*Guard Your Heart*

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23.

The heart referred to in our opening text is not the one that pumps blood; it talks about the mind. The mind of a man is as powerful as the one who possesses it. The imaginations and thoughts that run through your mind are determining factors of who and what you become.

 It is therefore of utmost importance to pay good attention to them. How far you go in life is determined by how far your mind can see. The kinds of words you hear and speak have a huge impact on your mind.

 Feed your mind with God’s word only as all you need for life and destiny is in it. Deliberately take charge of what enters your mind. When you surround yourself with the things of God, it becomes impossible for the enemy to find a foothold. As a child of God, the friends you hang out with also affect your heart.

 Little wonder Apostle Paul said that evil communication corrupts good manners. When thoughts that are alien to God’s come your way, counter them with the word of God in your mouth.

Do not be quiet or silent about it because the gateways to your mind are your eyes and ears. Sternly refuse any thought suggested to you by the devil as he has no rights over your mind. You choose what you want to think about.

Additional Scriptures: Proverbs 23:7a, Proverbs 14:30, Proverbs 31

*Confessions: I guard my heart with all diligence and I do not give the devil alliance in my life. Amen.*

Operating The Honour System In Marriage

Hi friend, Thank you for stopping by to read. If you are new here, you are welcome to rounded beauty (you may want to read the previous posts to catch up......and that will help, really). If you have been here before, thank you too. We’re double sure you were blessed by our posts. Now let’s get into today’s business. The last time here, we spoke about God’s intention for marriage. If God has a really great purpose He intended marriage to fulfil, then we’d better learn how to partner with Him to fulfil it. Did you know that every instruction of God to man doesn’t improve Him? The obedience of man doesn’t make God better neither does man’s disobedience make Him worse. He is God. Nothing or no one changes Him. Isn’t it amazing to know that our response to God actually affects us? This knowledge is very important as it helps us align ourselves with God’s will for us. A marriage that will work well and produce the fruit of destiny fulfilment MUST have both partners practise...

*Illumination Devotional* *Pastor Jide Ojo* *26th October, 2017* *Mind Your Imagination* For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2nd cor 10:3-5, Our above text says to cast down imaginations and bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. This means there are thoughts and imaginations that are against the knowledge of God. They are anti-new life images and thoughts. Here Paul shows the primary tool that the devil uses against believers-thoughts and imaginations and this is because the state of our minds determines the expression of our spirit. Believers are to mind their minds so as to express the realities of the divine life. Ephesians 6:16 says the way to...

And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.  Colossians 4 vs 17 Ministry is God working through man; it’s not man working apart from God neither is it God working apart from man. It is very important therefore to know that the strength and character of God seen in a man is not solely the responsibility of God but the responsibility of God and man. To this end, Paul wrote to Archippus a direct instruction which is worthy of note. That instruction is our opening scripture. Looking at the instruction, we need to break it into three: Take heed to the ministry The ministry that you have received in the Lord That you may fulfil it. Ministry doesn’t fulfil itself, it is fulfilled by man. Every man walking the path of the accomplishment of God’s assignment is expected to be responsible and accountable to God for all that He has received from Him. Apostle Paul said to Archippus to get into the assi...
