Protect Your Heart

Keep your heart with all diligence,

For out of it spring the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23 NKJV)

It’s so easy
To fall in love
But who are you
Really falling in
Love with
A mirage, fantasy or reality
Before you give
Your heart so easily
To another
Make sure the object
Of your affection
Loves you back
The heart is very
Special and priceless
And must not be
Given away so easily
To someone
Who will callously
Abuse it
And shatter it into
A million pieces

It makes no sense
To give your heart
To a fool
Treasure it and
Give it to the one
Who deserves it

An Opportunity

Art, Bible, Christian Faith, Home, Inspirational, light, Poems, Sorrow, The Word
An Opportunity

When the enemy comes in like a flood,

The Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him (Isaiah 59:19 NKJV)

When sorrow comes
Like a flood
We must see this as
An opportunity to
Be steadfast in
Loving Christ
And rejoicing in Him
Who has the power to crush
Sorrow.
It is an opportunity
To pray and depend
On God.

When our enemies come
Against us
He who destroys
With the breath of
His mouth
Will lift up a standard
Against them
And destroy them.

Sorrow is never pleasant
And God does not
Want us to be in sorrow
However, because we
Are human, we are
Not immune to it
God feels our pains
And sorrows
And will finally wipe
Out all sorrows
At the end of time.

“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4 NKJV)

Now that we are
Still in time
We can overcome
Sorrow by constant
Prayer and an attitude
Of constant joy
And delighting in Christ
For His blood that
Set us free
Through thanksgiving, praise
And worship
It is in prayer, praise
And worship
That He manifests

Pleasing Him

Art, Bible, Christian Faith, Holiness, Home, Inspirational, light, The Word
Pleasing Him

finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. (Ephesians 5:10 NKJV)

Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. (Ephesians 5:17 NKJV)

Knowing God’s will and how to please Him is the ultimate way to live the life in the Spirit. Without knowledge of what pleases God, we will not know how to worship Him. God sent His son to show us the way to His heart.

If we make it our goal to find out what pleases the Lord, we will know Him. Knowing Him will in turn make us do great exploits for Him.

The Lord Is Mighty

Art, Bible, Christian Faith, Home, Inspirational, light, Pictures, Power, The Word
The Lord Is Mighty

And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church (Ephesians 1:22 NKJV)

He will change our weak mortal bodies and make them like his own glorious body, using that power by which he is able to bring all things under his rule. Philippians 3:21)

Who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand–with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him. ( 1 Peter 3:22)

The Lord is Mighty
He rules supreme
Above every power
The waves
And winds
Obey Him
Death bows in
Awe of Him
Angels fall
Prostrate
Before Him

The Lord is mighty
Kings perish from
His rebuke
His breath destroys evil
Demons quake and
Quiver at His presence
The mountains melt
In fear of Him
And sicknesses flee
At His name

The Lord is mighty
He deserves all the praise
Honor, thanksgiving and adoration
May we never cease to praise Him
Because He is mighty.

Love All The Time

Art, Bible, Christian Faith, Home, Inspirational, light, Scripture, The Word
Love All The Time

But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you (Matthew 5:44 NKJV)

And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? “Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect (Matthew 5:47 – 5:48 NKJV)

But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. “And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same (Luke 6:32 – 6:33 NKJV)

Love all the time
When it’s difficult
And when it’s hard

Love all the time
When the sun rises
And when the sun sets
When it’s raining
When the sun is at its peak
And when it’s dry

Love all the time
Through pain and disappointment
Accepting the flaws of others
And overlooking hurt
And insults
And weaknesses

Love always
Without conditions
And expectations
Because
That is how Christ loved us
He loved us
Even with our
Weaknesses, imperfections
And ingratitude

The greatest love is truly revealed
When the recipient
Of that love
Has nothing to offer
And can’t pay us back
Even the pagans
Love those who love them.

