Message

A psychologist named John Locke through his research came up with an important finding. He explained that the heart of a child at birth is empty. This he referred to as Tabular Rasa which means “blank slate”. He argued that children were blank slates and that what they became was dependent on learning and experience.

This is true to the extent that all infants came without behavioral characteristics whether negative or positive. It is when they start to interact with the environment that they learn to do things on their own. The environment is the instrument for writing things in their hearts that the child will meditate on. This learning process will then influence his activity and general lifestyle.

Jesus Christ gives us an illustration in the Bible passage to show that there can be no vacuum in a person’s life. Every person is either filled with Christ and His righteousness or with satanic spirits and unrighteousness. It depends on which side a person decides to be. If you want to be on the side of the Saviour, then repent, empty your heart of all your sins and ask Him to forgive and cleanse you with His blood. This is called salvation. After this, you then declare ‘no vacancy’ to Satan by committing yourself to unquestionable obedience to God, prayer, righteousness, the word of God and being filled with the Holy Spirits. As you make this your daily pursuit, then Satan and his agents will flee and will never return to your abode forever.
