The troubled heart {part two}

By Pastor Kayode Kolawole

Bible Verses.
*A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good: and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. Luke 6 : 45.
*Keep thy heart with all diligence: for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4 : 23.
From the perspective of the scriptures, there are two categories of men under the sun. They are =>Good Men. =>Evil Men. These categories of men are certainly responding to the state of the hearts which are the engine rooms that control their outward behavior that makes them to be addressed as good and evil. A man who is evil is expected to experience salvation so as to give up the heart of stone and subsequently receive the earth of the flesh. If this is done, from the new good heart he shall begin to receive good instructions that will reflect in good deeds.
Satan does not exist in physical state but he is always seeking for physical man to do his bidding by polluting the heart of regenerated man after salvation.
In order to prevent Satan from accomplishing this inimical objective, the Bible says “Keep thy heart with all diligence: for out of it are the issues of life. ” Proverbs 4 : 23. Satan is fully aware of the importance of pure and sanctified heart in the relationship between God and man and between man and man. As a result of this, the diabolical plan and programme of Satan for human beings is to make sure that our hearts are troubled by the forces we mentioned in our first Friday of July edition in this paper which we listed in three chronological order such as.
-Events Of The Past.
-The Present Events In Our Lives.
-Expected Coming Events.
But today we shall reveal the characteristics of troubled heart. From the statements bellow you should be able to identify whether your heart is troubled or not
WHEN YOUR HEART IS TROUBLED. WHAT HAPPENS?
Your acceleration towards divine direction may sluggishly slow down without you knowing it at all.
You may begin to lose interest in activities that will bring you blessings because you are no longer in a perfect state of emotional and mental harmony.
Simple problems and events you were in control of before will begin to drible you as if you are an upstart in your career.
You shall begin to experience memory failure when you are carrying out intelligent conversation.
There shall be embarrassing inability to carry out strategic plans effectively.
Freshers or new comers in your vocation who are banking on you as their source of inspiration may begin to overtake you strategically without notice.
Men with good plan and virile vision who are willing to be your partners may begin to avoid you because your distorted mind may no longer be useful for their intended purpose.
Your sense of judgement may become very weak and nebulous in strategic decision making and men who knew your status and standard in the past may begin to ask questions.
Your efficiency level in the field where you were known as an expert may begin to reflect gradual reduction if those who are close to you do not quickly call your attention to it.
Your level of hospitality towards your fellow human beings shall no longer be real especially if they are making progress in the field where you are always a failure.
You are likely to begin to exibit inferiority complex in the midst of your contemporaries because your sense of judgement is weak with respect to where and what you are in their circle.
Events around your life will make you to begin to keep away from your contemporaries without you knowing it gradual by gradual.
When men are having free conversation that are not related to your case, your inner peace shall be disturbed unconsciously even when what they are discussing are not related to you.
Your responsibilities towards men who are depending on you which you had been carrying out willingly shall become a very herculean burden just because your heart is troubled.
Temptations you used to overcome easily in the past when you had a very sound mind shall begin to trample upon you because your level of watchfulness and discernment had been perforated by the evil arrows of problems outside your control.
Inspirations in the place of meditation that had been your source of solution to mysterious problems shall begin to dry up or in some cases become uncordinated for spiritual decision making.
Vibrant praying and fasting which used to be your trade mark in spiritual warfare may become ineffective by and large if you are not carefully corrected by experienced and spiritual elders who are expected to be your spiritual overseers.
Your faith in God and fellowship with the children of God shall no longer be beneficial to you though you may still be moving along because you don’t want people to ask questions that could embarrass you.
You may begin to blame everyone around you including those who are placed in position to help you once your mind is no longer sound to meet the need of the hour.
Finally to conserve space, if your heart is left in the state of permanent trouble and perpetual disarray without seeking for urgent help, you may eventually backslide from the faith. May this not be your portion in the mighty name of Jesus.
Until Jesus Christ comes, keep your heart with all diligence and wait for the rapture.
