WHAT IS AN ASSET

According to the English standard dictionary, an asset is something or someone of value, something or someone able to produce value. Someone may be thinking, is he trying to talk about business ?, the answer is yes but in this case kingdom business. What is the most valuable asset of the kingdom, and of a believer or of man ? It is the Heart. You may wonder how the heart can be the most precious asset. The heart is the beginning of our experience with divinity,it is the transaction ground for all kingdom matters, the platform were God relates and communicates to man,it is Gods key to everyman, the platform were kings are made, it is the most longed after jewel of the father (God), it is that entity through which value is added to humanity, it is the engine that kicks start us and enables us impact our world.

Our walk of faith begins solely from the heart. For with the HEART man believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:10. The heart is that asset that guarantees every successful and productive walk with God. God told his children And it shall come to pass if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which i shall command you this day, to love the lord your God, and to serve him with all your HEART and with all your soul. His relationship with his people was to be ventured into with a heart connection and not just a mind or mouth basis. God in his creative ability invented the heart of man and he constructed this asset in such a way that it is the author of every mans true image. On this note he has always related with us on a heart to heart basis, He understands that man is a total replica of the activities that goes on within his heart. No man is different from the construct and belief system of his heart. A certain scribe ones asked Jesus, which is the first and greatest commandment of all ? And the master replied And thou shall love the lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul , and with all your strength; this is the first commandment mark 12:30. This was the first and greatest of commandment God gave because he wanted the best of man, his Heart.little wonder it came first before all others. Many a believer think they will do greatly and have a beautiful relationship with God because they go to church or they read their bibles, as good as doing these things are they can testify that this is not the case. One only enjoys his relationship with God when his heart is given to Him, when his/her heart is connected to the heart of the father. No man pleases the father by his actions alone or by his countenance but first from his heart, for the lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the lord looketh on the heart .1 samuel 16:7.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU CONCEIVE

Every man is a true reflection of what he conceives and nurses in his heart. You may have taught you are what you are because of where you were born or because of what you have gone through or probably as a result of what someone did to you or said to you. But i make bold to tell you that it is untrue. YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU CONCEIVE IN YOUR HEART. The scriptures clearly stated for as he thinks in his heart, so is he. Proverbs 23:7
You are a product of what goes on within you, nothing comes to light until it is first conceived in the heart, failure and success begins from the heart, maturity and mediocrity begins from the heart, greatness , foolishness, wisdom and all forms of achievement begins from the heart. what ever you cannot conceive, you cannot produce. You cannot produce love until you conceive it, you cannot produce faith until you conceive it, you can produce success until you conceive it, you cannot be an entrepreneur until you conceive it, you cannot be a great husband or a great wife, until you conceive it. It all begin from the heart, you will never go above what your heart thinks and believes , i repeat you will never go above what your heart thinks or believes. For all you have ever wished to become , they sure will remain wishes until you conceive them. A woman only gives birth to a child after she conceives it. You can be the greatest in the world , you can be the best CEO, you can be the best guitarist, the best singer the best performer, the best of husbands or wives, you can be the best of all you have ever aspired to be, Only conceive it and get on with it. Even God cannot deliver anything to you until you believe and conceive it, But let him ask in faith not wavering, For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think he will receive anything of the lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. James 1:6-8

You produce what you conceive for the scripture saith, A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth good things; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth evil things. O generation of vipers, how can ye being evil speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Matthew 12:34-35 and also For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts,murders,adulteries, fornications,thefts, false witness, blasphemies.Matthew 15:19. Many are quick to say i did it because i was tempted or i said it because i was provoked. The truth is for everything unloving and inhumane thing we do or say, we do it and say them because it was always within us, something or someone just triggered it and there went the missile. You cannot produce what you haven't conceived.

YOUR HEART IS AN ASSET: GUARD IT

Keep your heart with all diligence for out of it, are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23
The heart is the is the only part of our being we were instructed to guard because it is our most valuable asset. It is our responsibility to keep our heart from negative influence , thought contrary to the will and ways of God, ideas and suggestions and opinions capable of ruining our fellowship with God, blurring and suffocating our vision , ambitions ,goals and aspirations. The greatest investment you will ever make is your in heart. Invest in your heart as the result will be unarguably glaring, invest in your heart through the word of God, books and materials capable of repositioning you for tremendous achievements. The apostle Paul told the young bishop timothy,Meditate upon these things; give thyself (heart) wholely to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

NOTE: YOU ARE A COMPLETE REPLICA OF WHAT GOES ON WITHIN YOUR HEART.

When i say heart in this case, i don't mean the instrument pumping blood in your chest, i mean the real you. ***But let it be the hidden man of the HEART, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God of GREAT PRICE.
