Genesis 11:6
⁶And the LORD 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.
It is amazing how much we can accomplish when we choose to think big. There is no greater potential than what is in your mind hence to this effect God rendered regarding the men building the tower of Babel that nothing could stop them for they had set their mind on it!!
If we consistently think positively, envisioning a life filled with abundance and possibilities, we are likely to manifest just that. The mind holds the key to unlocking our potential and attracting the life we desire.
The mind, with its incredible capacity, possesses the ability to bring forth creations. It is through thought that these creations are first conceptualized. Paul advises us to renew our mind, which yields great transformation (Romans 12:1).
Proverbs 23:7 asserts that as a man thinketh in his heart, so is He. For stagnant thinking breeds only decay but with renewal, our potential finds its way however, what is a renewed mind without the word of God?
Genesis 15:5
⁵And He brought him outside [his tent into the starlight] and said, Look now toward the heavens and count the stars–if you are able to number them. Then He said to him, So shall your descendants be.
When Abraham finds himself consumed by the negativity of not having his own offspring, God redirects His gaze not at what is then but on what is beyond, to look towards the heavens.
The apostle Paul says set your affection on things above not on things on the earth. What you see has a great impact on what you think!
The Greek word ‘phroneo’ (Affection) means to exercise the mind towards a certain direction. To this effect, where is your gaze? What is it that you behold? Widen your capacity as your mind has a great capacity to look beyond what is and to see the greatness deep within.
Still to say; in Genesis 15:5, God brings Abraham outside his tent and invites him to gaze upon the stars, challenging him to count them if he can. In a profound statement, God declares that Abraham’s descendants will be as numerous as the stars in the sky. This passage reminds us that God can do exceedingly, abundantly more than we ask or think. Do not limit God to what your mind is set on. God can do much more than we think so if you think small, you shall get small, think big and you shall get big for our possibilities in God are limitless.
Ephesians 3:20
²⁰Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
We can open ourselves up to a life of infinite possibilities. The power to transform our lives lies within our grasp; all we need to do is use renewed minds and set our gaze above, for above is where greatness resides, but below is where the possible is deemed impossible.
Prophetic Utterance:
My mind is set, renewed by Your word. My gaze is fixed on You my great heritage, I am not limited, I am limitless because You have capacitated me to think big and create big therefore I bless you, Lord, for my enlarged boundaries.

Philippians 4:8
⁸Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.
