ON IMAGINATION

That a man can be his own worst enemy is something some folks are finding difficult to believe. However is true if we consider some scriptures. In Genesis 11:16 we heard God said "Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
" As an organisation this true because in an organisition we there is no agreement (unity) things will always go wrong and such an organisation will go round in circles. It is also true with individuals in the sense that when a mind concieves an idea and a part of him is saying it is not doable. Then there is disagreement (even though he is just one person). So there is disagreement 'between' one person. The condition that a man disagrees with himself is an harbinger for failure. That is why, in the book of James, the bible says that a doubtful person (someone who disagrees with himself and God) should expect nothing for is request.
God honours our faith which stems from our imagination. And He says nothing can retrain us if we be of one mind. Hence Proverbs 23:7 says as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. So a man is a product of his imagination.
On a final note, Jesus said in John 20:29 that blessed are those who have not seen (physically) and yet have believed(in their minds). So learn to always put your mind to work and never let it go to sleep. You shall emerge!
