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

  • Organization of effective prayer life

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Prayer is a very important and necessary part of our spiritual life and can be compared to breathing, which is vital for our physical life. In other words, prayer is our spiritual breathing. The one who is not breathing is not alive. In the very same way, prayer is what makes us alive in spiritual sense. Thus, without prayer we are spiritually dead. This year we have talked a lot about serving God, and it is very important as well. We need to serve God! We need to serve people! But we will never be effective in our ministry to God and people without effective prayer.Remember it!

  • Cooperation with God

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    When we continually pray and worship God, then our main desire is doing the will of God. Many prayers remain unanswered by God, because these prayers have a wrong foundation and demonstrate wrong priorities. For example, you may pray for a person with some serious problems. And you ask God to remove his or her problems or to solve them. At the same time you know that even if the answer to this prayer comes, the problems might return, since the cause of them has not been removed. That is why when Paul prayed he always asked for the people to learn the will of God and have a desire to do His will and be fruitful.

  • God loves you but do you love God?

    One of proofs of your love for God is to love those whom He loves. You know that God loves the Church of Jesus Christ, and that He also loves the lost people (who have not yet come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ). How your love for God is reflected in your attitude towards the church and unbelievers around you?Do you have the passion to see His church grow and to advance the values of the Kingdom of God through His Church Do you have the passion to see His lost sheep brought back to his fold?

    The Bible teaches that the beginning of wisdom is the fear of God.Until the fear of God is in place, there can’t be any Access to the Spirit of wisdom and revelation from God. The God type of wisdom that makes your face to shine in the dark seasons of life and make your star brighter despite the unfavorable circumstances of life, results from the fear of God.

  • When we pray, invisible chains that bind people suddenly fall off! II

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    You may ask why people act the way they act? Why don’t people sometimes understand very elementary things? Why do people hear the truth, but do not change? There are invisible things that keep people in bondage. There are strongholds that cannot be destroyed by teaching, sermons, instructions and lectures. They are spiritual things. What happens when the church prays? These strongholds collapse and some real changes take place. We cannot afford not to pray and try to admonish other people; usually people listen to us, say that they understand, but do the same thing all over again.
