Devotion: Guard your heart

Proverbs 4:20-25 My 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. Put away from you a deceitful mouth, And put perverse lips far from you. Let your eyes look straight ahead, And your eyelids look right before you.

Mount a guarding gate and filter what comes in to your spirit and mind.Ensure your attend to the Word and keep your heart and mind from the rubbish and foolish stories, jokes, events, photos and related issues that can program you to think negative.

Avoid people that love to gossip about others because they will ruin your spirit and mind and make you start thinking negatively about others. Avoid books, magazines, TV shows, radio programs that can give you a negative picture of yourself or negative picture of some good people elsewhere.

Phi 4:8 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.

Your mind should not be a dumping place for every rubbish things that happen around. Make a decision to free your mind by ensuring that you hear, see and read things that are pure, are lovely, are of good report; have virtue, and there is praise in them.

That will program your life for success and victory.

Stick to the Word of God and let the Word dwell in you richly to program you for success and victory.Col 3:16 “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.”

Additional scripture: Pro 23:7 “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.”
