Elevate Your Thought Pattern (Part 2)!

INSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Saturday, May 3, 2025 Topic: ELEVATE YOUR THOUGHT PATTERN (Part 2)! Memory Verse: ‭‭"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; But his heart is not with thee" - Proverbs 23:7 KJV Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭Genesis 13:14-15 KJV 14. And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: 15. For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. INSPIRATION: Sometimes, we just might be thinking we're doing greatly, smart enough and intellectually astute until we encounter certain individuals who display uncanny wisdom, deep insight and quality knowledge, and you suddenly realise you're behind time and need some update and upgrading to do. Whenever we're confronted with superior knowledge, it is a clear indicator that we need to elevate our thinking. You show signs of growth and maturity when your thinking improves in proportion to the quality of information available to you. For the kind of life you aspire to live and the quality of impact you desire to make, whether in business, entreprenuership, career, finances, or relationships, there's a need for a radical but elevated shift in how you think and process data to make greatly informed decisions. You can't aspire to head a fortune 500 company and you're not thinking digitally or globally. You can't do much with your aspirations if you can't think analytically. Truth is, block heads don't make beauty queens. Don't expect to wear a crown that commands high respect when your thinking processes are flawed and can't provoke intelligent discussions. Don't be trapped in a body you've outgrown its size because you can't use your mind. Proverb's verdict is: you're exactly what you think! Putting the ball right in your court - you're still where you are in life due to how you think. If follows therefrom that if you hoped to have advanced farther but haven't, then something is wrong with the way you think. Hard truth but it's our stack reality. Harsh, but if that's what will get you to act right going forward, here you've it! For where you're to be, you can't get there unless you lift up eyes, and look from the place where you are. That's a call to have an elevated thinking pattern. TODAY'S TAKE HOME: Elevated thought patterns broaden your ability to conceptualise realities that are not mundane. Be above in your thinking so you don't have to play in a debased league. PRAYER: Dear Lord, I receive grace to think and operate on a higher scale, and to have results that are not elementary. My eyes are lifted to see the world and realities that are possible just like Abram saw. I've a worldview that is not skewed to pursue material acquisition at the expense of living purposefully and creating life-lifting impact, in Jesus name.
