Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
The greatest power comes from the mind and the only way great men can enforce their leadership upon their followers is to have great ideas which are superior to that of their followers. When a man’s mind is imprisoned, the whole man i.e everything about him is imprisoned as well. When you want to frustrate a man, twist the reasoning of such man.
However, God will not confine your reasoning to a box such that you become stereotype that was why God gave room for dynamism. Stereotype life was not part of Christ’s ministry.
One of the things you can process from reasoning is ideas. It is through ideas; God gives to his children the ability to prosper. Idea is the seed of vision and vision is the maturity of idea. The beauty of an idea is simplicity. They are not born but discovered.
To have ideas, you must
- · Have a critical mind
- · You must be analytical
- · You must be inquisitive
- · You must be adventurous
- · You must be risk oriented
If you do not have idea you will never be able to take charge or recognize opportunities when they come because idea is an imaginative thought capable of becoming reality. It comes by the power of subjection. But the problem with the church is thinking, unlike Jesus Christ who was a fast thinker such that nobody was an able to entrap him.
How did Jesus have all the ideas? He got them from everyday life. Unlike many of us, we are docile to what is going on around us, we seem to be blinded and oblivious of things around us and consequently fail to take those charge of those opportunities when they come.
Qualities of ideas
- · They must enhance an existing people
- · They must be progressive
- · They must be creative
- · They must be innovative
- · They must be competitive
- · They must be able to change the status quo to achieve a more excellent result.
However, ideas are born by consequence and circumstances, they are borne out of need, they are born when there is a vacuum and ideas could be born when there is a desire to be excellent.
When you have some ideas, you must water it; you must meditate on it, develop your character and synergize the ideas.
