       *KEEP YOUR HEART*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  05 September 2024:Share*


SCRIPTURE: Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of Life - *Proverbs 4:23 KJV*


*Our hearts are important in our walk with God because He looks at our hearts and not our appearances* - *1  Samuel 16:7*


*Our Services are unacceptable when our hearts are unacceptable.*


The Lord accepted the Offering of Abel because his heart was accepted, while the offering of Cain was rejected because his heart was unacceptable - *Genesis 4:4-5*


*Therefore, there is a need to keep our hearts with all diligence that our walk with God will not be in vain.*


*Why must we keep our Hearts?*


*(1)* As we think in our hearts, so are we - *Proverbs 23:7*


*(2)* Our hearts are battle fields between Good and Evil - *2 Corinthians 10:4-5*


*(3)* A Troubled Heart is a Troubled Life, while a Peaceful Heart is a Peaceful Life - *John 14:27*


*The following three steps are needed to keep our hearts daily:*


*(1)* Feeding our hearts with the truth - *John 17:17*


*(2)* Free the hearts of all evils - *2 Corinthians 10:4-5*


*(3)* Focus the heart on what is Right - *Philippians 4:8; Colossians 3:2*


*When our hearts are well kept, we will live a Healthy Life and our words and the Meditation of our hearts will be acceptable to God.*


*Prayer:*

Father, in the Name of Jesus, let my words and the Meditation of my heart be acceptable to You in Jesus Christ Name.
