GUARD YOUR HEART WITH ALL DILIGENCE

“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Proverbs 4:23. KJV


You can start off today in your business and few months after, it appears you are not making progress and the prophetic word spoken over your life seems challenged. That is not the time to say, “I thought it would work” because that is exactly what the devil wants you to say. God’s Word works. 

The devil cannot undo in time what God has perfected in eternity concerning your life. The Word has already gone ahead. So whatever the devil is doing, he has come too late. You will make it. I don’t know where you are right now in your Christian race, in your business, your profession or in your personal life. But one thing I can assure you, as you listen and obey the Word of God, pretty soon people will be wondering whether you are the one.


One thing you must do is to keep your heart with all diligence. It is what you allow to lodge in your heart that defiles and thereafter hinders manifestation. You will be provoked and sometimes people might even deprive you of your rights. Still, keep your heart because your heart determines your destination! The issues of life flow from the heart. The enemy can come through people and say, “you are a woman, yet you have been barren for years. Are you sure you are not a man?” At such moments, you need to guard your heart. Keep on believing and smiling because you will disappoint their expectations. 

This year is pregnant with miracles. Medical reports will be overruled by God. The things that hitherto have been tough to receive will manifest speedily. No power shall be able to hinder what God has already planned for your life. Whatever obstacle that is standing in your pathway is coming down. You need to guide your heart  because it determines what comes out of your mouth. What is in your heart is what you will say. And what you decree is what you get.
