BIBLE STUDY: GUARD YOUR HEART AMN.PAT UNAJI
KEY STATEMENT: - ‘’ Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life’’ Proverbs 4:23 KJV.
Your mind is very critical to your existence. You must keep your mind busy and not allow it to become idle at any point. The bible says, ‘’ Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out it are the issues of life’’. I like the way the message translation of the bible puts it; ‘’ Keep vigilant watch over your heart, that’s where life starts’’. You cannot afford to leave your heart fallow. Each time you keep it unoccupied; the devil invest in it. He brings to you all that you thought you have forgotten; that is why you cannot let your guard down at any time. Child of God; forget the sins of your past; that case against you was settled, a long time ago.
Your heart is also vitally important; because it determines where you are going. It is what is in your heart that your mouth speaks and it is what you say that you get. Your words are very powerful; so, refuse to say the wrong things irrespective of what is happening around you. Keep your heart busy with God’s word. Say only the right things; speak your expectations. Speak where you are going to. The Shunnamite woman said to herself; it is well, even though her child laid dead at home. In her heart, she saw the child alive and well; and so she spoke what was in her heart and not what her condition was saying to her.
Child of God, start today to think productive thoughts. The scriptures says; ‘’ finally brethren, whatsoever things are true; whatsoever things are honest; whatsoever things are pure; whatsoever things are lovely; whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, if there be any praise, think of these things’’ ( Philippians 4:8).
As you think about these things, they form pictures of good things in your heart and that is what your mouth will naturally speak about.
