How important it is to guard your heart because this is where the source of life flows from

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
Greetings to you, dear friends, on this wonderful day that the Lord has made!Already for several days now, we have been talking about how important it is to guard your heart because this is where the source of life flows from. In order for life to flow from us, we need to first be filled with this life. Bible tells us that Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life. Receiving Christ as your Lord and Saviour, we accept His life itself within us. But this life has to be constantly strengthened within us, and it is possible when we are filled with the Word of God. You yourself determine what you fulfil your heart with – the Word of God or this world’s system of values, holiness or sin, faith or fear. The Word of God brings faith, strength, and health into our lives. Walking in holiness allows us to see the manifestation of God’s power in our lives. Faith in God, based on the Word of God, connects us with God and His possibilities.Yesterday we talked a little about Joseph. It was the Word of God, with which Joseph had filled his heart that helped him stay strong in the fac of life’s adversities. The word of God in his heart helped him to overcome the treachery and lies of peopele against Joseph so that he was lifted to the heights which God had prepared for him. Joseph did not resign to the negative external conditions, which came into his life, he did not agree to swim in the current of these circumstances, but adopted the path associated with trusting on God and His Word. Joseph filled his heart and kept the Word of God there. God’s Word is alive, effective, and efficient, and is able to deliver to us victory over any problem and any obstacle. Nothing is impossible for the Word of God, because behind this Word, God Himself is standing in His power and majesty!Today let’s look at David’s life. David’s life was not an easy one at all. But David guarded his heart, filling himself with the Word of God. In Psalm 119, we read about how much David loved God’s Word.Here is what he said in verse 11
“I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” (Psalms 119:11).
David kept the Word of God in his heart. When Goliath appeared in his life, there was no fear in David’s heart. Why was he not afraid? Because his heart was filled with faith. And where did David’s faith came from? His faith came from the Word of God, with which he had filled his heart. Faith comes from listening to the Word of God. Some people listen to everyone and everything else but the word of God. No wonder they make wrong decisions and act in silly ways because of fear. This happens because in the absence of faith, fear has taken over their hearts.DDear friend, today I want you to see how important it is to keep the Word of God in your heart. If you do that, life will flow from you even in the midst of hard circumstances of life.Right now is the time we have to make sure we are keeping the Word of God in our hearts. Filling your heart with the Word of God when the problem or adversity comes – is too late. We must fill ourselves with the Word of God every day.How I wish that you love the Word of God as David loved it! In the Word of God, there are answers to all of your questions and solutions to all of your problems.Be blessed!Peace of God be with you! Until tomorrow!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    We continue talking about our role and function as God’s ambassadors on the earth. We’ve talked about the Bible calling us Christ’s ambassadors; God has sent us to encourage people to be reconciled with God. The Bible also calls us the salt of the earth and the light to the world. But if we as Christ’s ambassadors on earth do not actively practise our faith, then our society will deteriorate. Today, if we look at successful and prosperous countries, we can see the reason of their success and prosperity is because the people there embrace and practice Christian values. Only righteousness exalts a nation – Thai is a law, – God’s law. Only righteousness makes a nation prosperous! Injustice and sin destroy a nation.

    The principle of love protects our hearts, emotions and our life from injuries and bruises. Hatred, evil, betrayal, cruelty and lack of understanding among people will multiply at the last days. Jesus never sinned, while people back-bit Him anyway. But, how Jesus reacted to that back-biting? He never replied with back-biting, never tried to overcome evil with evil. He knew it would not work this way, quite opposite it would have increased the amount of evil, pain, emotional injuries and hatred in the life of a person who tries to overcome evil with evil.

    In order for me to change I need to follow Jesus. It means I need to follow and submit to His Word and His instructions. It means to spend time with Him to learn His heart and to participate in His mission. To follow Christ also means to imitate Him in all things. It means to react like He reacts, to speak like He speaks, to love what He loves and to hate what He hates.
