Situations can try to clone you. In most cases of life, people become victims of facts. I had this mental shift recently to add to my collection. When hearing gets transformed to deeper understanding then the entire story changes. To put it out quick; FACT IS NOT TRUTH. We are living in a world colonized by facts and in the process many have ended up underliving.
Because you don't have access to wealth at the moment doesn't translate that you are poor. Even before going to expand on the need to understand that there are different layers of wealth, my concern here is that many start proclaiming poverty on themselves. They say it so much that it in turns becomes them.
I had such a person around me that was always complaining about the economy, bad government, comparing our country with the nearby country and how he hears things are working much better. He would always conclude that if he has funds he will leave the country.
I had to at some point give him the needed correction because I was looking for a way to culture my environment. I don't like negative energy around me. Ok, I am not saying our country has been TOP notch but despite the fact that there are so many inconveniences, people are still busting into greatness. The difference is seeing opportunities where others settle down to complain.
It is ALL about refusing the wrong odds. Be positive to a point that positivity is attracted to you. There is always a need to wake and challenge negative situations with words. I am not poor, I am not ungodly, I am not sick, I am not useless, I am not a drunkard or a glutton, I refuse to be lazy and so on. Whatever negative situation is trying to surface or is even in operation, counter it again and again.
Well, even if all these things may be currently taking place in your life, altering things is first a process before it becomes a reality. Words have Power or is it not written ‘and the word became flesh and lived amongst men’---John 1:14. Maybe we can also look at the next scriptural backing. >Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weakling say, “I am strong!”---Joel 3:10
To conclude let me add, what you do not like, counter it, keep countering it until the needed changes manifest. As I earlier said, fact is not truth. Don't conform to this mistaken identity. To also add to that, there is always a need to be grateful when trying to fight off negative odds.
You may be currently slacking in finance but you haven't been spending on hospital bills. You can build from here; this is already proof that God cares. Collect all the positive things happening around you and use them as points of contact to challenge negativities. Don't give backwardness any room.
