You may not be able to keep birds from flying over your head, but you can prevent them from landing on your head. So you need to put an immigration officer at the door of your mind. Once those negative thoughts come in, throw them out and meditate on heavenly things.
It is that meditation that connects someone’s mind to divine creativity.
It transforms worry to wisdom, and we need to start practising it.
If you regularly practise meditation, particularly in this 2026, you will come back and share testimony. Where you thought it was a big problem, you did not know God had been talking to you about it.
You need to always meditate:
✓✓ To keep your mind constantly renewed by the word of God.
✓✓ To maintain divine focus in this noisy and distracted world.
✓✓ To receive divine direction and inner guidance.
✓✓ To strengthen your intimacy with the Holy Spirit.
These are principles of scripture we do not really go into, and believers do not study about them. Many of those funny religions sit quietly for hours and say they are meditating. Everything started from the Bible; it is we believers that are not using our facilities.
✓✓ To transform revelation into your daily living.
✓✓ To overcome fear, anxiety and depression, which are overshadowing the world now.
✓✓ To keep your spiritual fire burning.
✓✓ To align your own emotions with the will of God.
✓✓ To grow in wisdom, discernment and spiritual maturity.
✓✓ To understand scriptures deeply and accurately.
✓✓ To be able to hear the still, small voice of God.
✓✓ To activate creative thinking inspired by the Holy Spirit.
These are reasons to start practising it.
Now let me become practical. People do quiet time every morning, which you should do before you go out. In the morning hours, most places are quiet. If not, look for a quiet place in the day and do the following:
¶¶ You need a quiet place where you can be alone before the Lord.
¶¶ You may need to get to work early before others come if possible.
¶¶ Pray the Holy Spirit overshadow your being, your heart, and your mind.
¶¶ You now choose a scripture, that is, a short passage, a spiritual truth, a divine command, a divine revelation, or a divine promise.
For example: “The Lord is with me; I will not fear. What can man do unto me?” Just take one scripture.
Now read the scripture slowly, repeatedly or whatever revelation or command you want to meditate upon. Read it slowly and repeatedly; read it out loud.
¶¶ You now prayerfully ponder and think deep on the scripture or the thing you have chosen to meditate upon. Think about it. Begin to ask yourself. “What is God saying here? What is He trying to teach me here?
What lesson can I learn here?
What is the implication of this scripture? Does it reveal anything about God to me?
What do I need to change about my life with what I am reading?” Think deeply like that.
“What does this scripture reveal?
∆∆ What action am I required to take?
∆∆ What action should I apply to my life?” After doing that,
You wait quietly before the Lord, inviting the Lord to speak. His quiet voice will speak to your mind.
∆∆ Whatever information you receive,
∆∆ Write it down. Because you may forget.
∆∆ Personalise this scripture you are meditating upon.
∆∆ Turn it to a confession, turn it to prayer, then turn it to a declaration.
∆∆ Obey that word and the instructions.
∆∆ Make it a regular affair.
∆∆ You may need a small notebook to jot down what God is saying to your heart. God speaks to everyone; whether you hear or not is another problem. The Bible says, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” (Revelation 3:20).
If God is abandoning you to go and talk to one prophet about you, you need serious help; you need to cry to heaven. It may not be that He is not talking; it may be that He is talking and you are not listening.
There are almost 50 ways He talks to people in the Bible. But there is one way He talks to all of us. There is something in you where you are sitting called conscience. It is our internal policeman God has put in us. If you are doing something really bad, something will say, “It is not good. Do not do it.” You may silence it, but it will talk. Even all those hardened criminals have a conscience. It will always talk. You see, you either have a good or bad conscience. But everyone has it.
Some ask questions, like, “How about those who did not hear the gospel and died?” God will use their conscience. Once you are born again, the Holy Spirit takes hold of that inner voice and begins to talk to you. That is how most believers hear God. That voice saying, “You are going out without prayer” – that is the voice. “You should not have answered that woman.” That is the voice. “Do not talk again,” that is the voice. “Shut up,” that is the voice. “Sit down there and do not react.” That is the voice.
All believers have the voice. All you need to do is practise what you have been taught. You will begin to hear what it is saying to you. A lot of people make mistakes with their lives because they did not listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking within them. This is not a year to experiment with your life.
