The need to understand our reality is driven by our fear of the implications it could bring. In most cases the reason why we really want to master our reality is because we want to stay on top of the situation, control or manipulate it for a better out come. The interpretations of our realities originate from the thoughts we entertain, feelings, emotions, our beliefs, upbringing, environment and who we are surrounded by. Changing our thoughts can change our reality. When our thoughts are grounded and centered in God’s word, our realities will be interpreted through His word. When faced with reality, there are often people who would tell you that you are fully responsible for creating all your life experiences and situations. Yet, others will tell you that you are responsible for the emotional and physical response you have towards the situation. In short, It’s not what happens to us that builds, develops, breaks or destroys us but it’s how we respond to it.

The Good news is that for those who believe in God, it does not matter what your reality is, what people have said about the same issue or how many people have failed in the area you are looking to succeed in. What matters is the mighty power of your God working in you and through you. Your reality as you read this article might be so hard, impossible or even rarely encountered by many. That is where the uniqueness of our God comes in.  Reality for the children of Israel in Egypt was that they were slaves, who had difficult taskmasters; they did not know day or night. This sounds like some of us when we are going through our realities without involving God. God’s reality and answer to their slavery was, it was for a given time and when God’s appointed time came, they were a free generation. Your reality has a time stamp and expiration date.

Their reality at the banks of the red sea was that there was no way. Pharaoh and his army were closing in on them and the reality was that they would be dragged back into slavery. God’s reality on the very situation was; He had already provided a way even before they approached the banks of the red sea; he divided the red sea for them. David sums it this way: “Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.” Your morning is on your way as you exchange your reality with what the word of God says about it.

Sarah & Abraham’s reality was that Sarah was barren; but God’s answer and reality was that it was possible for her to have a baby. What is your reality today? In the new testament, the reality of the woman with an issue of blood was that she had been sick for 12 years and seen every doctor but no one could cure her. The reality was she had an incurable disease. Jesus’ reality was you have been made well.
She developed a unique believe about her reality and risked her life to be in public,  which was against the Jewish tradition. She told herself, if I could only touch the hem of his garment, I would be healed. What are you telling yourself about your reality today? What you tell yourself in your reality is very crucial to your victory. Take authority and posses your mind and thought patterns. Renew your mind by quoting the word of God and remind yourself what God says about your reality. It may be true that today your reality is regrets of the past, your worries about the future, your anger, guilt, sadness or longing. The good news is that you have absolute power over all these situations and thoughts.

If you cannot fight and resist negative and ungodly thoughts, it is easy to create and live in your own world and blame everyone else for not being part of your world. Amazing things happen when we allow God to take over our realities. He makes all things well, He makes a way where there seems to be none, He opens doors that no man can shut, He showers us with the rain of blessings and even in your desert, there will be a drop of water as a sign that He is in control. Godly thoughts do not just happen, it’s a learned character that comes from practice. When you catch yourself behaving badly in your thoughts, arrest those thoughts and bring them to the cross of Calvary.

We wish you a blessed and successful week as you consider handing over and exchanging your reality with the reality of God. Remember God has you in the palm of his hands. He knows exactly what you are going through; take time to talk to Him today.
