The engine 2

“Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.” Mathew 12:33-35

We established yesterday that the heart is the engine of all issues of life. There is one basic understanding we should have, the heart and the mind are used interchangeably in the bible. When you keep your heart then you are careful about what you are thinking in your mind. You can keep your heart and when you do, you are keeping your life. You keep your heart by taking charge of what gets into it. It is what gets into your heart that gets into your life and consequently becomes evident in your life. What fills your heart is what fills your life. What you say or do is directly from the contents of your heart.

When you fill your heart with instructions or information about a matter, you will eventually find an opportunity to do it. So if you want to change your life, you must change your heart. If you want to change your heart, you must change the information you are feeding it.

“If they were thinking about the country they had left, they could have gone back.” Hebrews 11:15 (easy to read version)

“Don’t change yourselves to be like the people of this world, but let God change you inside with a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to understand and accept what God wants for you. You will be able to know what is good and pleasing to him and what is perfect.” Romans 12:2 (Easy to read).

If you are tired of your present position and earnestly desire a change, you must start from within, from your heart. Start filling your heart with the information about the change you desire then you will soon get an opportunity to secure the change.

May you be blessed with fresh information for a fresh life today in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God purge me of every information that is poisoning my heart in Jesus name.
