    About this ebook

    Truth can never be threatened. Not by man, not by methods, not even by modernity. There is no new thing under the sun. Knowledge has increased but truth is unaffected. The filth of the past is the gold of the present.
    In spite of all these perplexities, a single honesty is enough publicity for Truth and it is sufficient to withstand the flood of new thought. No matter how much vanity engulfs mankind, there will always be a remnant, a small number that cannot sell their conscience.
    Shift your thought as you reflect on discipline, character and purpose.

      What people are saying about Thoughtshift

      This is not just another book on the shelf. It’s one of the great difference makers. Thoughtshift is about great and impactfull positive change we all need.

      We understand, through faith, that what we see are not made of the things which do appear. All we see today has its root in thoughts.

      Nothing wields much power as that of a thought! Nothing in all of life an arrest, imprison or set a man or a nation free as much as a thought. Thoughtshift is about a revolution that commands change in you and makes you a change agent!

      Pastor Saheed Ogunsola

      Pastor of Zone 1,

      RCCG GOSHEN Lekki,

      Lagos, Nigeria

      A great read that will most likely activate its title, upon completion, in the mind of the reader. It is a challenger read that has the capacity to melt minds of steel; one that can have its place in the mind and life of every reader. It is, in its own way, a summarized character builder and checker that could be a modern day expression of how An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge."—Proverbs 18:15.

      When the Bible says For wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; (Proverbs 2:10), Thoughtshift is one of such channels of wisdom and knowledge. I will read this book many times over."

      Acknowledgments

      No one can claim complete authorship of a single work. Men have poured into us as we are also pouring into others. I have a duty to acknowledge people and institutions that have been instrumental in my journey into writing and eventually into publishing.

      Pastor Joe-Jesimiel Ogbe

      For his courage in starting Young Disciples International (YDI) where, as a teenager, I got inspired to be excellent.

      Mr. Abraham Oshoko

      For his consistency in showing exemplariness in life and pursuits which is obvious in his recent work on June 12.¹

      Mr. Femi Odugbemi

      For his deep affection for originality and his great anticipation for the release of this book.

      Pastor Saheed Ogunsola

      For his pastoral wisdom, confidence and contributions to this book project.

      Mr. Gbile Akanni

      For the depth of his convictions and his strong biblical teaching that has shaped my own understanding of the Christian life.

      Mr. Femi Thomas

      For his kind friendship and our fellowship of biblical convictions.

      And several other men who continue to inspire me and my way of thinking… Ravi Zacharias, John Piper, John MacArthur, Zac Poonen, Al Mohler etc.

      As a man compassed about with such a great cloud of witnesses, I remain under the watch of these faithful men, who also are pressing ahead for their own lives, families and nations.

      Dedication

      Dedicated to OluwaYemisi Cindy Opeyemi

      A wife is the only one who can inflict the deepest wound on her husband due to the leverage of proximity. To have had unrelenting encouragement from her in spite of circumstances is the greatest terrestrial incentive a man can ever have. This speaks of my wife. I am glad about the eternal oracles: Enjoy life with your beloved wife during all the days of your fleeting life that God has given you on earth during all your fleeting days; for that is your reward in life and in your burdensome work on earth.²

      Foreword

      THOUGHTSHIFT-You can eat your cake and have it is an interesting thoughtful book that is engaging for its practical understanding of the limitless capacity of each of us to determine for ourselves a destiny beyond the reality of our circumstance. A message I believe is of particular interest to this generation.

      Olamide is a deep thinker… like the Cicero of old; he brings to the consciousness of this young generation the power of mind over matter. How think becomes things.

      Our capacity to visualize change in our lives and bring to reality by faith is the greatest gift of God that we received when He declared Let us make man in our own image. When God said let there be light in Genesis 1, we can safely assume He knew what light looked like because He had thought it, visualized it
