160613 THINK ON THESE THINGS Philippians 4:1-8 Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honourable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” (ASV) DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: Thinking is very important to living. It affects your vision, confession, action and the interpretation of other people’s actions and reactions. Thinking the right thought therefore puts you on the right track for success in every field of endeavour. Your thoughts are influenced by what your mind is exposed to. What the mind feeds on determines what a man lives on. The only limitation in a man’s life is set by the way he thinks. Our thinking sets the boundary for our living. Every major breakthrough in life is marked by a change in the way a man thinks. What are you thinking about? What do you feed your mind on? God is interested in what we think and how we think. He challenges us in the scriptures to upgrade our thought and He gives us a catalogue of what to think on.” Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honourable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” We are to feed our mind on what is true, honourable, just, pure, lovely, good report, virtue, and praiseworthy. Any thought or idea that does not fit into this list must be immediately cast out of our mind. This is because we cannot live better than what we think. The importance of exposing our mind to the word of God must not be treated with levity. The word of God is the expression of the thought of God, He declares: My thoughts are higher than your thoughts. When we think or meditate on the word of God, we are rubbing our minds with the higher thoughts. Better life begins with better thinking; victorious life with victorious thinking. Think on these things. APPLICATION: Discipline your mind to stay on God’s word. PRAYER FOCUS: Father, by the blood of Jesus, I blot out any thought and idea that conflict with Your word in Jesus’ name.
