It is 2013, it is a new year and it's January. It is a time when everyone is reviewing their lives and making plans for the year, if you hadn't already done it at the end of 2012. In your personal review of your life you may find that there are things you want to add to your life and things you want to get rid of. Recreating Your World, a book written by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, focuses on the processes we can follow in order to change our lives to exactly the way we want them. Our life and everything in it (the environment, our friends, family, job, careers, opportunities, where we live etc) is our world and we created it. However, in Chris Oyakhilome's book he states that your world can be recreated.
The book is divided into four sections;
1) RECREATING YOUR WORLD - Oyakhilome lays the foundation to explain why we can change our lives or recreate our worlds. He quotes the scripture Acts1v8 'But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you...' As a christian i.e. when you are 'born again' one of the experiences is to receive the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit. Oyakhilome states that when the Holy Spirit comes upon/in you, He gives you power. This power is an ability to cause changes. Equipped with this power we have the ability to recreate our world.
2) YOUR CREATIVE ABILITY - Oyakhilome states that the creative ability in us is our imagination. He gives scriptural evidence to show that our imaginative thoughts can manifest in the natural realm. He emphasises the importance of imagining positive desires and brooding over them until they become clear. Our imaginative power signifies what we can see. In the process of recreating our world we must have a definite vision of what we desire our new world to be like. The extent of the changes in your world will be as far as you can see.
3) CREATING BY THE WORD - When your desire has conceived through your imaginative power you must bring your desire into form with your words. When God created the world in the book of Genesis, he spoke words. Through words he planted seeds for plants/shrubs. However, these plants could only grow once it rained. The seeds had to be watered. Oyakhilome states that the water that will bring your desires into being are your confessions. Continued confessions will eventually bring your desires into being.
4)THE PRAYER OF THE CREATIVE HUMAN SPIRIT - Oyakhilome explains that creation is done in your spirit. As the word is spoken, it turns your imagination into reality. However, reality is not tangible. It means that whatever is created through the process of imagination and speaking forth is real but not physical. It is real but cannot be seen or touched in the natural. The creation is in the spirit realm. Therefore, this spirit creation needs to be brought into the natural so that we can see and touch it. This is where prayer comes in. Whilst in prayer God will give you the practical ideas that will help you to bring the things created in the spirit realm into the material/natural world.
In summary, the Holy spirit gives us the power/ability to recreate our world. Our imaginative power is our creative ability. Positive confessions/words spoken in relation to our imaginations cause the creation of the things we desire however, at this point they are spiritual creations. The translation of these creations from the spirit to the material world requires consistent and continuous prayer. Hence, you can change anything in your life. With Recreating Your World it is possible to have a victorious 2013. This is a highly recommended book for study and life application.
