MIND YOUR HEART
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
FRIDAY, 18TH MAY 2017
TOPIC: MIND YOUR HEART
SCRIPTURE: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee - Proverbs 23:7
MEMORY VERSE: Romans 12:2
DIGGING DEEP: There is a connection between who you are and your heart. Your thinking influences your living. Even in medicine it has been proven that when the heart is sick it affects the whole body and in many occasions it is detrimental to survival. Hence the condition of the heart has direct influence on our life.
What occupies your heart is what occupies your life. The realities of your life is a product of your heart.
Your heart coordinates your life. Your heart cannot be at work and your life won't be working. Nothing shrinks your life like a bad heart.
Many people were delivered from several yokes but still fall back to their vomit. It not because God has not done a thorough job on them but the failure to guard their heart is restricting the proof of what God has wrought in them. Beloved, bad habits are a product of the strongholds of the mind.
I once read a story of an adult elephant whose front leg is tied to a small rope and without chains nor cages it couldn't breakaway, it still remained on same spot. The trainer was asked and he said “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”
The strongest stronghold is that of your mind. There are many people who cannot receive great things from God because they have what I call small perception/reception syndrome. The capacity of their heart is small, their heart is shrinked to believe in small things only.
You can't make giant strides when you have a teeny heart. You cannot have a lion's heart and not rule in the jungle of this life. David went after the bear that took his sheep and removed it from it's teeth (1 Samuel 17:34) because he was strong at heart. What you can pursue is based on how powerful your heart is. If you have a daring heart you can overcome challenges in life.
Our anchor Scripture says that "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he..." Four implications of this is :
1.You can a times say it and not mean it but you can never think it and not mean it.
2. When your heart is involved your life is involved.
3. If you stop thinking, you start stinking. If you start thinking right your life will become alright.
4. You can revolutionize your life when you change the contents of your thoughts.
Finally, don't cripple your life by how you think. Because what you think becomes what you believe, what you believe determines what relieve you get. Whatever you can conceive and believe, you can achieve!
I pray for you any captivity of your mind is broken right now in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: O Lord, I refuse wrong thoughts in Jesus' name. I break free from any satanic habit that has formed strongholds in my mind in Jesus' name
