Questions of the HEART

These are the questions that individuals ask on daily basis about themselves on daily occasions irrespective of there color, religion, background, educational background, geographical location or whatsoever you can think of.

These question have cause many people there life, job, spouse, partner and many other valuable things because of the wrong answers that has been given o these questions thinking that it is right answers.

At this junction lets look into the four questions of the heart:

1. Who am I?

This has nothing to do with your name, your color who any other physical attribute that you can think of but it is QUESTION OF IDENTITY. it is the ability of someone to really discover his ability, his potential that God has deposited in him.

It is sad that our society did not allow many individuals to discover who they are instead the society impose on they what it feels they are and because of this we live our life base on what the society and our environment has said we are.

2. Where am I from?

Please don't tell me you are from UK, Africa, US or any geographical settlement or racial background because this is not what this question is about instead it is QUESTION OF HERITAGE.

Wait for a seconds look at your dress, car, shoe and anything you can see around has a label of the manufacturer and some even put there contact, this mean there is nothing that exist on is own likewise human we have a manufacturer somebody created us in his own image even in his own likeness created them male and female and the interesting part of it is we are made perfect no matter your physical appearance or your state of health you are made perfect.
Find your HERITAGE today which is in GOD our creator.


3. What can I do? QUESTION OF POTENTIAL

Everything that was manufactured and even those that will be manufacture are made for a reason and for a specific task. So you are created to fulfill a specific task on earth and u have all it takes to do it because everything you will be as been deposited in you is just that you have to discover the treasure in you.

Don't forget that in a seed there is a tree and also a forest but many people only see the seed and not the treasure that is in it so don't worry about what others say about you but you yourself must discover what you can do so that they won't have diverse opinion about you.

4. Where am I going? QUESTION OF DESTINY

There is need to know what lies ahead of you as you journeyed in life because all this amount to knowing about your heritage (question 2) because if u don't know where you are from you wont know where you are going.

Friends do answer these questions correctly and it is my believe that our life will change for the best as we do.

Heart




Your Heart is the Soil Where Your Thoughts Become Seeds That Create Your Future.

"Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life."
Proverbs 4:23 (NKJV)


The final item on the Passover table is something called charoses. Charoses is made from ground apples, red wine, cinnamon, and sugar. This paste looks very much like mortar and represents the mortar the Israelites heaped upon the bricks when they were slaves. Charoses is the very heart of the Passover table, the seed that created Israel's future.

The voices and thoughts that enter your mind are also seeds. You have a choice over which seeds get planted and which get rejected. Your heart becomes the fertile soil where those seeds are planted, become mature, and produce fruit.
There is no way to avoid this process of "heart germination," for the Bible tells us in Proverbs 4:23 that this is how God designed the human heart to function. "Keep [manage, tend, protect, safeguard, watch over, preserve, chaperon, care for, be a good steward over] your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life."
The only way to assure good outcomes in your life is to plant good seeds inside your heart.

When I went through a difficult period in my life, it primarily occurred because early in my childhood, bad seeds were planted inside my heart, and those seeds matured, producing bad fruit. Destructive thought-seeds take root and begin to grow because you choose to believe what they say is the truth. Additionally, you even begin to believe evil concerning yourself.

It is important to realize that any thought left unchallenged is established as fact. Therefore, take the abundance of seeds of God's Word and sprinkle them onto the soil of your heart (the charoses, the mortar), give it some time, and watch it grow a bountiful and life-changing harvest.


Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I keep my heart with all diligence for out of it spring the issues of life.

Self Image

See Yourself At The Level Of Success For Which You're Aiming Long Before You Ever Attempt To Go There.

"Then The Lord Brought Abram Outside Beneath The Night Sky And Told Him, 'Look Up Into The Heavens And Count The Stars If You Can. Your Descendants Will Be Like That-Too Many To Count!"

Genesis 15:6 (NIV)

Although most Hebrew young men agreeably followed the footsteps of their fathers, occasionally some rebelled, seeking alternative careers. In these cases, jewish boys were apprenticed, either by Samaritans ar a pagan master called a Rav.

So great was the boy's determination to be a Sculptor that He would observe his Rav for hours on end, scrutinizing his master's fingers, analyzing the proper usage of the tools, seeing himself one day performing those very same tasks. He envisioned himself as his master - Completely.

God gave Abram an unforgettable portrait of what his future would hold. From that Night On, Every time Abram beheld the stars, He was reminded of the promise.
You and I must do the Same. Though God may not give you such a tangible picture of your Future, He endowed you with a divine Imagination.
In the solitude of your mind, You can create any picture you like; You can See yourself being, doing, and having virtually anything.

Once you define that reality in your mind, move toward it as steadfastly as the Jewish boy toward his Rav and the occupation they shared. Your indomitable heart will begin to search out the best path towards its attainment. What you must do is see yourself having already accomplished ti.

Proverbs 23:7 Tell Us, "As A Man Thinketh In His Heart, So Is He." This Is True Whether Or Not We Like It. If We Are Wise, We'll Learn To Use This Divine Concept For Our Benefit. God Lives On The Inside Of Us; Therefore, Our Responsibility Is To Allow Him To Express Himself Through Us.

Father, I Thank You That I Have The Mind Of Christ. I Think Upon Your Word Because I Am What I Think In My Heart.

Happiness


Your True Happiness Is Determined By Who You Are, Not By What You Possess.

