Listen and Think Before You Act
This is a lesson which I learned from my father,however I spiced it up a bit to have this aroma.
I simplified it into LLTDD=Look,Listen,Think,Decide and Do.Everytime I remind myself of this,I feel more motivated,eager and determined to do only the best.I trust that,it can do the same unto your life,it can activate your potential and make you stand against all odds…This was inspired by the Proverbs written by King Solomon1.LOOK AND LISTENIn Genesis 15c,it says,”From where you are,look carefully in all directions”.Look around you,how many,can you see.I mean picture yourself,dont you see any potential that you have.Is the person,you see in the mirror,a failure?Take a good look of yourself,you are a victor and you have the image of God,you look like God and God is not a failure.Take a good look at what God has created,do you see failure?Ofcourse,no!…In Proverbs 18:13a,it says,”Listen before you answer”.This sound like a joke,but what are you going to answer,if you dont listen carefully.How are you going to respond,if you listen to your heart,I mean your conscience.In your conscience.Listen carefully,the Spirit which has a soft voice,but His instructions are rich in prosperity2.THINKIn Proverbs 13:16a,15:28a,16:23a,says,”Sensible people always think before they act”,”Good people think before they answer”,”Intelligent people think before they speak”. THINK BEFORE,THINK BEFORE NOT AFTER.After you have listened to conscience,you now think before.You think before you act or answer or speak out your view or do.You develop strategies or plans while you are thinking before.This is also called to prepare.They say,Proper Preparation Prevent Poor Performance,thats for sure.They even say,Prepaire to avoid repair,why?because repare is difficult…Intelligent,good and sensible people,think before and carefully think and think and think and think…..?3.DECIDEOoh when somebody is thinking,there are decisions which are to be taken.Thinking is a decision making process,where the most suitable choice will be taken.You have looked,listened,thought and now its the time to decide.I picture Cain,when God said,”If you had done the right thing,you would be smiling;but because you have done evil,sin is crouching at your door.It wants to rule you,but you must overcome it”Gen 4:7.At first,Cain looked at the situation,then listened to God,then thought for a moment and decided to sin by killing his brother.That was a wrong choice which led him to Wandering and he was cursed.Simply because of what he decided,after his thoughts.Now always make the right decisions,which come from the soft voice of the Spirit,thats from listening.4.DOYou have looked,listened,thought,decided and now you do.While you were thinking and deciding,you came across the DO’S and DONT’S.But now you have to do,your best decision.If you can check the previous parts,they end up here.Its like sowing into your thoughts,but now you are reaping.Its like you were drawing a plan,but now you are building according to the plan,you are not going to get suprized because you know the plan and you know the outcomes…I thank my father,for teaching me this.He inspired this to me,but as I was flying I explored more and more ideas.And most of all,Credits to My Heavenly Father for expanding this………
