TOPIC: TYPES OF MENTALITY: Fact Driving Mentality (2)

One Year Bible Reading: 
1 Samuel 14 - 15, Luke 19: 1 - 43.

MEMORY VERSE:
Philippians 4:8.
"8. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

BIBLE READING:
Numbers 13:31-33.
"31. But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we."
"32. And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature."
"33. And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."

Thinking Point:
When we are moved by what we see we can't enjoy what God has in plan for us.

Faith driving mentality has its opposite which is Fact driving mentality. "Until I see with my own eyes I can't believe it". "This is the fact on the ground, I work with it not what I can't see". This mentality hinders one's progress in God and all ramification. Apostle Paul says, in 2 Corinthians 4:18,
“18. While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."

This mentality of “seeing is believing” has restricted many from enjoying what God has for us. The ten (10) spies held onto what they saw, not what God could do. They came with a discouraging report and the multitude believed their report which led them to be discouraged. This mentality, if looked into critically, it's a product of fear of the unknown. Another aspect of the fact mentality is that it's more acceptable than faith driving mentality. People tend to believe it more than what they can't see. 

In 2 Kings 7, Prophet Elisha declared by faith what the Lord was about to do but the right hand man of The king said, "how can it be possible with the situation of things" that was fact driving mentality in action. But what God says will always come to pass.

Which fold do you belong, Fact driving or faith driving mentality? We all know how it ended ten (10) spies. It stops one's movement and brings stagnation. What mentality governs your life and day? Check it and make an amendment today.

Good morning, and God bless you.

" Why Are You Afraid?" Bible Passage: Mark 4:36-40. "36. they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed)." "37. But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water." "38. Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” "39. When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm." "40. Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” Opposition After Victory  When Jesus was resting in the boat comfortably after His crusade with different signs and wonders. The devil saw that he lost many battles, many of his captives were delivered and set free from their shackles. He was enraged at Jesus. The reason for th...

HOW DO YOU TREAT YOUR PEOPLE?

HOW DO YOU TREAT YOUR PEOPLE?  Who are My people? My people start with my immediate Family, my extended family, my relatives, the folds of believers, my tribe, friends, colleagues and then my Nation. How far can you go to protect your people; Your family, relatives, home and your nation? How committed are you to your people? Hope you are not selfish about your people for greed of money, position, title and wealth? Using Esther As Our Case Study For This Article "6. For how can I endure to see MY PEOPLE AND MY FAMILY slaughtered and destroyed?” Who was Esther? She was a slave and an orphan brought up by Mordecai in Babylon. She was pretty, well trained and loyal to her uncle. Her humble and trained life helped her take over the throne of Vashti. Pride caused the dethroning of the Queen before Esther. Queen Esther was living in immunity as a Queen but used her position to help her people by saving them from nationwide destruction. Esther was a woman who made history til...
