IT BEGINS FROM YOUR SPIRIT FRIDAY~15TH~NOVEMBER~2013 WITHPASTOR ANITA OYAKHILOME Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.(Proverbs 4:23) Often in the scriptures, heart is used in lieu of spirit and the reason is clear. Just as the physical heart is the operational centre of the human body, so also the spirit is the controlling centre of human existence. Everything about your life actually originates from your spirit. Success or failure, wealth or poverty, excellence or mediocrity will emanate from a mans spirit. Your mind is the door to your spirit. Thats why whatever words and thoughts you allow to go through your mind, unchecked, will be deposited in your spirit. This is the reason you have to sift what goes through your mind to your spirit. Every day, we hear words, see things, and receive all kinds of information, positive and negative alike. Youre required to mount guard on your heart and not allow your spirit receive and process the wrong information. If, for example, you heard that theres trouble in the economy or that recession is setting in, and theres hardship everywhere, dont be perturbed, because youre not of this world. Refuse to process such negative information; dont dwell on it. Rather, you should say, I refuse to fret or be anxious, because I function in the realm of superabundance. Im an heir of God and a joint heir with Christ. I function above the economies and economics of this world. If you give wrong thoughts access into your heart, theyll instil fear in you. So, keep vigilant watch over your heart. Embrace only thoughts of success, victory, health, prosperity, happiness and fulfilment that come from Gods Word. PRAYER Dear Father, I thank you for your Word that gives me the right information to think and meditate upon; your Word continually finds its home in my heart, is effectual and effective in me, and produces everything it talks about, in Jesus Name. Amen. F U R T H E R S T U D Y: Luke 6:45(KJV) 45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. Luke 6:45(AMP) 45 The upright (honorable, intrinsically good) man out of the good treasure [stored] in his heart produces what is upright (honorable and intrinsically good), and the evil man out of the evil storehouse brings forth that which is depraved (wicked and intrinsically evil); for out of the abundance (overflow) of the heart his mouth speaks. Philippians 4:8(KJV) 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8(AMP) 8 For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].
