We are grateful to God and count it an honor to serve you, your families and communities. In this episode 102, we examine some life analogy of how the human heart must be good ground for the Word of God to flourish in our lives as Christ’s ambassadors. The word “heart” appears over 1000 times in the Bible. This tells us how important God places a high priority on the human heart. Keeping our hearts pure is a calling for all followers of Christ, because the humanheart is prone to distraction, deception and destruction.  The condition of our hearts as Christ’s followers determine how deep the Word of God can take root and bear godly fruitsin our lives. </p><p>You can now join many across the nation to pray continuouslyfor our nation, leaders, systems and for others. Through the platform- <a href="https://americaprays.com/">America Prays,</a> join hearts in prayer for God’s continued blessings upon America and its precious people. </p><p>Our Savior Jesus Christ showed us the Father’s heart through the model Lord’s prayer in Matthew 6: 9-13. This is a reminder of God’s perfect love for His people. As we celebrate fathers this month, we pray God’s blessings on all fathers far and near. Happy Father’s Day. With summer time upon us, we hopeyou and your families have a fun and restful time. </p><p>In Christ&#39;s Love,<br>Drs. Johnson &amp; Feyi Obamehinti</p>
