For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Mark 11:23 (KJV)
You need to be significant here in life, or else no one will know your name, or remember you. Sometimes you think and you are not aware, what make one significant is the quality of one's thought. We are a collection of our thoughts, you have to control your mind by your thought. In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee. 1 king 3 vs 5, what you think is what your prayer is centered on.
The widow went to Prophet Elisha, she complained about the things going wrong in her life. Her thoughts was focused on what she didn't have, therefore, when she was asked what she had in the house, her response was to that she had nothing save a little oil. The prophet however could see something else. And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil. 2 Kings 4:2 KJV

Why do people fail? People fail because they think of failure, because their thoughts give them millions of reasons why whatever they are about to do or embark on won't work. Once we allow this thought to have sway in our mind it begins to hold ground. At this point anytime we have a thought of growth, the negative thoughts of failing speaks against the growth. Destiny is limited by our thought; destiny and purpose of man can be destroyed by the things we think about limitations and self defeat is first built up by our thoughts. I am not a failure if only I can change the quality of my thought, you can control your thinking and the things you have thought.

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Joshua 1: 8. The summation of our thoughts determines how successful we would becomes. Our thoughts are powerful, therefore we re to guard it with our whole heart!
