Proverbs 23:7 ‘For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.’

DAILY READING; Hebrews 2; Genesis 46:28-47:31; Psalm 37

From 1886, no athlete could complete a mile’s race within four minutes. Despite the efforts of brilliant coaches and gifted runners in North America, Europe, and Australia, it remained impossible. This challenge became the Holy Grail of athletic accomplishment, which every runner strived to achieve. Eventually the ‘experts” came to the conclusion that a human body lacked the capacity to complete a mile in less than four minutes
Everyone appeared to agree with the experts except a medical student studying to become a neurologist. Having a better understanding of how the brain works he came to realize that the challenge was more of a psychological barrier than a physical one. This student named Roger Bannister then decided to devise his own special system for training so as to complete a mile”s race in four minutes.. He refused to let the general negative belief form a stronghold in his mind and began envisioning himself breaking the record.
He did exactly that on May 6, 1954, when he finished a mile’s race in 3:59.4 minutes. Bannister defied all odds and made sports history. Interestingly, when Bannister broke the mark and other runners saw that it could be done, they also began to complete a mile”s race in less than four minutes.
In the last half century, more than a thousand runners have been able to accomplish this feat and conquer a barrier that had once been considered hopelessly out of reach.

Truly as a man thinks in his heart so is he.
A wrong belief can take root in the mind and grow into what the Bible calls a “stronghold” (2 Corinthians 10:4). And when a thought becomes that strong, it begins to control outlooks, attitudes, and actions.
This was clearly what happened when people believed it was impossible to complete a mile’s race within four minutes until someone who dared to think out of the box showed up.
Truly, whatever a man can conceive, he can achieve.
Where the mind goes, the man follows.
We win or lose in life based on what dominates our mind.
This is why the Bible says, in Romans 12:2 [TPT]
‘Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.’

Many times due to what other people around us think, we often find ourselves lowering our expectations and settling for less. Today there are many talks in the society about increasing economy hardship. While this may be the fact, the truth is that as a child of God the covenant under which you operate is stronger than any economic climate in the world. Let God’s Word be your standard and not what other people think or experience.
You have a portion of supernatural supply in Christ, therefore get rid of the scarcity mentality and stand firm on God’s promises to prosper you even in the desert.
God is calling you to be a trail blazer, a trendsetter, a difference maker and a barrier breaker. The Faithful One who has called you is able to accomplish His plans in your life despite the conditions in the world.. What you need to do is study the Word until faith is built up in you to see ‘a lifting up’ when others say there is ‘a casting down’.
Victory and abundance start in your mind. Your thoughts determine your future because your actions always follow your thoughts!
Today let us receive the grace to change our old mindset so as to experience new blessings of breakthroughs, opportunities and greater open doors.

PRAYER: Lord, please enable me to meditate constantly on Your Word so that I can have the faith to achieve incredible things. By Your grace what looks impossible to men will surely become possible in my life in Jesus Name. .
