THE WAY OF GOOD INCREASE.
📖
“Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” Proverbs 4:23 NLT
📖
HAPPY DAY TO YOU: God created enough for everyone from the beginning. He first made everything needed for the well-being of man before He made man so why don’t we have enough to live well? God did not remove the provisions He made for man even after Adam fell He only said Adam will sweat to get it. Genesis 1:17-19 you can read it. So how come even the sweat of man’s face does not feed him again? Why do some people have so much excess to feed, to keep and to oppress their fellow man while others are dying in the midst of God’s plenty? While thinking of the state of mankind, I was guided to the words of Jesus; “Jesus answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.”” John 6:26–27 NASB1995. Jesus pointed out two types of food which are the natural food that perishes or the food that endures to eternal life which He gives. Then I remember that God said man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from His mouth. Jesus also said we are to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness and every other thing will be added to us. John 6:33.
The Kingdom of God is in our heart and that is where our text for today comes in. Our work is to GUARD OR HEARTS. I never realised how laborious it is to guard my heart until I started practicing it. Most people including me do not realise that SPIRITUAL REALITIES ARE LIKE NATURAL REALITIES IN THAT YOU LABOUR TO IMPROVE AND INCREASE THEM. Spiritual realities however determine your natural ones therefore, you need to increase in your spirit to increase in the natural. Apostle John puts it this way; “Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.” 3 John 1:2 NASB1995. Your physical prosperity is dependent on your SOUL PROSPERITY. God’s plan for your well being starts from your heart and we will begin a short series on SOUL PROSPERITY from tomorrow.

TODAY’S EXERCISE: Thank You God that You are making me aware of where my labour should be. Give me a clear understanding of Your instructions. Say to yourself ten times and as often as you can “I guard my heart and ‘thinking’ with all diligence today and always”.

Thank you for this reminder to guard our hearts, and that our physical prosoerity depends on our soul’s prosperity.
Sometime, we spend too much time working for physical food at the expense of providing good food for our souls. This could lead to “kwashiorkor of the soul”, a deadly disease.
Spiritual malnutrition may God deliver us
