Why are you failing to attain the goals that you set? You are such a hard worker. But, things aren’t falling in place. What could be the problem?
In Zachariah 4:6 (the Message version of the Bible), God is telling you that « ….you can’t force these things. They only come about through my Spirit… ». Yet we know and appreciate the importance of hard work. Getting things done through the Spirit is a topic for another day.
Consider these two examples. Uber and Airbnb are proof that you can do great things without forcing anything. Don’t you agree? Think about it. How can a group of guys own the most successful hotel or taxi business in the world, yet they do not own a single hotel building or a single taxi?
It is all in your mind! What do you think about all the time? You see, the problem, I believe, is that you limit God in your thoughts. How can you spend your entire time praying and thinking about buying a small used car or a house while someone else is thinking about the most successful taxi business in the world while they do not own a single cab? Right now, what is on your mind? That is where all your answers are.
You may fast, pray, make friends, get connected to so-called people who matter, but if your mind is in the wrong places most of the time, you will be unsuccessful. Get the point? Watch your thoughts because everything about your life originates in your mind (Proverbs 4:23). Practice thinking only about stuff that matters. Philippians 4:8 in the Amplified Classic version says: “For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].” (emphasis mine).
Again, what have you fixed your mind on all this time? Not sure? Just look at what is going on in your life. Your life today is the result of what you fixed your mind on yesterday. Do you desire different results in your life? Then, change your thoughts. You cannot think about poverty all the time and expect wealth. See?
