COLD HEART

Text : Luke  24:32  

And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

Your heart depicts your real you. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Prov. 23:7.  

Hearts can be classified into different categories,  one of such categories is a cold heart.

The word of God cannot germinate on a cold heart. Before anyone can profit from God's word, his heart's temperature must change from being cold to being hot.

Some hearts are not cold, but they aren't hot either Jesus said He will spit out such people.

I know your actions, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot.
Since you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I am going to spit you out of my mouth. Rev.3:15-16.
Note that a lukewarm heart is as Terrible as a cold heart. Let your heart burn for Him and Him alone.

At times, while some are being blessed by reason  of God's words,  others are just plainly indifferent. This is because their hearts are too cold to receive the engrafted word of God which is able to save their souls. James1:21.

The only antidote to a cold heart is fire. And this fire only come through His word. 
Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?Jeremiah  23:29.  The fire of God's words is able to burn the coldness of your heart away, if you could receive it.

Whilst Jesus was speaking with some of  His disciples, they later commented that their hearts burn within them while He was speaking. 

If what you are hearing  is indeed the words of Jesus,  then your heart will burn within you. Luke 24:32.

Does your heart still burn for Jesus? If not, check what you are hearing, and sincerely ask God to ignite your heart with His fire once more.


Bible Reading : Matt.13:1- 23.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
