Biologically, the heart is an organ in the chest that sends blood round the body. A healthy heart is an indicator that you are alive; So when your heart stops functioning it doesn’t matter how beautiful your face or legs are, you start dying.

From God’s point of view , your heart is where the issues of life flows from. It controls the mind such that anything that goes on in the heart is passed to the mind and further progresses into actions and words. The heart is the fulcrum for either a happy or depressed life. The heart is what God sees not what we do or say [1 Samuel 16 vs 7 says"For the Lord sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart"] unlike man. So here are just 3 ways to keep a healthy heart;

• GET A NEW HEART

  [Ezekiel 36 vs 26 says; "A new hear also will I give you and a new Spirit will I put within you"]

  I don’t mean you should do a heart surgery, I mean you should yield your heart to God. Why?  Because it’s either God or the Devil, so you have to trust God enough to make Him the master over your heart and allow Him wok on it.

• CONSCIOUSLY FEED YOUR HEART RIGHT [Philippians 4 vs 8 says "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK ON THESE THINGS"]. You have to make that decision to think right. It’s just like someone that’s on a specific diet, he/she has to consciously pick what to eat not just anything. So let’s be wise enough to feed on the right things. Lastly;

• GUARD YOU HEART  [Proverbs 4 vs 23 says "keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life"]. Guard means ‘the act or duty to protect something from danger or attack’. Meaning that wrong things will try to flood your heart but it’s your duty to discard it as fast as you can. Don’t let it stay, you have the ability not meditate on it so it won't pollute your mind. So as youths we owe ourselves a healthy heart, take your time and meditate right and you’ll be amazed!!
