God's word in our heart matters when it comes to being tempted by the evil one




Seriously I believe that some sins are committed on purpose, and this is because we fail to read and stay committed to God’s word. If there is any chance to keep away from evil is by keeping God’s word in our hearts. Even Christ won evil by keeping His father’s word in His hearts and if we are His true followers, we are to do the same in order to overcome the devil and His tricky temptations. You and I are to keep God’s word in our hearts to overcome evil. This is clearly illustrated by David in

Psalm 119:11(NIV)

 "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you." 


Studying the word of God is an important thing to you and me as a Christians. The reasons why this is one great duty and practices for the Christians are two: first, that we may have it ready for our use. Second, when you are alone and without outward helps, your hearts will furnish you with matters of counsel, or comfort, or reproof: “My reins instruct me in the night season” (Psa. 16:7). David knew how important it was to keep God’s word in His hearts, so should we. We need to keep God’s word in our heart so that we may keep away from evil. The benefit of keeping God’s word in our heart is that whenever temptations come around, His word reminds us and gives us the power to overcome it before we actually sin. When kept in our hearts, the word of God actually teaches us the right from the wrong and anytime Satan tries to tempt us into sin we are able to repeat and so the will of God. The Word of God makes us aware of sin and keeps us from sliding down a slippery slope. It doesn’t mean we will never fail, but we won’t continue to slide down. Like Peter, we will rise up victorious over failure. After denying Christ, he ministered with power on the day of Pentecost. The Bible will keep you from sin as sin will keep you from the Bible. The duty of God’s children is to hide His Word in their hearts, and in so doing there must be a right end; their knowledge of it and delight in it is to be directed to practice. God honors and is committed to blessing those who respect and love His precious Word. So it is up to you and me to keep God’s word in our hearts as we walk the journey of faith.


The word of God benefits our hearts in many forms


It becomes a supply to us when we kneel to pray, it is a great help to us in conducting our affairs, it is a great relief against temptations, it is a great relief in afflictions. So let us learn to enjoy and keep God’s word in our hearts so we can achieve God’s gift of eternal life with Him. 


I hope that this shines a light on your heart today.

Because of His love on Calvary, I am forever a secured package

Should Your Religion Be Based On Your Feelings? Here is the answer..

Should a person decide what to believe based on his or her feelings or something that does not change with moods and circumstances? Big question! Imagine Jesus of Nazareth nailed up on the cross, dying for our sins. Suppose He said, “This is not fun. I am not feeling anything good up here. Let me off this cross. I expected good feelings, not this! Pain is not where it is at for Me. My commitment to die to pay the penalty for man’s sin is far beyond what I am feeling right now.” How would you have counseled Jesus when the bad pain hit Him? Feelings based religion is shaky. Commitments based on good feelings are subject to change any day. This unbiblical approach would make all our commitments very tentative, unpredictable, shaky. This includes: marriage, family, job and friends. A marriage vow would only mean, “I’ll stay with you as long as my good feelings last. I expect only good times, no bad ones.” Jesus did not bail out when the going got tough. Some beliefs a Christian should also...

The second necessary step in designing a successful nonprofit strategy is knowing your beneficiaries

Last week I started a series of blog posts on building a strong and successful strategy for your nonprofit and I started with mentioning the first necessary step you will need to examine before kicking off with your strategy. If you haven’t read that post, I recommend that you visit the article HERE before continuing with this one. Having familiarity with the first article will help you understand this one even much better. This week we are looking at the second step to take when designing your nonprofit strategy, and that step in designing and building a strong and successful strategy for your nonprofit is clearly knowing, stating, and understanding who your beneficiaries are. Some organizations talk about beneficiaries, others refer to participants, others to clients, service users or partners. Here we will refer to beneficiaries as the people whom your nonprofit seeks to benefit. The reason why many nonprofit strategies fail is because too often nonprofits and funders ignore the con...

Being set free by the master who holds the keys to life

After Jesus died on the cross He went down to hell, crushed the devil, and took the keys of life. The devil held us prisoners to fear of death, but now we are given the chance to enjoy eternal life with God the father. The greatest gift the human race can ever earn. It’s all free of charge to be set free, for the master has promised to do this free of charge to all those who desire to be free. If you have not yet accepted Christ, then you are still in a prison cell and you need to be freed from this. The only way that can happen is if you humble yourself and come to the master who has the keys to set you free. If you are in the devils prison, you can’t save yourself, not matter how good you think you are in escaping. You will never be able to escape until you let the master who took the keys set you free. You will try million ways and times, but I assure you, you will never succeed on your own. Many of you may say ‘well I am free’, I can assure you that you are only free in the flesh; ...
