Men of different spirit

       Is lion the smartest animal in the jungle? I guess the snake is more canning. The Heaviest? I over heard hippo is about 50-times heavier than the lion. Is it the fastest? ooh No, cheetah beats it in a race. You know it isn't the tallest, giraffe is. but what makes it the King of the Jungle?

    Something that cannot be seen with naked eyes makes it stand out, its impossible to assume the lion, whatever makes it the king of the jungle beats height, wisdom, strength, speed name it. it cannot be compared with what the lion possess..

    I'm amazed that even God the creator of heaven and earth, likens Himself to a Lion, The LION OF JUDAH, and this makes me desire to understand whats in a lion, He created me in His own Image and likeness, I have to learn whats in a lion.

    When a Lion meets an elephant, what does it see? isn't it afraid of height? weight? size? I guess so.. but it sees "lunch''. It isn't intimidated by its size and height, or anything that the elephant possess.
within itself it says this a good lunch for my family..

    On the other hand the elephant looks at the small cat and sees an "eater" it believes so much that its lunch to the small cat.. and so it becomes. as a man thinks ...?.... so he is. its scriptural..

    The difference between the two animals is how they think, or rather their attitude.. the smallness or greatness we feel comes from within us, the outside factors triggers the inner greatness or smallness, irrespective of how advantageous we are until we change our attitudes we remain limited to what we think and believe.

    There were these twelve guys sent by Moses to spy the promised land for forty days and bring back the results. that's in Numbers 13.. they came with fruits of the lands. here is a report of ten of the twelve spies

   Num 13:27- And they told him, We came to the land to which you sent     us; it flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. yet the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large; and besides, we saw the descendants of Anak there(Giants).
Verse 30: But Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and occupy it; for we are well able to overcome it." 31: then the men who had gone up with him said "we are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we."

   I ask ain't the Elephant stronger than than the Lion? it is. but the Lion maintains the attitude its well able to get lunch out of it.
     Maintain your positive attitude. The main thing is what you believe. Your attitude. You are well able. isn't about your strength, do you believe you can do it? get it?achieve it? do you have faith? you can make it. irrespective of all your flaws you don't have to be intelligent, strong, educated, fast learner, just change your attitude.

   This what God says about Joshua and Caleb who believed they would possess the land. all the others wouldn't make it to the promised land

    Num 14:24 But my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and has followed me fully, I will bring to the land into which he went and his descendants shall possess it.

    You are created to dominate the earth even the jungle, you better be better or rather have a better attitude than the lion haha..

     Desire to be a man of different spirit/attitude.
     Blessings.
