The Little Engine that Could

Have you read the story of the little engine that could?
The story of the train that can because he thinks he can. He thinks he can over and over again. It is a powerful story, but it is also a kid’s book. Here are some things you can think as you chug and chug and think through life.

Word Power:

This is called word power. If you are a Christian, you can use these word power statements. They are bible verses that are written in a paraphrased first person form.

Vision:

I praise God for everything.

In Christ, I am of extreme value.

I have Christ’s authority over all the enemy’s power.

Christ’s stripes heal me.

God provides for all my needs.

God so loved me that he gave.

Eternal life is a free gift.

Character:

I honor Christ with every part of my body.

I am a joint heir with Christ.

I can endure all things through Christ.

I wear the full armor of God.

I serve others: I do not expect them to serve me.

Skills:

I bring every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.

I trust and obey God in everything.

I fix my thoughts on what is good.

I have set my mind on things above.

I serve Christ in the workplace.

I only think about the good things in others.

I live Christ’s live on purpose, not by accident.

I hide God’s Word in my heart.

Elevating Value:

These are powerful statements for someone who follows God. If you do not follow God, you will have to keep following the kid’s book method. I think I can…. I think I can….

Follow God and the Bible and you can elevate the value of whatever you do.
The word statements above are from the Mentoring His Way Series. These books are great for one on one mentorship.
