Rhapsody of Realities Monday,October 27th Guard Your Heart Pastor Chris Oyakhilome PhD Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23). Everything God has planned concerning your life, everything youd ever become, is in your heart. Thats why He wants you to guard your heart with all diligence. That means you should carefully and conscientiously watch and guard what goes into your heart. Think about an orange seed; that seed carries all the potentials of an orange tree. When you place it in the right environment, itll produce roots, stem, branches, leaves, and finally several orange fruits, with many more seeds in them. Such extraordinary potentials are programmed into a little seed. Now, God tells you to diligently guard your heart because therere things that can come into your heart to change or destroy His programming of good and excellence in you. On the other hand, therere things that can come into your heart to enable, enhance, and sustain all the glorious things Hes already programmed into your life. Gods purpose in your life is programmed into your heart. Everything youd ever be, everywhere youd ever go, everything youd ever do to please God in your life, have all been programmed into your heart-your spirit-and He has given you the responsibility to do all thats necessary to keep your heart that way. Since Hes specific as to where youre to mount the guard, your heart, it therefore means the problems can come through thoughts. They can come through the senses and travel through your thoughts, because the mind is the doorway to the spirit. Consequently, any information thats going to come through your mind, must be scanned and filtered. If you allow the wrong information into your heart, youll live a different life from that which God has planned for you. This is how people go into crime, live terrible lives, and then try to blame others for their misfortune. Youre the constructor of your life. Gods programming in you is revealed by His Word. His Word in you will change and destroy any contray information, and prevent them from taking root in your heart. So, tend your heart; take charge of it with Gods Word! Refuse to accept thoughts and imaginations that are inconsistent with the nature, will and purpose of God. Prayers Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Im led and guided by your Word in all things and at all times. God has programmed my spirit for excellence and greatness, and as I stay on His Word, my life is regulated accordingly, in Jesus Name. Amen. F U R T H E R S T U D Y: Psalms 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Acts 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
