"Not Yet Done With You" by John Gaitho
John Gaitho, a good friend of mine and the author of the inspiring book "Not Yet Done With You," shares a powerful message about the importance of maintaining a positive mindset in the journey of life. His book reminds us that both success and failure begin in the mind, and by focusing on positivity, we can transition from being victims to victors.
This is not just a motivational statement—it is a truth supported by God’s Word. Let us explore the key themes of John Gaitho’s message and how they align with scripture.
1. Success and Failure Begin in the Mind
John states, "All success and failure start from our minds." This truth is echoed in the Bible, which emphasizes the power of our thoughts and their influence on our lives.
Scripture Reference:"For as he thinks in his heart, so is he."— Proverbs 23:7 (NKJV)
Our thoughts shape who we are and determine the direction of our lives. If we focus on negativity, fear, and doubt, we will struggle to succeed. But when we align our thoughts with God’s truth and promises, we position ourselves for victory.
Philippians 4:8 encourages us to keep our minds focused on positivity:"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."
By renewing our minds daily with God’s Word, we can overcome the lies of the enemy and walk in the success God has planned for us.
2. Keep Your Mind Focused on Positivity
John highlights the importance of focusing on positivity to achieve success. This is not about ignoring challenges but about choosing to trust God and keep hope alive, even in difficult circumstances.
Scripture Reference:"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."— Romans 12:2
Renewing our minds with God’s promises allows us to see beyond our current struggles and focus on the victory that lies ahead. When we think positively and align our thoughts with God’s truth, we open the door for His blessings and guidance in our lives.
3. Becoming a Victor, Not a Victim
John’s book emphasizes the importance of adopting a victor’s mindset rather than a victim’s mindset. This is a powerful reminder that, through Christ, we are overcomers.
Scripture Reference:"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."— Romans 8:37
With God on our side, we are not defined by our failures or circumstances. Instead, we are empowered to rise above them and walk in victory.
Isaiah 41:10 offers encouragement for those who feel like victims:"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
By trusting in God’s strength, we can overcome any obstacle and live as victors in Him.

Closing Scripture:"I can do all this through him who gives me strength."— Philippians 4:13
No matter where you are in life, remember that God is not yet done with you. Keep your mind focused on Him, and He will lead you to victory.
