An imperfect heart

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.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

FELLOWSHIP

Date 📅 24th November, 2022 Topic Fellowship (koinonia) Living Scripture Matthew 18:20 KJV For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Wherever believers are gathered in the name of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, there the Lord comes to fellowship. In heaven the celestials cease not to give due worship to God and the LAMB of God, it's a constant tradition of divine communion and fellowship. It is not every gathering that men calls Jesus Christ that he attends, the scripture states that these candidates for fellowship must be in the name of Jesus Christ. They must be saved to even think of gathering for the purpose of intimacy and fellowship. Two thieves were hung up on the cross with the person of Christ, but only one that repented and believed in the Kingdom of Heaven and Christ, that received attention from Jesus. To gather in fellowship with the Lord as a family this morning, we must all be in Him. Our devotion will not be c...

No Weakness In Heaven

Date 📅 14th October, 2022 Topic No Weakness In Heaven Living Scripture Matthew 5:48 KJV Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Heaven is a place to dream about, a place where our Heavenly Father dwells. It is not the skies we see or the galaxy of wide space we watch on the satellite and internet. The Bible records that Heaven is God's throne, a place where there are innumerable hosts of angels serving the LORD. There's no weakness in God's presence, for His glory and power radiates through the whole existence. Every biblical angel as described are very powerful and well coordinated. So is everyone born of God. Our Lord Jesus Christ came from Heaven and taught us what Heaven is like. And all the illustrations given in the four gospel of Christ were full of maturity and perfection. God wants us to be like Him that's why we are made in His image and glory though resident here on earth but of the commonwealth of Heaven. Wit...
