We all want to achieve good things in life.
But before we achieve those things, most of the time we start by imagining them. To imagine something means to have its picture in your mind.
For example, if you want to have a big mansion in future, you start by having its plan in your mind. You show your mind how it will look, how many bedrooms it is going to have, and how many garages and so on.
After your plan, you then start buying your building material, you get your bricklayer to come and start your house.
Remember that this is not yet built in reality but you are still building it in your mind. We know that the devil doesn’t want us to think of good things in our lives, but he wants us to look at ourselves as failures.
Whenever we think of positive things, the devil will always come with negative things. If you say you want to do something good, the devil reminds you of your background and says to you: “IMPOSSIBLE”, you won’t make it.
You must resist the devil’s action, and when he removes the mansion from your mind, don’t give up. Keep on thinking about the good things.
Tell the devil: “THIS IS WHERE I BELONG”, in a mansion, not in a shack. You must make sure that you make your dream or your imagination real by building what you have in mind.
In everything we do, we must not forget the promises God has made in his word that, if we delight ourselves in him, he will supply the desires of our hearts.
If you want to buy a new car, the devil will tell you that you don’t have enough money, nobody ever bought a car in your family, and you have a poor background, but start having that picture in your mind. As the devil carries on with his negative and discouraging words make that picture bigger in your mind, in other words, think bigger, dream bigger than before, then slowly the devil’s negative imaginations will go away because your positive imagination has grown bigger in your mind.
