Protect Your Spirit

(Proverbs 4:23 KJV) Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.


A recreated human spirit is full of divine resources capable of producing the result of excellence in life. The very life of God that was responsible for the creation of all things at the beginning resides right inside every child of God.

Apostle Paul in his epistle to the Corinthian Church called a child of God 'a new creation'. This implies an uncommon being. This is what you are in this world.

God has put so much within your spirit. All the forces of life are within you. These include love, faith, joy, peace, patience, temperance etc. You are loaded with the power of God that generates excellence.

Knowing this, you ought to protect your spirit in order to ensure that the forces of God within you are not blocked. You actually need to stay in the Word of God and live by its standard consistently to keep all these forces active.

Be diligent in keeping your heart. Stay in the presence of God through worship, prayer and the ministry of the Word. Your commitment to this will release the power of excellence from your heart into every aspect of your life.
