Walk Not After Your Own Imaginations!
Almost everybody frames the world around them with perceptions and imaginations. Though humanly logical, walking in your own imaginations is like setting a death trap for your life (the stress that comes with it alone can drain you totally).
Meanwhile, because of our imaginations, many have turn away from the ways of the Lord to seek their self-driving desires against the Will of God for their lives.
Nobody is preventing you from seeking your dreams, but are those dreams aligning towards your God-driven purpose on earth? If not, then you are struggling in vain. Why, because your struggles will rather lead you into unending struggle (the wrath of God which comes upon the children of disobedience, Ephesians 5:5-6).
The mindset of God is that all may be saved, and that is why you have been purposefully positioned where you are in life to work the Lord's field of souls with the same mindset (Philippians 2:5-11).
Know this, that having the mindset of God is not about being a preacher nor a teacher of the word. It is about having the spirit of God working in you to impact lives.
Thus, you can be a cobbler or a shoe maker and win souls to God by doing your work diligently with the Spirit of God backing you. Likewise, can the rich banker, doctor, engineer and the lot also win souls for God in the same vein.
Walk not after your own imaginations, for your imaginations are limited and deceitful. Rather, seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness, and all other things (including those things that you imagine to have) will be added unto you (Matthew 6:33). Be wise in this stead and enrich your life.
Stay Blessed!

Shalom!!!
