Hello Mes Amis,

In my recent post I made a statement which kind of birthed this one. The statement goes thus;

Everything we see today starting from the smallest pin to the largest plane stated with imagination.

So, today we are going to look at what imagination is, it's important, it's evil side and how to derive power from it. Sit tight and enjoy the ride😁

IMAGINATION

Let's have a quick look at the meaning of imagination

According to Wikipedia;

• Imagination is A mental image formed by the action of the imagination as a faculty; a conception; a notion; an imagining; something imagined

• The image-making power of the mind; the act of creating or reproducing ideally an object not previously perceived; the ability to create such images.

There are moments we have wishful thinking and at that very moment, like a diligent expert script writer, we start arranging images in my head and giving life to things that weren't before as though they are. We begin to stage plays, eliminate characters and create new ones. And at the very end we either wish for those things to come out into the real world or we desperately pray they don't!

All in all, Imagination can be a weapon for good or bad.

It is expedient to say that imagination is a realm. It is actually a soulish realm, where thoughts and the minds are put in alignment. It is so important you know this because what you do in this realm can go a long way in affecting your mind, your brain activity and even your general physical well being.

Let me cite an example here: suppose you entered a room with no light that is a room full of darkness, and you are not familiar with such environment, a sense of fear and cautiousness will fall on you, not because you have seen any thing that an cause harm to you but because, your imagination will be put to play due to various things you have heard or watch. Hence, at the sound of any sound especially a fearful one, you will run out of the room. It isn't cowardice rather it's natural instinct.

God's perception about imagination

2 Corinthians 10:4-5

[4](For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

[5]Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

This is a popular Bible verse, but most don't really get the ideology behind this verses. Remember Paul the apostle already told us we are not warring against flesh and blood but principalities and power and rulers of the dark realm and spiritual wickedness in high places, but here he gave us the weapons we need to use to overcome these warfare because truly there is a war going on and you have to be equipped to win it.

Now, let me point your attention to the something crucial verse 4 is saying; Know that God is the one that strengthens anything you have to become a powerful weapon to defeat the enemy. Know that you don't derive power from within, rather it comes from without, from God. Once you realise this, you won't focus on your own ability or power because truly God gave man an independent power. This power is contained in the soulish realm albeit it is limited in form, and it is in it own self ungodly.

Back to imagination as a weapon, God empowers your imagination to become a weapon to overcome all the warfare the devil and his cohorts may direct towards you.

There are imaginations, thoughts and knowledge that are contrary to God and are destructive to your well-being. But you need the power of God to pull them all down. A sister called me this morning to share the situation of her friend with me. She said she (her friend) is experiencing some difficult situations which include insomnia, getting afraid for no reason, perpitation of the heart and increased heart beat, all for no reason at all. She said she only notice that bad, fearful and dangerous thoughts just comes into her mind even without thinking towards such directions and the result is those things I have mentioned. These are the warfare of the devil; evil imagination and knowledge contrary to the will of God. You need to equip your mind and spirit with the word and love of God.

A person once testified that sometimes ago she was living in constant fear, evil imagination and instability of the mind and this affected her finance, health and relationship with others in no small way. She become drawn away from human relations and the more she draws herself away the more she gets infested by this evil. And when she tried to get closer to people, she ended up either hurting them or they running from her. But when she met the Lord Jesus, she was completely healed of that condition and the imagination that once troubled her became a means of worshipping God and birthing good ideas into the world

Conclusion

Jesus gave a final call to all;

Matthew 11:28

[28]Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
