INSPIRED TODAY: Desire (A silent Prayer)

What would you do if you were told that you cannot fail? The first time i heard this question, my heart stopped for a split second. I felt like i could do anything. If only you could ponder on this question for some minutes, you will discover the power that dwells on your inside. There is ability inherent in man that enables him to do the things he sets his mind to do.
If we go back in history we would remember the story of the Tower of Babel. The people gathered together to build a tower that will reach the heavens so that they could see God. Their language was scattered afterwards, in order to cause confusion amongst them.

The question is this; why didn’t God tear down the tower and maybe punish them? He didn’t because He knew that anything the people have imagined in their mind, they would achieve. The only option left was to change their language. Changing their language only achieved one thing, which was to break their accord. He knew their success was in the singleness of their thoughts. They were in one accord, and if they didn’t understand themselves, their alliance would be destroyed.

Hence, whatsoever a man proposes in his mind to do, he can achieve. Many of us think we have built castles in the air, when we think of our dreams and aspirations. But the truth is that that’s where they ought to be—right there in the sky—all you need to do is put the foundations right there beneath them!! Man was designed to create by thoughts and images, just like God created the world by thoughts and images. You see, images form in our minds and they become thoughts, thoughts become words   and words become actions. Just like word became flesh.

Now, what do you desire? What do you want to achieve? What are your dreams and aspirations? The challenge most us face is the inability to focus on our dreams. We tend to be doubt our own desires. By doubt I mean being double minded. We most times are not sure about what we want to do and that is the reason why we don’t lay hold on anything. What we need is a singleness of purpose. If we have this, we can never fail. It is as sure as the ground. A double minded man can never achieve anything, because when he sets his hands on one, and meets a challenge in that path, which is bound to happen, he becomes afraid, and switches to the second option at which he would also meet a challenge. He becomes confused and paranoid; he loses trust in himself and gives up.

So, in order to achieve the things you want, it is expedient to do these three things; Make your desires clear, meditate on them/ think from them, act.  Over the next three episodes i am going explain these three steps in detail. How to  make your desires clear, how to think from them, and how to act.
