" Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of your MIND " - Romans 12:2

🤔THE LAW OF THOUGHT- 1 🤔

You are not an accident, even before the universe was created, God had you in mind. As we go through this forty day journey, it is my hope that knowing God's laws and his purpose for creating you will reduce your stress, focus your energy, simplify your decisions, give meaning to your life and most importantly prepare you for eternity.

The bible is clear that God considers 40 days a spiritually significant time period. Whenever God wanted to prepare someone for a special purpose or renew a person, he took 40 days.

• Noah's life was transformed by 40 days of rain

• Moses was transformed by 40 days on Mount Sinai.

• The spies were transformed by 40 days in the promised land.

• David was transformed by Goliath's 40-day challenge.

• Elijah was transformed when God gave him 40 days of strength from a single meal.

• The entire city of Nineveh was transformed when God gave the people 40 days to repent.

• Jesus was empowered after 40 days and nights in the wilderness

• The disciples were transformed by 40 days with Jesus after his resurrection.

The next 40 days will transform your life. Prepare for a 🔥ReBirth🔥.

My dear friends, to be informed is to be transformed but to be uninformed is to be deformed Information is powerful. Your weight [Spiritually] is determined to a large extent by the level of information you have - the intake of knowledge and revelation & applying it in your life. So St. Paul will say in 2 Peter 1:2 “ Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. ” As you go through this 40 days grace and peace will be multiplied to you.

Let's talk about ReBirth: ReBirth ☄️ refers to a new you, blessings, breakthroughs because your accessed and applied good spiritual information from the realms. The wings of transformation are born out of patience and struggle, you are work in progress, the process of transformation is painful but it guarantees a ReBirth. So allow the fires of transformation to burn away all the things that are limiting you.

Begin to switch your mentality from “ I’m broken, I'm a nobody, there's no way am getting out of this, I'm helpless” to “ I’m growing and healing ” and watch how your life changes for the better. If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold…all things become new - 2 Corinthians 5:17-

With these opening statements, I humbly welcome you to ReBirth ☄️ 2022.

Without wasting time lets us begin with the basics- :-

THE LAW OF THOUGHT-

Proverbs 23:7 “ as a man thinketh in his heart so is he”

It sounds simple right, but that is the beginning of your success or failure. As simplistic as it may sound, the law of the mind is among the FIRST SPIRITUAL LAWS. Let me explain. Basically you are BODY and SPIRIT, right? Good, now listen, the body belongs to the realms of the physical/material while your spirit belongs to the realms of the spirit.

At birth the spirit enters your body and at death your spirit leaves your body. While you are alive because of the law of territories the two different realms cannot blend or mix like sugar mixes nicely with water, so God created a BRIDGE to interface between the BODY and the SPIRIT. That bridge is called the MIND . The mind is therefore an important TECHNOLOGY that's serves as a link or bridge between the Spiritual and the material REALMS as far as the Human Spirit is concerned .

Matthew 13:58 says, Jesus could not perform many miracles in his hometown because of their unbelief and attitude, where does unbelief and attitude begin? In the MIND.

So the inability of a territory or persons to experience the power of God could be due to the fact that the people/person have limited God with their mental attitudes. and here is where I say this is the single cause of most unanswered prayers, delayed blessings and breakthroughs. It means that the mind plays an important role in the transportation of spiritual realities into the material dimension.

Take a mad person for instance, why do we call them mad? Because their mind which is supposed to serve as a BRIDGE for SANITY between the SPIRIT and their BODY is off. So even though they have a SPIRIT and BODY, we still call them mad, because their MIND is OFF.

It suffices to say that, in the current spiritual warfare which is ongoing, if I want to destroy you all I need to is do something to your mind or hijack your mind with negative mental states, [unbelief, doubt, anger, faithlessness, guilt, unforgiveness] and I will destroy you. It is therefore very important that if we want a ReBirth, progress, breakthroughs, answered prayers - we begin from our minds.

So please pay attention to the teachings because, as basic as these things am coming to talk about may sound, they can influence your cosmopolitan existence for good or bad.

A person becomes like what he/she thinks or allows into his/her mind- you will eventually become what you think- you will turn out to be like your dominant thoughts.

Contrary to what you may have heard- THOUGHTS are not innocent, powerless or harmless.

THOUGHTS have enormous power-thoughts 💭 are creative and if thoughts take root they are powerful vehicles for change- the bible says that thoughts have transforming power- we are told in the bible not to be conformed to the pattern of this world- but to be “ transformed by renewing of our minds ”- (Romans 12:2)

Renewal of mind brings TRANSFORMATION , and transformation will lead to progress, breakthrough, blessings and then ReBirth. Are you even sure you want a rebirth? If you want a breakthrough, or you want to bring an end to negative patterns, or you want to get blessings or Rebirth the first thing to do is pay attention to your THOUGHTS.

