Create your future
Bienhome Muivah *
There is a classic movie, in that movie Doris Day sings "Que Sera, Sera". "When I was just a little girl, I asked my mother what will I be. Shall I be pretty, shall I be rich. That's what my mother replied, Que Sera, Sera, whatever will be, will be. The future's not ours to see, Que Sera, Sera".
What absurd! Though that might be a memorable song in a famous musical movie, it is totally contrary to the Biblical truth, on how to approach life. This passive mentality embraces drifling along in life and taking whatever comes our way. This is hardly the intent of the scripture.
George Bernard Shaw in Earl Nightingale's book, 'The Strangest Secret' is quoted as saying "people are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. He said, I don't believe in circumstances: The people who get on in this world are people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, they make them".
We become what we think about. He goes on to add a profound analogy. Suppose a farmer has some land and it is good/fertile soil.
In essence, the land gives the farmer a choice. He is free to plant in the land whatever he chooses. The land doesn't care about the choice of seeds.
If the farmers plant two seeds, one is corn and the other is night-shade (a deadly poisonous plant), what will be the result? The land will invariably return what is deposited in it.
Remember, the land doesn't care what is planted. Its job is to create an abundance of the deposited. The human mind is far more fertile and mysterious than any land, but it works the same way. It doesn't care what we plant-success or failure. Its job is to yield increase. What we plant will return to us.
Jesus said that "He came to give us life and life more abundantly" (John 10:10). In other words, He has come to give you life as a super achiever, and yet those fulfilling, this seem to be few and far between.
God's purpose for us is that "you find the life you were born to live," fulfill your destiny, and live in success and prosperity. You need to settle this issue in you. You must discover your value, operate in the laws of God, and manifest His Kingdom wherever you go.
The Kingdom of God is not simply an eternal destiny as much as it is a manner of rule, governance, or system. It is a system based on God's Law. A law is a principle that tells you how things work best. Once these laws are mastered, in connection to the Kingdom, you know how the manifestations of abundance will come into your life.
The goal or plan of God is to give a systematic plan to transform your Belief System, not based on reflection from an improper social environment, incorrect authority figures, a poor self-image, false repetitious information, or bad experiences, but solely based on the truth of God's immutable word.
What I think determines what I believe
What I believe determines my decisions
My decisions determine what I can accomplish.
The results are a matter of choice!
Blessed Reading!
