In the last edition, we were able to establish two facts namely:

1. a.      We can change our situation by changing our mindset
2. b.     The human brain has a latent capacity that nobody has fully employed.

Our anchor scripture is Gen. 11 v 6 where God attested to the fact when we imagined a thing (in line with his plan) nothing can stop us from achieving it. The reality is that we cannot afford to live our life by time and chance alone. God has deposited in us the power to live like a ‘son’ and makes things happen in our life for his glory. Amen.

You can go wherever you want to go and do whatever you want to do when you set time aside to imagine it. The wonderful thing about imagination is that you are not restricted to where you can go or what you can do; you do not need an entry visa to travel to the place of your dream.

Fundamentally, the spiritual controls that which happen in the physical and one of the guiding principle in the spirit realm is ‘as far as your eyes can see’ Gen 15v5. The seeds of Abraham (of which you are one) are always going to be as ‘the sand on the seashore’ because Abraham had seen it thousands of years ago.

Using the Power of Imagination

 Your present circumstance is not a significant factor when considering where you CAN be tomorrow; we have seen people move from prison to the palace! The challenge is that we usually allow things to happen to us rather than make things happen but that is changing in Jesus name, Amen.

• 1.      Sit down with yourself and decide on what you want out of life based on the Word of God
• 2.      Write it down somewhere (very important!)
• 3.      Imagine being in possession of that which you want or the position that you want to be. If you are single imagined yourself married Hallelujah!
• 4.      Enjoy the feeling of having what you want or being where you want to be. Generate the ‘feeling’ of THEN NOW!
• 5.      Tell it to God in prayer and ask him to bring it to pass
• 6.      Speak it because it is the word that will eventually become flesh
• 7.      Take a step in the direction of your desire

Remember that everything that you need to be anything that you want is already available. The fact that you cannot see it does not mean it is not there! (Sam Adeyemi)

The law of imagination is not a euphemism for laziness or indolence, to increase your mental capacity you need a positive commitment to study. One of the greatest diseases of our generation is the lack of commitment to diligent study and hard work. That must change if we are going to achieve anything worthwhile; a slothful man has no place in the Kingdom of God. Prv.24v30-31.

Finally, the power of imagination is like your muscle if you do not use it you will lose it and the more you use it, the stronger it will become. You will get THERE in Jesus name, Amen.

Power of Imagination (1)

The greatest nation on earth is not the United States of America after all! In addition, do not think that it is the People’s Republic of China or even Russia; if you do, you are very wrong because it is none of these nations and alas, it is not all of them combined together.

I make bold to proclaim to you that the greatest nation on earth is not even a nation (per se) but it is your IMAGI-N-A-T-I-O-N. Yes, go on believe it; you (with your Power of Imagination) are greater, stronger and more powerful than any combination of all the nations mentioned above.

The two greatest discoveries (as far as I am concerned) of the last century are that;

a.     You can change your life (situation, circumstance…... fill in the blank) by changing the state of your mind.

b.     The most brilliant (intelligent, ingenious, creative etc) individual that ever lived has only been able to use (a paltry) 5% of his/her brain power.

What has the above discoveries (of course, they are not new) have to do with my earlier assertion? Everything, as you will soon see. If indeed you can change (anything) by altering the state of your mind and all the technological, economical, political (and all other CALs) achievements obtained in the world now are the result of utilizing ONLY 5 % OF OUR BRAIN POWER imagine (that word again) how powerful you will be WHEN you start using 7% of your available mental power!

Thank God for the BIBLE, a long time ago this book of all books has the following to say as recorded in the Genesis 11 v6 (KJV), Proverbs 23v7a (KJV) & Mark 9v23:

‘And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have IMAGINED to do’

‘For as he thinketh in heart, so his he’

‘Jesus said to unto him, if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth’

According to the Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary, Imagination is the ability to create pictures in your mind or the part of the mind that does this. The Microsoft Encarta (2009 ed.) defines it as the ability to form images or ideas in the mind especially of things never seen or experienced before.

It is a true saying that ‘seeing is believing’ and Jesus said (Mark 9v23) “all things are possible …. To them that believe”. The meaning of this is that we MUST first SEE (in our Imagination) before we can receive anything that we ask for in prayer.

Let me put it this way, when you have a need that you are trusting God for, prior to praying about that need you MUST first IMAGINE that you have what you need before praying for that it. God used this pattern with Abraham when he helped him to visualize the number of his offspring. Gen. 15v5