Listen, Pay attention to your THOUGHTS 💭 first even before your PRAYERS. Your prayers will not get above your roof, if your thought processes are not right. No matter how much you pray or fast if you don't get your mind straight, forget about breakthrough or blessings.

The law of thoughts is among the first spiritual laws. If you want to change SOMEONE or cause a ReBirth, you must begin to RENEW - their minds or change their way of thinking-

This explains why we have many “ worldly ” or carnal believers . At baptism your SPIRIT is RENEWED, but your mind is not. THAT is why a baptised Christian can still do things that worldly people do. The inability to renew the mind is responsible for the double standards.

The mind is renewed through what is it is fed. So though their spirits were renewed when they got converted- they still need to renew their minds with the word of God so that an actual transformation can be seen in what they do and say- if the word of God is not seriously taught and if believers are not encouraged to study the word of God- they will remain baby/carnal Christians- who seem not changed- on the outside even though they are “ new creations ” on the inside.

Jesus taught in Mark 7:15- that what defiles a man comes from within not without- implying that it’s the thoughts of a person that have the power to make him good or bad.

THOUGHTS enter the MIND of a person through the senses basically the EYES and EARS- later when they are DWELT upon, they move on into the SPIRIT of a person, - sometimes called the “ heart ” by the bible. This is when they have gained momentum and power and are capable of influencing a person significantly for better or for worse if they are not checked.

Luke 6:45 postulates that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh - what fills the thought is sent to the heart and the MOUTH then speaketh. A thief cannot go out and steal unless he has been thinking about it for some time- when someone comes and tells you “ I love, I want to marry you ”- you can tell that person has been thinking about you for some time-he was just figuring out when to tell you.

So take for instance- two people quarrelling or fighting and one says something very hurtful and unbelievable to the other party, then he comes later to say " please am sorry, I said it out of anger " - no- he didn't say it out of anger- anger forced what has been in his spirit out, it has been on his/her mind- the anger forced it out, just like the way when people get drunk they can tell you things they would ordinarily not tell you, then when you ask them, they say it was because they were drunk.

Personally when people get emotional and they talk, I take it very serious, because emotions are so powerful they would make people say things they have been hiding in their heads. So for instance, I get into an argument with you and you get so angry and tell me you will throw me out of the house or " you will kill me " , the law of thoughts says I should take your statement serious because it didn't just come out, you have actually been thinking of it, but scared to tell me, the anger or emotional explosion just provided a safe passage for your thoughts to find expression, and when you realise that your unholy thought is out, then you want to blame it on the situation that brought it out.

Our thoughts, whether we know it or not will eventually affect what we say, do and believe. Dominants thoughts will eventually affect what we say and do- when thoughts eventually end up in the spirit/heart- they start influencing what we say and do- what one says reflects what one is thinking- as a man thinketh in his heart so is he - proverbs 23:7

My dear friends - You will eventually start moving toward your dominant thoughts and turn out to be like these thoughts- dominant thoughts will eventually start shaping your words actions and your entire lifestyle. This is why the bible warns us to jealously guard out thoughts life- it tells us to “ keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life ”- Proverbs 4:23. Notice- here the bible says- it is you who is supposed to guard your thought life- not God-.

Question, how do we guard our heart and spirit? – stay tuned..

You see eerh, if you don’t guard your thought life- wrong thoughts may capture it and start compelling you sometimes even unconsciously to say and do wrong things. This is what happened to Kind David- when he saw Bathsheba the wife of Uriah coming to take a bath- [David was not an adulterous person- inherently-] however instead of fleeing downstairs- when he saw Bathsheba- enter her bathroom- [he was tempted to watch a live, real time speeed adult movie.] He watched her remove her towel and watched her bath until she finished and went out- this scene hijacked his mind with LUST- and before he COULD open his eyes and close them- he was in bed with another man's wife- this clearly shows that we need to guard our senses, especially what we WATCH and what we HEAR . The EYES and MIND are GATEWAYS to your THOUGHTS - be careful what you allow through those GATES.

Thoughts are powerful, in fact very powerful, aside the workings of the Holy Spirit in your life the next most powerful thing in your life is your thought processes, your mind- it is up to you to guard your thought life and not permit negative/ wrong thoughts to take root in your life- because you will have to bear the consequences of these thoughts when they lead into bondage and later make you say and do the wrong things. The basics for a ReBirth, breakthrough, growth and blessings is to guard and regulate what enters your mind.