Wall Of Fire

Art, Bible, Christian Faith, Grace, Holy Spirit, Home, Inspirational, Power, Scripture, The Word
Wall Of Fire

For I,’ says the LORD, ‘will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.’ ” (Zechariah 2:5 NKJV)

And the LORD, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.” (Deuteronomy 31:8 NKJV)

And of the angels He says: “Who makes His angels spirits And His ministers a flame of fire (Hebrews 1:7 NKJV)

And the power of the Lord was present to heal them (Luke 5:17 NKJV)

Imagine a wall of fire all around you to protect you always. Glory! This an awesome promise from our God. Fire is the manifest presence of God that consumes all evil and that promised fire is the best gift of all. Jesus promised us that we will be baptised with the Holy Ghost and fire. This fire is the Holy fire that consumes all evil. It is pure, undiluted holy power. It is the fire that heals the sick and forces demons to tremble, bow and flee.

If we believe that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him then , we have faith to approach the throne of grace for this fire. That is all we need to be super victorious as believers and ministers. Those who crave this fire and are hungry for this fire will be baptised and surrounded by fire.

And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night (Exodus 13:21 NKJV)

Then he said to Him, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here (Exodus 33:15 NKJV)

If the great men of old including our Lord Jesus, needed this fire to be protected and victorious, we also need fire. We need to keep praying with faith and persistence until we are transformed into fire and become flames of fire.

Bold As A Lion

Art, Bible, Christian Faith, Holiness, Home, Inspirational, The Word
Bold As A Lion

The wicked flee when no one pursues,

but the righteous are bold as a lion.

(Proverbs 28:1 ESV)

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV)

Peace and faith are fruits of the Holy Spirit. When the Bible talks of sound mind it is talking about a mind that is not ravaged by fear.

The more we cleanse and purify our hearts by Holiness and meditating on the word of God, the more we attract the mind of Christ.

The mind of Christ is pure. The mind of Christ is the word of God and it is seven times purified. We must make conscious effort not to dwell on our negative circumstances and our problems.

We must replace that habit by meditating on the greatness of God and the littleness of our problems. We must refuse the see giants. Giant is an evil report, negative circumstances and our problems are evil reports.

They are there quite alright but we must choose to see God and His greatness in what He had done on the Cross and what He can do from His throne of grace where we approach with faith to experience mercy in our time of need.

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy – meditate on these things. (Philippians 4:8 NKJV)

Meditating on evil reports and worldly superstitions will always breed fear. Sin also breeds fear because the Spirit man knows what the head does not know.

The Spirit man of a wicked man knows that all that is left for him is fiery judgement and hell even though the head of the wicked man does not believe in judgement.

Fear is judgment and judgement is fear. Fear has to do with punishment, it is destruction of the mind. With fear, the mind now functions contrary to God’s original design. After Adam sinned, he was afraid and hid from God.

The cure to fear is the word of God and holiness.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord (Colossians 3:16 NKJV)

It is only when the word of God is dwelling richly in us that we will become righteous and bold as a lion.

The Ends Of The Earth

Art, Bible, Christian Faith, Home, Inspirational
The Ends Of The Earth

Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. (Psalm 2:8 ESV)

You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask (James 4:2 NKJV)

Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. (1 John 5:14 NKJV)

What a wonderful scripture and what a wonderful God. It is very important for us to remember that we must ask. No matter how much we confess and declare we must also ask.

The Bible commands this. Supplication is very important because it is a display of humility and confidence in Him who can do what no man can do.

God Himself has promised to give us the ends of the earth for our inheritance so nothing must hold us back. We must persist and persevere until we experience His grace and mercy.

Paul said, imitate me as I imitate Christ. Paul and Jesus both lived lives of prayer and supplication. If they could not neglect prayer, we also must not.

Prayer is the lifeblood of the Christian life.

His Word is Settled

Forever, O LORD,

Your word is settled in heaven. (Psalm 119:89 NKJV)

Forever
Your word will never change
You redeemed us
With your blood
And gave us laws
To guide our faith and victory
You sealed your covenant
And gospel
With your blood
Hallelujah
No contrary word
Will stand in our lives
Only the word of the Most High

Will stand

 

Lord
We cling to your word
Like air
Give us the grace
To wait upon you
And seek your face
With patience and prayer
Until your settled word and covenant
Comes to pass
In our lives
Amen
