GUARD YOUR HEART AGAINST BITTERNESS, ENVY, JEALOUS AND UNFORGIVENESS
Guard against the thought that will pollute your heart. God is full of love. There is no hatred in Him (Psalm 11: 3). Our thought is the foundation. Our thoughts must always be aligned with God’s thoughts. Guard your heart against strife. In Gen 14: 14 Abraham put his life at risk for Lot despite all that had happened between them. God wants us to guard our hearts against bitterness. Guard your heart against envy and jealousy (John 3: 23 – 27).
Once your heart is contaminated your prayer, praise and worship to God will be contaminated. It is the state of your heart that determines the state of your life. Guard your heart against the thought of unforgiveness (Rom 12: 14, Luke 6: 30).
Don’t allow the enemy to use your mind to carry out his wickedness on the earth. Do good hoping for nothing in return from the people you do it to, looking unto God for your reward. Guard your heart against being judgmental. God has not called you to be a judge.
Guard your heart against the thought of lack and scarcity by giving generously. Every giving that is done with the thought of scarcity or lack is a polluted giving. It will never be acceptable to God.
Guard your heart against REVENGE by praising God for that situation (Deuteronomy 32: 43, Romans 12: 19). You praise God, and He will avenge for you (Hebrews 10: 30, Psalm 149: 6 – 9). When you allow God to take vengeance on your behalf, you are blessed for it.
It is the heart of men that determines who is blessed. The word of God should not and must not depart from your heart and mouth. The only time you can be a victim of evil is if you have been harboring bad thoughts.
