Thinking Pod? 2

I started an exploration of the topic "Thinking Pod?" last week. If you didn't get to read the first part, please do that now here http://innovationresort.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/thinking-pod.html?m=1.

I pointed out that there are two ways you could think pod- the first being a product of your desire, while the second is a strategy of the enemy of your soul. I did justice to how it could come as a result of your desire, now let's go further looking into how the devil can induce you to think pod. The implication of this is, when you think pod, you could end up in the swine, where there is a high probability you eat pod.

The devil understands so well the power of thought. He has an experience in that field of thought. This was at the genesis of his fall, he thought in his heart to be same with God (Isaiah14v13). This led to his final doom. He became a veteran in that field after discovering this translated to his fall. This made him successfully infiltrate the thought realm of Eve which also led to the fall of the first Adam. The devil does this in a more civilized way to see the saved in the swine in this present age.

The devil has a way of making you feel you are unworthy and just too unholy before the God of heaven. You just have this thing registered somewhere in your heart, that God is too holy for an unworthy human as you. In fact, most times, you just acknowledge you are so unworthy, unfaithful and not to be seen with Him (Christ). You know deep in your heart you didn't say that in reverence but because you just think you are not meant to be worthy before God as human. As this consistently enters your subconscious, it gives you a feeling of a "partial licence" to commit what you call "little sin". Thinking pod in this direction births guilt in your heart even when you have done nothing. Haven't you read that Christ came so you could become joint heir with him? You can't think filth and have the produce of faith, righteousness is given through faith (Rom3v22).

Friend, you have to understand what it means to truly be in Christ. it isn't a life of fact, but truth factualised by faith. Christ came to make you whole, if you remain in filth, you are yet to know Christ. This is a summary of my word from the word to you: you have to discard that thought,it is thinking pod. You can end up in the unworthy zone, it isn't humility but a bait the devil uses. He wants you to feel you are not worth it, that God is mad at you. Remember immediately the father set his eyes on the prodigal son,it was a warm welcome, he wasn't mad at the boy, eventhough the boy already condemed himself to a servant.

"According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love"Eph1vs4.

Are you in love(Christ)? If you have him, thinking unworthy isn't a sign of humility but ignorance. It unconsciously draws you to the swine.

So,would you please approach this week with this victory thought? "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he". Don't think Pod!

Be innovated.