"So When Jesus Heard These Things, He Said To Him, "You Still Lack One Thing. Sell All That You Have And Distribute To The Poor, And You Will Have Treasure In Heaven; And Come, Follow Me." But When He Heard This, He Became Very Sorrowful, For He Was Very Rich."

Luke 18:22-23 (NKJV)

Once You Hear The Soul-Pounding Reverberation Of The Shofar (Or Ram's Horn), By Far The Oldest Of All Jewish Musical Instruments, You Will Never Be The Same.

Professional Musicians, As Well As Minstrels, Regularly Played In The Palaces And Temples Of Israel, Creating Happiness And Elation For Their Adoring Listeners. But It Was Not The Harp, Lyre, Trimbrel, Or Kinnor That Generated This Happiness.

It Was The Gift And Enthusiastic Flair Of The Musician, The Heavenly Melodies And Sacred Rhythms That Dwelt Within, Exuding Those Delightful Songs.

Society Would Have Us Believe Happiness Is What We Have, Not Who We Are. No Doubt You Have Heard People Say, "I Would Be Happy If I Had A Million Dollars," "...Lived In A Mansion," Or "...Drove An Expensive Car." Sure, It Is Possible To Have These Things And Still Be Happy, But These Material Possessions Do Not, And Will Not, Produce Happiness.

Ask The Wife Who Has All The Jewelry And Clothes She Could Ever Imagine, Yet Discovers Her Husband Is Cheating On Her. Is She Happy? Although Someone May Have All The Money, Cars, And Houses One Could Ever Want, That Does Not Mean They Are Happy. Life Is More Than Just Achieving Your Personal Goals And Acquiring Material Possessions.

True Happiness Is The Direct Result Of Knowing God And Living Out Your Purpose. It Is About Who You Are Inside, Not The Things You Possess. Without Purpose, Life Is Meaningless And Ultimately Very Dissatisfying. Start Today Living Life To The Fullest And Pursuing God With Everything You Have.

Daily Confession

Father, I Thank You That My True Happiness Is Determined By Who I Am, Not By What I Possess.

Action


The Actions You Embrace Are A Documentation Of What You Truly Believe.

"Yea, A Man May Say, Thou Hast Faith, And I Have Works: Shew Me Thy Faith Without Thy Works, And I Will Shew Thee My Faith By My Works."

James 2:18 (KJV)

Let's Enter God's Dwelling-Place Of Palestine, Exploring Its Vibrant Culture, Biblical Symbolism, And Majestic Pageantry. Did You Know That Old Testament Hebrew Boys Typically Followed Their Father's Vocations Such As: Shepherding, Weaving, Or Fishing?

Their Distinct Actions Became A Documentation Of What They Believed About Their Distinct Trades. Shepherds Were Recognized By Their Expertise For Gathering Flocks And Extensive Knowledge Of The Elements, While Weavers Were Acclaimed For Their Technological Operation Of Intricate Looms And Shuttles, And Fishermen Were Esteemed For The Physical Challenges Produced By The Ever-Changing Sea.

What You Believe Is Always Revealed By Your Actions. As Believers, There Are Times When We Think We Believe The Word Of God When In Fact, Our Actions Prove Otherwise. James States That The "Proof Is In The Pudding." If Someone Says They Believe God's Word, But Doesn't Support It With Their Actions, Their Faith Is As Dead As The Nearly Extinct Occupation Of "Town Crier."

True Faith Is Continually Followed By Actions. The Apostle John Confirmed This When He Wrote These Words, "Now By This We Know That We Know Him, If We Keep His Commandments" (1 John 2:3).

Jesus Asked His Disciples, "Why Do You Call Me Lord, Lord, And Do Not What I Say?" Like The Shepherd, Weaver, And Fisherman, Allow God To Help You Prove Your Actions By Trusting Daily Through Unwavering Obedience.

Daily Confession

Father, I Thank You That I Am A Doer Of The Word, Not A Hearer Only. My Faith Is Alive And Working; And I Prove My Faith In Your Word Through My Actions.

Realize Success

Success is only a dream to those who talk about it in the future tense, but success is a reality for those who embrace it in their present.

You are either the prisoner of your past or the pioneer of your future.

Eliminate the things that hindered you in the past.

Develop the key ingredients of high achievement.

How a person starts a race doesn’t really matter; how He finishes does.

The chisel of decision sculpts the destiny of your life.

The outcome of your life is based exclusively upon the decisions you make; thus you become the author of your consequences.

The rewards you enjoy in life depend entirely upon you.

You must pay a price now in order to enjoy grater benefits later.

People lose not because they are destined to lose but because they lack the desire to win.

Victors make decisions that create the future they desire, while Victims make decisions that create the present they desire.

A casual attitude towa
rd life leads you to bitter disappointment and biting defeat.

Excellence

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

The rewards of life are only distributed to those who have chosen to embrace the art of distinction.

Achievement is the crown of effort.

The achievement of my ambitions is directly proportionate to the focused effort that I put forth.

Your life is the product of your construction.

Excellence is no more than the passionate pursuit of Distinction.

You will only possess that that which you pursue.

Whatever You desire will only come through great effort.

Life is built by choices not by luck.

No significant achievement in all history came without significant price.

3- Steps to personal distinction:

• Known where you are going
• Determine to reach the next level of excellence
• Refute to embrace mediocrity.

Mediocrity is the willingness to accept the ordinary because we are unwilling to reach for the ordinary.
