We will talk about\u00a0<strong>whether it is the circumstances of your life or the condition of your heart that determine the course of your life<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nWe mostly think that our destiny is determined by other people or how they act toward us. Or we think that destiny depends on the circumstances that surround us or things that happen around us. But it is not true, and God does not think that way! God knows that the circumstances in your life won\u2019t define your life. What people do or do not do to you cannot determine your life. Your destiny is defined by where your heart is. Thus, God tells us that we have to guard our hearts with all diligence.\r\n<h6>\u00abMy son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life\u00bb\u00a0(Proverbs, 4:20-23).<\/h6>\r\nGuard your heart with all diligence! Why is it so important? Because life flows out of the heart. That is the reason why it is so important to keep the right things in our hearts.\r\nIf we keep the Word of God in our hearts \u2013 and the Word contains the very life of God, &#8211; then the life of God will flow out of our hearts like streams of water. Even if get into unfavourable situations, the life of God will flow out of our hearts and change all the circumstances. It happens because the life that fills our hearts will press out all deadly and unfavourable situations that surround us.\r\nWhen people treat you badly, creating hindrances or humiliating you, it does not affect you if the Word of God fills your heart; this very Word will help you to walk in victory no matter what people intend to do against you or what circumstances you find yourself in.\r\nWhen unpleasant things happen in our lives we do not need to look for someone or something to blame \u2013 husband, wife, government, church, boss, weather, God, devil etc. We need to analyze the condition of our hearts. Instead of looking for someone to blame for the wrong things happening with us, let us check what flows out of our hearts and how we response to things. It is very important!\r\nPlease watch what fills your heart and what flows out of it!\r\nBe blessed!\r\n\r\nTill tomorrow!\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye\r\n\r\n&nbsp;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We mostly think that our destiny is determined by other people or how they act toward us.
