure your friends, class mates and room-mates are also equipped by Intervention
