Thoughts of guilt are thoughts of condemnation for wrongs done. Guilt holds you back , keeps you in the past, makes you sorry, sorrowful and ashamed. Guilt gives no healing but increases the pain. There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8 : 1 If you have received the forgiveness of your sins through Jesus Christ, you don't have to bear the guilt again. In whom (Jesus) we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:14 Catch the fox called guilt, don't allow it to hold you back from your harvest. Your harvest is here!

Pessimistic thinking is thinking and expecting the worst thing to happen. The widow said , "That I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it and die" 1Kings 17:12 . It is a fact that there are problems in the world, there is chaos , wars , famine , disasters , diseases and so on. But you can still be hopeful in the midst of hopelessness. Tune your mind from thinking of the worst to thinking of the best- A miracle is just by your doorstep. Catch the fox called pessimism, throw it out of your vine because your vine is blossoming already.

Inferiority thinking is thinking of oneself as low in value or quality. Seeing oneself as not the best thereby giving excuses. We are not able to go up... we were like grasshoppers in our own sight so we were in their sight. Numbers 13:32, 34. Thinking of yourself as low in value defeats the purpose of your assignment and it cheats you of the heights you can scale. Its time to change your thoughts towards yourself. Catch the fox called inferiority thinking, it will short change your harvest. Don't give it a chance,  your vine is tender.

Mediocre thinking is satisfactory thoughts with average quality or adapting your mind to situations opposed to excellence. Some men are born mediocres, some men achieve mediocrity and some have mediocrity thrust upon them. With majority, it had been all three- Joseph Heller. Stop thinking average!  Think big, think success, think excellence. After all, "The Lord will make you the head and not the tail, you shall be above only and not beneath." Deuteronomy 28:13 . If you can think it, He will make you. Catch the fox called mediocrity and throw it out of your vine. Your vine is about to produce some big harvest!

Thoughts of defeat are thoughts of loosing out in matters of life. Thoughts of defeat makes you plan towards your failure not your success. It makes you speak failure and expect it even if you have what it takes to succeed. "We are not able to go up against the people for they are stronger than we." Numbers 13:32   Are you thinking- "I am not able? Why not think " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philipians 4:13 Catch the fox called defeat. It can steal your harvest from you. Protect your tender vine that is about to yield its fruit.

Thoughts of worthlessness are thoughts of seeing yourself as useless and unimportant. Thinking of oneself as good - for- nothing or of no value. Thoughts of worthlessness hinders you from making efforts and taking steps and hinders your prayers from being answered. You must see yourself in your new state. You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people... 1Peter 2:9 Catch the fox called worthlessness. Don't give it the power to ruin your precious vine.
