Reality of 360° Transformation

Reality of ​360° Transformation
By: Isaac O. Akinpelu
📜"And don't for a minute let ​this Book​ of ​The Revelation​ be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you'll get where you're going; then you'll succeed."
Joshua 1:8 (MSG VERSION)

📜Study ​this​ ​Book​ of ​Instruction​ continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. (NLT VERSION)

​📜This book​ of ​the​ ​law​ shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
( KJV)

​ONE​ fundamental secret from the Word of God that has made significant changes in my life is the ​power​ ​of meditation.​
Transformation in one's life, marital, career, academic, financial, social, material life and the most important which is spirituality.

The dynamic changes in these are traceable to the secret in our opening scripture:

Reality Wisdom: ​The thoughts we nurture determine the future we feature.

My dear, thoughts are creative. No wonder God said the meditation in His THOUGHT (Word) should be day and night.

For whatever occupies my thought has power to create my future.

This is God's prescription as the foundation for an outstanding living.

Wrong thought leads to failure in life. These are high things that exalt themselves against the thoughts (revelation knowledge) of God.

That's why  we're charged to cast down imagination and every high thing and bring them into captivity!

How? 

By incessant meditation, utteration and action on the THOUGHT of God!

So think about the thoughts you're taking and the sources that feed the thoughts.
Jesus the Saviour said,  take no thought for your life...take thoughts first for the KINGDOM Affairs (Matthew 6:28-33).

What a thought syllabus!
Wrong thought springs from wrong materials; I mean the things anyone in the circle of failure has read, heard, seen, his environment and  the company he keeps.

In the light of Scriptures:

Reality Wisdom: Success becomes predictable when we​ ​follow divine precepts​.

You see beloveth, a man is successful, not primarily because of what he does but basically what he ​constantly​ ​thinks​. Thought of success has obsessed a man of success and no matter what you throw at him, He's like a tree planted by the side of the river, bringing forth its fruits in seasons, and ​whatsoever he does shall prosper!​
Let's consider Romans 12:1-2 (MSG Version)

​"So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.​"

So, the first question you must ask and answer is this, ​"What DO I THINK ABOUT MOST OF MY TIME and WHAT IS THE ROOT OF THIS THOUGHT?"​

Remember, as a man thinks, so he is, and so he lives. Now the Lord says if you invest your time thinking the way He thinks,  you'll live the way He lives, your success will be durable and trans-generational.

This investment in taking God's thought as it is written and revealed will make your harvest a reality, because the transformation that comes from it will make it impossible for you to retrogress, though there will be challenges as a result of your enviable testimonies.

Whatever is built on this DIVINE document called Bible has a guaranteed and eternal Future.
The cause of and the courses a life goes can be predicted based on what he does or does not do with with the Word of God. You can control your mind by feeding it with Higher Thoughts (Isaiah 55:7-11)

Our ultimate worth in life is a function of what roles we deliberately and consistently play and our attitude to the Word of God.

📌 Can we conclude that a young man studying Engineering in the university and who seriously does so till final year will surely be called an engineer sooner or later?

📌 Can we further declare that that lady who is passionately studying Medicine and Surgery and has kept at it till house job or housemanship will certainly end up a medical doctor?

Without doubt, their identities as doctor and engineer cannot be separated from the materials in engineering and medicine that they have committed their time to.

Now through the light of the infallible and immutable Word of God dominating the way we think, we end up being set above only. ​He said:​

" If you diligently hearken. ..I will set you up on high above all nations of the earth..." Deut. 28:1

The 360° TRANSFORMATION begins from ​360° degree transformation in thinking.​

​Changing​ ​a life is possible by changing its thoughts.​ Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man ​his thoughts.​ ..

Now Beloveth, get back to the control center and lavishly feed your thought with God himself, the one who dwells in Light and He's called ​THE​ ​LIGHT.​ The Father of glory whose Son is our hope of glory. In Him, we live, breathe and have our being.  What will happen as an effect of the cause?

See, Psalms 1:1-3 reveals it in the Message Version

​"How well​ ​God​ ​must like you​ — ​you don’t hang out at Sin Saloon,​ you don’t slink along Dead-End​ ​Road,​ ​you don’t go to Smart-Mouth College.​
​Instead you thrill to God’s Word,​ ​you chew on Scripture day and night.​
​You’re a tree replanted in Eden,​
​bearing fresh fruit every month,​
​Never dropping a​ ​leaf, always in blossom​ "

I love that, never dropping a leaf, always in blossom! That's the way your life is originally programmed to soar!

Here is your Reality Worksheet

INFORMATION​ (​THE BOOK)​
Deliberately guard the gateways to your life: eyes and ears. Fight against mental junks and time robbers.

This is by being selective on what books you read, what you hear and watch consistently.

Feed your thought with success, success and good success through the Bible and proven prolific authors.

MEDITATION (THE THOUGHTS):​
This is the exercise of mentally rolling over, pondering on divine thoughts. It involves creative thinking, creating realities with divinely inspired, refined, processed thoughts. It encompasses thinking, muttering, speaking calmly and roaring God's thought boldly.

​ACTION (THE STEPS):​
Doing the first two guarantees the future that God has ordained for you and me.

It's after genuinely flowing through the first two that you hear some folks at this realm speak like drunkards or as though they're proud,  you've heard fiery words like " I can never be a failure in this life .I can never be poor!"
These are absolute utterances, they emanate from the laws of the Spirit of life; they have invisible back-ups that never fail!

It's what fills you that drives you.

At this realm you're said to have power with God.You operate like a spiritual judge.  You speak the Word, it cuts across all realms and the Word is obeyed. You're no longer the one speaking, for the Greater one whose thoughts you've taken never fails!

​TRANSFORMATION​ ​(THE​ ​EFFECTS)​
Then you shall have enviable success!
