Proverbs 4:23 “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it,” Offence is a very strong emotion of resentment brought about by a perceived insult, disrespect or disregard to a person’s honour, ideological beliefs or public image. Unhealed offence will build into a stronghold of bitterness and rage. It is an instinctive reaction to the threat of their self-image and self-esteem normally rooted in insecurity and hypersensitivity. If offence is not dealt with and corrected, it can mar the character and the conduct of a person and completely destroy their future and vision. We see the...

Proverbs 4:23 “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Normal heart rates for adults range from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Low heart rate can cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or fatigue. Measuring the heart rate is a quick and important vital sign to assess our overall health. Slow heart rate can be caused by heart damage, thyroid issues, medications, and certain medical conditions. Our spiritual heart also has a heart rate that will determine our overall spiritual health. Doubt and desperation can slowdown our spiritual heart rate and drop our spiritual pulse rate. Protect...

Romans 4:23 “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it,” Our heart is a vital organ which pumps lifeblood into all the organs of the body to deliver oxygen and nutrients and to remove waste. The heart muscles function like a powerful pump that never stops from the time we are born until we die. Hence, protecting our “heart health” is non-negotiable for a long and healthy life. Our spiritual heart is where our faith resides (Romans 10:9). The spiritual heart is not a muscle but the inner-man and the mansion where the Holy Spirit dwells. As we...

Proverbs 4:23 “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it,” Our heart is like our safety locker where priceless valuables are stored. Our inner convictions—faith, values, and beliefs—spring from the heart. The thoughts and motives shape the actions and the character of a person. The thoughts we meditate become the spiritual deposits in the heart that spin into moral fiber. Hence the heart must be protected from doubt, anger, animosity, pride, envy, bitterness, lust, rejection and the like. Thoughts of low self-esteem, insecurity and rejection will break the heart. One bad incident can ruin the...

1 Kings 19:5-6 Then he(Elijah) lay down and slept under the broom tree.

Ecclesiastes 5:6a Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger (angel) of God that it was an error. To get information from Siri, we need to give clear instructions. If we say, “Hey Siri, call Ben,” she’ll respond by asking which Ben we mean — ‘Ben Baker’ or ‘Ben Black’? The instructions to Siri must be clear and precise for her to carry out the task given. If not, the Apple Assistant will not be able to assist us. Allegorically, Angelic Assistants are our divine Siris who carry our prayers, petitions, requests and...
