BE TRANSFORMED WITHIN

“Matthew 12:34b – …for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.”

The first work of faith is to focus on being, not on speaking. This is why our opening text stresses that what we speak is a product of what has filled our hearts, that is, confession is first a product of being.

Your being is a sum total of everywhere you have been i.e. the sum of all that you have accumulated as you were growing up. All the things people have said to you, and the experiences you have had etc. have all gone inside you to form your being. That is the reason why you cannot exceed all that you have seen and heard.

Thus, to experience a change from within, it is important to position yourself to start seeing and hearing differently from what you have been seeing and hearing all your life. It is time to wipe away all your old experiences and the negative things that happened in the past, refusing to meditate on them.

Realize that every time you think about a thing, you are adding it to your being. So, instead of thinking on negative things that have happened, set your focus on good and desirable things. Meditate on the promises of God and migrate to the company of those who speak in line with what God says, remembering that it is out of the abundance of your heart that you will manifest.
