THOUGHT OF THE DAY.
As the year is coming to an end I have been thinking about my beliefs.
What we believe is really important in the bigger scheme of things.
Because the truth of the matter is, what you believe will always override potential.
No matter how much potential you have, what you believe will determine
what you do and can do in life.
I remember reading how circus elephants are trained. When they are young
they tie them to a tree or something they won’t be able to break. When
they grow up the trainers still tie them to that same object fully convinced they won’t
break free and the elephants despite their incredible size and weight don’t break free
even though they could if they tried. They have been conditioned from childhood that
they can’t break the cord so they don’t try!
YAH has put so much potential in us but if we think we can’t do it then that’s exactly
what will happen, we won’t do it!
We need to get rid of outdated beliefs. Those negative beliefs will stop us dead in our tracks.
YAH has so much in store for us but we need to take a long hard look at the beliefs we hold
in every area of our lives.
The conditioning has been going on for a very long time and that is why we need to take time
when looking at the different beliefs we hold.
The way you will know a belief is wrong is by holding it up to the Word of God.
The word is TRUTH, not A truth but THE truth.
And realize that all it takes for a belief to be a negative belief is it to be inconsistent with the
word of God. It doesn’t need to be out rightly wrong or bad, it just needs to be slightly different from
what the word of God says!
I know there are some outdated beliefs I am still operating in, holding on to.
But I bring them to YAH and ask Him to change them with new beliefs, beliefs that
are based on His unchanging TRUTH.
It’s only by changing my beliefs that I can fully maximize my potential.
You can’t work at your maximum potential if your beliefs are wrong.
As we say goodbye to 2017 and say hello to 2018 let’s look at the erroneous beliefs that
we have been living with. Beliefs that we didn’t necessarily give ourselves but were kind of
given to us when we didn’t know better.
What beliefs are you living by today?
Let the Word of God be your measure.
Are the beliefs you living by propelling you or stifling you??
Are they in line with the Word of God or contradicting it?
As I close remember that self belief will always override potential.
YAH has a bright future for you (read Jeremiah 29:11) so get rid of outdated beliefs
that will stop you from walking into the amazing things He has for you.
Bless you friends….

Thank you for sharing this. I really loved when you said “The way you will know a belief is wrong is by holding it up to the Word of God.”
As a new Christian, I struggle sometimes with the challenges of my old life. Reading the bible has been keeping me on the path God wants from me and I am so grateful for that.
Can I ask what “YAH” means? I am still learning! 🙂
Hi….
I am so glad to hear how the word has changed your life. That’s another reason to read it. It has the power to transform a life.
“YAH is one of the names of God.
‘God’ and ‘Lord’ are just titles like ‘Mr and Mrs’.
Read this article which explains what YAH means in detail.

You welcome!

This is amazing! We have to hold up our beliefs to the word of God! This absolutely has to be our measure. I love it when I’m going through something and I learn that my belief system doesn’t match up with the word, because it gets to change, and I get to change. God bless you Rolain. Thanks for sharing 😊
I am glad to hear that Mema Daisy. The word has to be our measure as that is the only “truth” we can rely on. I am so grateful YAH is changing us day by day. Enjoy your day!!
Bless you
