A Book Review #13 (Chapter 12)
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
Meditation - Your Moment Of Creation
Creation doesn't end with you just simply imagining a thing and leaving it at that. After you've seen it, you've got to create it and form it (Study: Genesis 1:26-27; 2:7).
Now, you have an image, a vision you want to bring forth. Remember, your imaginative power is your creative ability; whatever you can imagine, you can create. So it's important that you imagine.
Here's where many have misunderstood vision: they're waiting on God to give them one when they should be creating it. Truth is, you may never see a spiritual vision while on this earth, but that shouldn't stop you from being as successful as you choose to be.
When God has given you a Word concerning anything, its creation begins in your mind. This is why it's important that you have times of privacy to work on and with your mind ("moments of creation").
You spend your moments alone creating what you want. When a negative picture comes to your mind, stop it and replace it with the right one. Your moments of meditation are your moments of creation.
"To meditate" means "to focus one's thoughts on; reflect on or ponder over..." It also implies muttering that thought under your voice, speaking it out, and roaring it to yourself.
You meditate until your whole mind is inundated with the idea of what you want to see. Start by reading scripture or some other material in the direction of your vision, so your mind can be well-focused.
If you say you're meditating, and you're not focusing on anything, then your mind isn't creating any picture. You can create the vision you want in your mind. Create the ones He gave you the ability to produce. It's something you've got to consciously choose to do.
