PROGRAMME YOUR MIND FOR A GREAT YEAR

Proverbs 4:20-24

My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen to my words. Never let them get away from you. Remember them and keep them in your heart. They will give life and health to anyone who understands them. Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts. Never say anything that isn’t true. Have nothing to do with lies and misleading words.

The thoughts you allow to fill your mind are as important as your prayers, (Eph.3:20). Instead of being anxious about your year, God wants you to pray about it with thanksgiving and He also wants you to be deliberate about thinking the right thoughts always, (Phil.4:6-8). What goes on in your mind greatly affects what goes on in your life. Your life flows in the direction of your dominant thoughts. The basic way you can program your mind for a great year is by using your mouth. Say only what God says about you. Be more deliberate about doing this. This year, you must learn how to take thoughts captive and make them obey Christ (2Cor.10:5), using your mouth.

Do not wait for difficulties to arise before confessing and declaring God’s message. Nobody prepares for war during a war; you prepare for war in a time of peace. You must be prepared to guard your heart with zeal. There will be a lot of unpleasant items and news in your environment that will try to influence your thinking and instil dread and negativity in you. Do not allow them to enter your heart. Do not conform to the world’s pattern, but rather be changed by the renewing of your mind (Rom.12:2). Fill your heart with God’s ideas, and train your mind to think and believe only God’s thoughts about you.

Action Point:
Commit your year unto God, asking Him to show you the way to go. Spend time to declare God’s promises over yourself
