HEART MATTERS

By -




Perhaps what we are all looking for is not worth the  search though we might feel it’s the answer to the question in our heart…yeah, this is worth said if not looking inward. When I mean inward-inward in actual sense of who we are in Christ, what He has provided for man especially we as believers. (Philemon 1 vs 6)

 Our walk in the scheme of things must be guarded by the framework of faith, and is important to know how to walk efficiently. Leadership is everywhere but true Leadership is found in Christ, he has given unto us all things pertaining to life and godliness; in this Leadership, the heart of man matters. (Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord ponder the hearts- Proverbs 21:2).

Grace to you and to your heart, peace from God our father and the lord Jesus Christ.
This is about leadership, not by the people, for the people, of the people but by Christ in us. We are destined leaders especially in our own sphere no matter how little. (Don’t despise your days of little beginning)

A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things (Matthew 12 vs 35)

This is just an encouragement or exhortation to guard your heart with all diligence, for that would at the end of the day be the criteria to fulfillment. You might think well, it’s just a small issue at the moment. Remember, little foxes spoil the vine: it’s about wholesome not part or major part! Little strife, little envy, little pride, little profanity, little less love, little bitterness, little by little they tend to pop up and eventually establish a place in your heart. Despite you identifying with Christ, Your heart matters in the scheme of things.

Keep thy heart with all diligence: for out of it are the issues of life (Proverbs 4 vs 24)
…But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart and they defile the man… (Matthew 15 vs 17-20)
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he… (Proverbs 23 vs 7a)

Your heart is the conception of thought. It’s in your heart, you think it! You think it, you either say it or do it! (Yeah..NIKE starts from the heart *smiles*). Even to love God, requires all your heart (Matthew 22 vs 37).

Take for example, the anointing of King David to lead the people of Israel, the heart was what mattered.

-But the lord said unto Samuel, look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature: because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man look on the outward appearance, but the lord looketh on the heart. (1 Samuel 16 vs 7)

David later became a King, a prophet, a warrior, a life changer and a man who understood the precept and statute of God

 Keep your heart, treasure what is pure and holy (Luke 12 vs 34), be careful for nothing, and above all, acknowledge all the good things in you in Christ. This transforms you to the leader you ought to be!

 Note: The greatest enemy of destiny is complacency –Steven Furtick. I agree not to disagree!

 Awake!!! (Romans 13 vs 11)

Peace to you and your HEART.

FAITH

By -
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.     Faith plays a significant role in our walk with God and the fulfillment of our destinies. This is so 'cos without faith, God's promises have no solid basis or foundation in our lives. Also, without faith in God, our will can't revolve around God's, and without this, it'll be impossible for our minds to have even a tiny conception of God's eternal glory and His will. Romans 10:17 says "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." And as we know, our mind processes information that comes through our ears. So unless our minds are(being) renewed to the mind of Christ, though the words come in, through our ears, they'll just sound like ordinary words. This is so because the sin nature is blocking the entrance of the words of faith. From this, you see that the result of what comes in through your ears depends on the level to which your mind has

LIVING AT PEACE

By -
   In my 2nd article, I wrote "your definition of peace shouldn't necessarily be that no trials or harm would come your way, but having an assurance that no matter what comes your way, God will always be there to see you through. I know that at this point in time, living a life filled with peace is not that easy due to the economic crisis, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, increase in  all sorts of crime and other things like that. But as true believers that shouldn't bother us, because God said in Psalm 91, summarizing, that "we will live a long and peaceful life"  so it's up to us to believe it. Living a peaceful life isn't something that's gonna happen automatically when we get born-again, we have to pray for it daily, without ceasing because the evil, being the ruler of this world, constantly has his eyes on true believers because they are a threat to his kingdom. And because the devil knows that...   1John 4:4  ...greater is HE that is

Don't Awaken Love

"Don't awaken Love until it pleases" Three times was this statement made in the book of Songs of Solomon (SOS 2:7, 3:5, 8:4) and I believe that statement needs to be echoed louder in this generation. Welcome to my generation where we want a quick fix,  instant noodles,  fast food,  even Fast and the furious- on a lighter note.  Although the rate of getting somethings done can be accelerated, this doesn't apply to Love. In other words,  Love needs time. Like a butterfly, Love is an organism that metamorphises on its own as the Creator fashioned it to be,  and it develops with Patience There's been an increase in the rate at which break-ups and divorce cases occur and I strongly believe it's tied to this simple reason, we awaken Love too early. See you can meet someone who's "God sent" but if you fan up the embers of Love too quickly, you'll end up doubting if the person was really "God sent" or the person was &qu
