An imperfect heart

DATE: September 8th, 2021

TOPIC: An imperfect heart

BIBLE TEXT: II Chronicles 25vs2 – And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.


As a child of God you are to serve the LORD with all your heart, might and mind, everything that makes you a man/woman, you are to surrender to God. The LORD does not require half service, half obedience or half cooked meals. He wants us wholly and complete. Romans 12vs1 says ……… that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service of worship [MEV]. Listen to the anchor scripture; King Amaziah served God with half of his heart (love) and the other half he used for idolatry and disobedience.

When you serve God with an imperfect/incomplete heart, your service will become corrupted and polluted before God and before men. King Saul also was a man with an imperfect heart, who disobeyed the LORD’s direct instructions and commands, also the young prophet in I Kings 13, who obeyed God partially. We must learn to serve the LORD with all our strength and heart like Christ did, saying not my will (not the works of the flesh) but the will of God (the leading and direction of the Holy Spirit). 

To serve God perfectly we need to live and walk in the spirit. We need to mortify our members, crucify the flesh daily I Corinthians. 15v31 – Paul said by the Holy Ghost – I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our LORD, I die daily (to the flesh).


Prayer: Heavenly Father, I repent of my ignorant ways and works of the flesh, help me to walk perfectly in your ways by the help of the Holy Spirit.

Insight: An Imperfect heart will ruin your work with God.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a...

THE EASY WAY

Date 📅 23rd September, 2022 Topic The Easy Way Living Scripture Matthew 7:13 KJV Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: There are many ways and roads in life both spiritually and physically but the paths we choose to walk on determines our destination at the end. This world is full of sin and disobedience and selfishness, it has a wide gate welcoming everyone and it's paths are broad to gather much people in order to destroy their lives. Lying has become part of the way of so many today even some part of the church lie and claim it's the easy way out of troubles and confrontations. The easy way or short cut as it is often mentioned is not the way of life neither the way of righteousness. Looking for the easy way is looking for death, it is an invitation to false spirits that corrupts and pollutes. Let us seek to know the true path that leads to life and life in...

PECULIAR PEOPLE

Date 📅 31st August, 2022 Topic Peculiar People  Living Scripture 1 Peter 2:9 KJV But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: In the beginning God the Father was and is and is to come for a particular kind of people as He once did with Adam and eve in Eden. He created the heavens and the earth and everything that lives and breathes. And by the power of His Word He made man in His own image and likeness. Therefore man was made right from the beginning to be peculiar and fit for the glory of God. There was no plan in God's holy palm to reduce man to a pauper, it was our sinful ways and disobedience that caused us to fall short of this beautiful inheritance our first father once partook of. A peculiar People stands different, out of the ordinary, unusual and unpredictable from a specific clan or place. The scripture reads t...
