NOW YOU ARE SAVED - GUARD YOUR HEART WITH ALL DILIGENCE

in #steemchurch5 years ago

Our heart (mind) is one central point where all the entries and influences into the human spirit and body converge. This makes the heart a one important part of the human that is so delicate and deserves much care.

In the book of Proverbs, its 23rd chapter and7th verse admonishes us that we are a product of what we think in our hearts (Proverbs 23:7). Jesus also said that a man is only able to “bring forth good deed” in his life if he is able to fill his heart first with good treasure!

Thus, we cannot over-emphasize the importance of this pat of man!

Proverbs 4: 23:

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

Having being born again, God admonishes us that we guard our heart with all diligence. TO guard means to protect from harm. It is pertinent to note that there are some things which are purposed to destroy the heart of man or corrupt the good treasures therein. This is why the guarding of our heart becomes so crucial.

The Gateways to the heart

having to guard the heart implies that there are openings to which intruders can reach our hearts: eyes, ears, ... Literally, all body senses are possible input devices to the heart. This is because these senses connect us to our environment and the way er respond matters a lot.

What Are You Seeing and /or Hearing?

To be able to guard what enters your heart, one must be conscious to guard what comes through the ear and eye gates! By implications, if all the bad news on television or the Internet is causing you to despair, disbelieve God or sin, then you must turn your attention to something else that will edify and grow your faith in God.

Moreover, if the people you hang out with are speaking fear, doubt and cynicism into you, be careful to turn from them to those who will help you build your faith. Remember, evil companion corrupts good manners. Be careful to chose kingdom friends who are faith-filled.

Just as fear is contagious, so is faith!

This message came to you to encourage you to store up good treasures from the Lord in your heart so you will be able to bring forth good things.

Again! Remember Proverbs 4: 23:

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.


A Call to Action

In Romans 10: 9 -10, the scripture points to action that can be taken to unravel this mystery and enjoy this newness of life.

  • By believing in our heart that God raised Jesus Christ from death makes us right with God;
  • By only confessing Jesus as our Lord saves you from all our sins.

If you've not yet believed that God raised Jesus from the dead and you've not yet confesses Him as your Lord, you can do it NOW!

God bless you.

Hebrews 2:3
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

We must fight the good fight of faith and keep the faith by guiding our hearts till he comes.
