Imagination of the thoughts of the heart

(Gen 6:5)  And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

What are imaginations? Strong’s dictionary defines them as, “to mould into a form or to squeeze into shape. It also means to determine or form a resolution.” What comes out of such a process are images or pictures playing in one’s mind as a result of what man thinks about. Thoughts whether good or bad create images of what is to come before it actually comes to pass. A man can sit there with fearful thoughts and starts to imagine vain things about what is to come. They imagine how something will not work out, how they will fall into an accident, how they might die etc. thus weakening their faith and expectations. They simply resolve that something will not work out based on the wrong imaginations they have created in their hearts.

We might say it is not bad to consider what might or might not work and objectively find ways of overcoming the obstacles beforehand but simply dwelling on the thoughts and drawing images thereof without any intended course of correction thought about is what is bad. Some people just imagine out things in order to worry and feel weird if they don’t worry at all.

We need to plan our ways, not worry about our ways. And worry is when one dwells on negative imaginations. When negative imaginations come your way, stop them right there in their tracks, think on the Word and create positive imaginations immediately. If you fail to do so, you will continually have little hope, little joy, low in energy, create mountains out of anthills and despair of life.

Peace will rule in your heart if you imagine what the Word of God says about you and not what the devil throws at you in form of negative and fearful thoughts.  If an unborn gain man can have evil imaginations, it means the born-again man can have sanctified / holy imaginations. It is in your power to form good images, do not be helpless to let your thoughts wander aimlessly at anything that falls in your mind. I remember times when we wasted time brooding on wrong thoughts. Now I intentionally create time to form good resolutions in my mind how something will work out. In my experience, doing this has helped me make great advances in fulfilling the call of God on my life. I cannot even allow an excuse of whether I have ever done what God is telling to do before or not, I simply move by faith in the direction He leads and things align themselves.

Child of God refuse to waste your valuable time imagining what won’t work. think about what will work. This will energise you and keep you on track in fulfilling the call of God on your life.

Justified by faith

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: God has made us right with Himself. This is extremely good news because we could not measure up to His standard of righteousness portrayed by the law.  Most religions including some who profess Christianity advocate for a "do right and be right with God" kind of relating with God. This puts the burden of salvation upon the performance of the adherents to such religions. On the other hand true Bible faith, says believe right and then be made right with God independent of your actions. All this is because of God's goodness who wants all to be saved whether they have any previous morally good life or not. If you really get a revelation of this you would burst for joy and rejoice in what God has made you instead of what you can do for Him, hallelujah! It all starts with faith. If you believe you are justified or are forever made just before him, it affects your life in a certa...

When a heart(soul) heals

Many hearts are wounded, broken, sick, depressed, bleeding but when the heart of a man heals, they start to live again. That man starts to blossom, to dream again, to shine brighter and to love again. Psalm 34:18, But the Lord is close to the broken hearts, to the wounded, frustrated ones, He is always there. Surprisingly many people are broken hearted and they don't know what to do. Because of the failure they have experienced before, they face shame and as a result they choose to hide themselves. Some end up committing suicide since they feel hopeless and their dreams beyond reach.  If you happen to be in this situation first and foremost you need to forgive yourself, release that anger and let go of the past. Secondly you need revelation of your identity in Christ. If you aren't born again, you need to first surrender to Jesus as Lord. God is more willing to heal your heart(soul) and your story than you do. All He needs is our consent and cooperation. Let go and let God.  T...

A year of good things

Image
Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Years represent new seasons. Every season God has a specific word for us His children that we need to run with. When we run the year based on that Word, our results will be evident. In this season as the Streams of life and Nations churches God gave us a word through our Father Bishop Gerald Mwebe that we are going to have good things.  Last year 2025, was a year of great grace. This year God prophetically is giving us good things. One of the good things He has already given us is the gospel. The gospel is the message we preach and live by. We need to realise as believers that we have a message which will touch lives not only in this world but for eternity. The gospel is not only for non believers but for nonbelievers also. Many believers all they hear are the curses that follow them from the past generations....
