III"},"content":{"rendered":"Greetings to you, dear readers, on this wonderful day! God makes every day anew, and His mercy is new for us every morning!\r\n\r\nWe are talking about importance of our hearts being filled with God\u2019s Word that is full of grace and life of God.\r\n<h6>\u00abA good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things\u00bb\u00a0(Mathew, 12:35).<\/h6>\r\nIn Gospel of Luke, the same idea is expressed differently:\r\n<h6>\u00abA good man out of\u00a0<u>the good treasure of his heart<\/u>\u00a0brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks\u00bb\u00a0(Luke, 6:45).<\/h6>\r\nSome people continually blame others and their hearts are full of negative things, fear, insecurities. The reason is that they have allowed these things to enter their hearts and settle in. Whatever you let in, the same things also goes out.\r\n\r\nTherefore, it is very important to feed your faith by being filled with God\u2019s Word. If your heart is not full of God\u2019s Word, then in hard times you will have fear, unbelief, anger and vengeance coming out of your heart.\r\n\r\nNot long ago I received a letter from a very close person. He asked me to agree with him in prayer for God to send down fire and judgement on those that have been acting against him and hindering his success. Immediately I told him that I wouldn\u2019t pray for that. I told him that I would pray for his adversaries to live and see how God blesses him. David once said:\r\n<h6>\u00abYou prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over\u00bb\u00a0(Psalm 23:5).<\/h6>\r\nThat is the kind of prayer I like: that God would prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies so that they could see that nothing is able to stop the grace of God in my life. My enemies do not determine my destiny; it is God and my heart that does!\r\n\r\nOnce Jesus wanted to pass through one of villages of Samaria, but the people did not let him. Disciples offered Jesus to destroy these people by fire how it happened in the days of Elijah, when the prophets of Baal and the armed people that Ahab sent to arrest Elijah were destroyed. So the disciples based their actions on the Scripture. But Jesus told them that He was not sent to destroy people\u2019s lives, but to save them. Jesus asked His disciples what manner of spirit were they of if they wanted God to destroy their enemies. God calls us to love our enemies, to pray for them, to bless those that curse us, to feed them if they are hungry. So Jesus wanted His disciples to understand an important truth: their enemies are not strong enough to change their destiny.\r\n\r\nIf you guard your heart and fill it with God\u2019s Word then nobody will be able to change your destiny! There is nobody that can stop you!\r\n\r\nGuard your heart, because out of it flow the issues of life!\r\n\r\nTill tomorrow!\r\n\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00abA good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil.
