What Is Meditation?
Our focus for this week is the power of meditation! Some Scriptural passages that we had looked at this week include; Philippians 4:8. Here, we focused on what we are meditating on. When we repeatedly think of something, we end up meditating on that specific thing, feeling or emotion, and we waste our lives on that.
We also looked at Joshua 1:8 where we saw the three things we ought to do to get prosperity and success;
We also read about Paul sharing to Timothy about how one should not be cast aside solely because of your age. One should adopt an exemplary character and set an example for others as youngsters who have laid down their lives for the Lord. We need to live a blemishless life. Like Paul said, we should read a lot!
Leaders are readers!
We read in Genesis 24:63 about Issac and his time alone with God. His relationship with God was important to him. He was not busy chasing after relationships with people or with the world. Even when it came to his life partner, he did not chase after women. At the right time, Rebekah approached him in his place of prayer. There is a message to be learnt from this! If your focus is on God and building your relationship with Him, when the time is right, He will bring the life partner that He has set apart for you! We see the life stories of Timothy and Issac after they had meditated, the work of God in their lives.
What is meditation?
In Greek the word for meditation is ‘meletao’ which means ‘revolve in the mind’, ‘imagine’ which means your mind is completely involved. In Hebrew, the word is ‘haga’ which means ponder, imagine, study, muse, mutter, utter, roar, and many such words. Your lips and mouth are involved, not just your mind. It is when we are thinking out loud.
Meditation is connected to imagination. It is visualisation in the mind. Imagination comes before creation or any conception. Anything that is created be it a table, a mug, etc stems from imagination. Even God imagined and planned and visualised before creation.
Prophetic imagination is not fantasy!
Let us recall Paul reminding Timothy of the prophecy by Barnabas into the life of Timothy and many others who laid hands on him and uttered prophecies. From that grows the imagination for the future.
Prophecies and promises can take you to the next level!
Psalm 1:2 says; but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.
Psalm 2:1 says; Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?
These two passages talk about meditation from two different perspectives.
We also looked at Joshua 1:8 where we saw the three things we ought to do to get prosperity and success;
- Meditate the Word
- Speak the Word
- Practise the Word
