Proverbs 18:20 From the fruit of their mouth a person’s stomach is filled; with the harvest of their lips they are satisfied. The stomach is a sensitive organ of the body. What we feed our bodies must be healthy, nutritious, and sustaining. If the digestive system is unable to properly break down certain foods it will lead to symptoms like gas, diarrhea, and pain. The analogy applies to the gut health of our soul. The stomach is filled by the words of our mouth. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat...

Hebrews 12:15 See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled. The frequency of blood tests to monitor cholesterol, blood sugar, liver, and kidney function would vary with age and health conditions. It is recommended that adults do a complete blood-work annually. Similarly, regular spiritual check-ups of our inner man are vital to expose hidden sins and uproot any seeds of bitterness. Unresolved anger turns into bitterness. Insults, abuse or hurt that is never discussed or healed can become like...

Psalm 94:19 “When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.” Anxiety can trigger heart palpitation and increase the heart rate. Pounding heart, fast-beating and fluttering are caused by release of hormones and adrenaline, increasing the heart rate and blood flow. Anxiety related palpitations are normally short-lived and relaxing techniques such as deep breathing or walking can normalize the palpitations. ‘Managing anxiety and mastery over anxious thoughts/reactions marks our level of spiritual maturity’. A healthy spiritual heart is “anxiety-resistant”. The divine techniques of overcoming anxiety are by reiterating the truth over the facts. The facts of an issue could...

Psalm 139:23-24 “Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; See if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.” Regular health-checks become essential after the age of 40 to detect any age-related conditions that could deteriorate the health and longevity of life. Health checkups could identify heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and malignant conditions in their early stages. Similarly a regular spiritual health checkup is inevitable as we grow and mature in our walk with the Lord. The older we grow spiritually the more frequently we...

1 Corinthians 2:9 “However, as it is written: ‘What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived’—the things God has prepared for those who love him.” The gifts and blessings in the mega storehouse of heaven can neither be imagined nor understood with human intellect and our limited mental abilities. The treasures stored for us in heaven are way beyond human comprehension. Everything that we receive on earth comes from our Father in Heaven. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom...

2 Kings 11:10 The priest supplied them with the spears and small shields that had once belonged to King David and were stored in the Temple of the LORD. The Bible records a very dark virulent queen, Athaliah who ruled Judah for six years. She was the daughter of the perverted king of Israel, Ahab and his idolatrous wife Jezebel. So, the king of Judah and the king of Israel were related through marriage. Hence, worship of idols and perversion, like sexually transmitted disease, had penetrated into the kingdom of Judah, (the family of David). The High Priest Jehoiada summoned the commander...

Matthew 6:20: “But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal.” It is important to be thrifty with our wealth, earning and spending; however, it is more important for us to accumulate treasures in heaven. “Savings” is a good financial habit that keeps us debt free and gives us a quality lifestyle. Similarly spiritual savings will enhance our divine lifestyle. Spiritual Savings is a godly discipline to develop, grow and nurture. Just like earthly treasures we can have spiritual assets in heaven. Spiritual capital assets, working...

Proverbs 13:22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous. The Lord God has bank accounts on earth that stores-up the wealth of the wicked, for the righteous. Illegitimate earning and bribes accumulated by depriving or cheating others will grow fast but it is only stored-up for those who walk justly before the Lord. The Hebrew slaves slogged in Egypt without wages, compensations, leave pay, increment, bonus or commission. They invested their time, strength and efforts just to survive. The Egyptians extracted slave labour from the doomed...

Proverbs 7:1-3 My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you. Keep my commands and you will live; guard my teachings as the apple of your eye. Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart. Our heart is a storehouse. Everything the mind retains goes into a cubical in the storehouse of our heart. Good, pleasant and happy memories as well as bad, sour and nasty occurrences are stored in the storehouse of our heart. Our heart can become an untidy godown or can be a tidy home. The heart that refuses to...

Proverbs 2:7 He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless. There is a humongous storehouse that holds success, wisdom and diligence in store for the upright and those who walk blamelessly before the Lord. Honesty and righteous lifestyle are the swipe cards to enter into the storehouse of success. In fact, success and victory follow those who walk in integrity and purity. There are three distinct layers of success for the righteous – purposeful life, prosperity and prominence that comes with promotion. “Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and...
