A Man’s Life Is a Reflection of What Is in His Heart
A man’s life is a reflection of what is in his heart. And that would mean we should check the things stored in our hearts, especially offences. It should be good and good alone – not evil.

A man’s life is a reflection of what is in his heart. And that would mean we should check the things stored in our hearts, especially offences. It should be good and good alone – not evil.
What you see cannot satisfy you – whether humans, products or other material possessions. None of them can fulfil the deep yearning in your soul. God placed that hunger there, so you’ll always desire to connect to Him and view things according to his lenses.
One of the ways to appease someone’s heart after grieving him is to give the person a gift secretly. It can be a private phone call, text message expressing an apology or a short note. Whatever it is, your goal should be keeping destiny relationships intact no matter what.
God is still in the business of turning nobodies into somebodies. He is still turning what the world regards as foolishness to confound the wise. Know that God won’t disappoint you when you put your hope in Him.
You don’t have traces of past sins when you come into Christ. You’re spiritually washed off every filth of sin in your past, regardless of how harmful it was to you. So when the enemy tries remembering you of something evil you did, tell him even God has forgotten it, so he has no audacity to remember you about it.
To keep a straight course means to be focused in life. It refers to living with intentionality, always bearing in mind that there’s a divine vision to accomplish and possibly die for before Jesus comes back. Having this at the back of your mind regulates your life and time usage exceptionally. Because you’ll not have time to play around doing nothing meaningful.
God cares so much about you. And He knows how far His name will reach if He elevates you. So that dream you have isn’t a nuisance to Him. He has captured it, and if it’s part of His plan for your life, He will surely take you there. Don’t be afraid. Keep moving forward in faith.
Being conscious of obeying Him doesn’t entirely depend on His empowerment but also your choice. You must intentionally pay attention to living by the dictates of God in all your life endeavours.
Seeds don’t grow because you put them in the soil but because you’re consistently providing the necessities required for their germination. Form lasting habits that’ll keep reminding you and building upon the vision God has given you.
There’s no assurance that anything earthly you put your hope in won’t fail you. God is your security against shame, not your parents, job, family or connections. He is the ancient of days. He knows how to take care of you in unimaginable ways. Don’t lose hope in Him.
There’s no time to use your life as an experiment. It’s time to live on purpose because only Jesus can satisfy you when you submit to His leadership and guidance. Follow Him closely.
The ultimate goal for doing everything is to glorify God, not to please yourself or another person. Because of a truth, God sees your heart’s intent for doing anything (Proverbs 16:2). And though you can deceive man, you can’t con God.
