Guard Your Heart

Guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it comes issues of life. This is protective and instructive. Guard your heart from worries and anxieties of life. Guard your heart from problems and troubles. Guard your heart from failure. Guard your heart from human disappointments. Guard your heart from wrong attitudes. Guard your heart from bad companies. Guard your heart from wrong doctrines. Guard your heart from excuses. Guard your heart from procrastinations. Guard your heart from human misbehaviours. Guard your heart from misunderstandings. Guard your heart from blames and guiltiness. Guard your heart from wrong human assertions and superstitions. Guard your heart from errors and mistakes. Guard your heart from pressures of life. Guard your heart from evil thoughts and attacks. Guard your heart from economic instabilities. Guard your heart from sickness. Guard your heart from poverty. Guard your heart from wrong environment. Guard your heart from raging storms, human storms, environmental storms, physical storms, spiritual storms, emotional storms that trouble the mind and soul. For the fact that people are making noise around you does not mean anything, guard your heart. For the fact that people are misbehaving to you does not remove anything from your life, guard your heart. For the fact that nobody is helping you does not mean God has abandoned you, guard your heart. For the fact that your good is being repaid with evil does not mean you will not get your good rewards, guard your heart. For the fact that you have nobody to call your friend does not mean Jesus, the greatest friend has forsaken you, guard your heart. May the peace of God which surpasses all understanding garrison your hearts and minds through our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. What is the peace of God? The word of God, the Spirit of God, the blessings of God, the testimonies of God, the revelations of God, the anointing of God, the provisions of God, the power of God, the wisdom of God and everything you have access to in God which gives you comfort. Every provision of God is peace in your heart. And who or what shall ever separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? Just as it is written and forever remains written, “For Your sake we are put to death all day long; We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us]. For I am convinced [and continue to be convinced—beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Be Blessed.

Behold I Will Do A New Thing

God said, “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” Yes, that’s God, the father of all creation. He said he will do a new thing. If he will do a new thing, how? He does new things in diverse ways. But one of them is the one he does through our minds. Hear what the scripture says; This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. It’s a new covenant. God does new things when we renew our minds with his word. You can't live the life of Christ without having the mind of Christ. This involves every moment of our lives. It's a daily renewal. You won’t want to miss your package for any day, because they are always fresh and new. The mental renewal works out in our reasoning, thinking, studying, working, talking, relating with people, generating ideas, carrying out projects, planning, and other important things we do with our lives. Everybody likes new things, but not everybody does new things. If you are ready for new things, then let the word of God condition your mind. Let it form your thoughts. You will generate new ideas. You will do new exploits. I see you soaring higher and higher than before. Be Blessed.

Goals For The New Year

For as many of us that desire new things in the new year, my prayer is that may we achieve them all. Now, let's follow this carefully. Whatever we want to achieve can be achieved in as much as it does not disobey the right of another person. It's not enough to desire good things. But, it's necessary to know how to go about it to get result. It's not enough to talk, it's important to work. At first, you've got to be specific with what you want, if possible, write it down. That could be your goal/s or target. Then, draw out a plan on how to achieve it. You may want to give yourself reasons why what you want to achieve is important so that it can motivate you well enough. In your plan, you can draw out the algorithm- the step-by-step ways of achieving your goal. If you need to study more or make findings about it, go ahead and do that. Then, from your plan, you will know your responsibility, the resources required, and the time frame. If you don't have all the resources required at the beginning, you can make use of whatever you have in your capacity. As you start, your ‘working hands’ will attract the resources needed. The key point is 'to start'. Get into it. The new year has started already and before you know it, it has reached midyear and finally end of the year. You don't hope new things will happen when you sit down watching. You've got to work things out. Your mind is an important tool God has given you. Generate ideas in your mind, and work them out. Ideas don't attract resources in your mind, they attract resources in your hand. Bring your ideas to work, and you will see things working out for you this year. Be blessed …to be continued!
