A Book Review #10 (Chapter 9)
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
"Take No Thought"
Thoughts come to us all the time, but you ultimately decide and choose the one you want to dwell on. When you take a thought and ruminate on it, there's no telling what it'll do to and in you.
"To take thought" means to center your mind on something in such a way as to become concerned. Many times it refers to taking a thought that draws us away from what should be our focus (Study: Philippians 4:6-7).
There are Christians who don't think spiritually but carnally all the time. They think only about their money, fame, position, and earthly connections. They're always concerned about how they're perceived by others.
Don't strive to look good before others; be desirous to please the Lord instead. Those who are concerned about what people think about them are slaves of the last people they talked to.
So be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your request be made known unto God. Just tell Him what you want; He's big enough, and He knows everything about your life and the future.
Even when trouble strikes and you feel pressured in your mind, you say, "No, I refuse to be concerned or anxious, in the Name of Jesus! I declare and I confess that I am a success, glory to God.
