KEEP A PURE HEART

-

1 Chronicles 17:16,26-27

Then King David went in and sat before the Lord and prayed, “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?

For you are God, O Lord. And you have promised these good things to your servant.

And now, it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, so that it will continue forever before you. For when you grant a blessing, O Lord, it is an eternal blessing!”


Glory!


Truly it is a blessing to be recognized by the Heavenly Father. I am not talking of people claiming this or that, NO, I am talking of people whose hearts are fully on Him. Those God commend!


John 2:24-25

But Jesus didn’t trust them, because he knew all about people.

No one needed to tell him about human nature, for he knew what was in each person’s heart.


Never get tired of living a pure life, maintaining a heart that is after the Lord and full of His fruit.


Isaiah 26:3

You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!


Hebrews 6:10-11

For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers, as you still do.

Our great desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts, in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true.


You can do all the show you like, lie to people and also to yourself, but wait, you can't with God. He doesn't look at the outside but inside!


Stop fooling yourself, no matter how large your congregation or followers are, the one God recognizes are those whose heart are centered on Him. Selah


Stop playing foolish thinking you are smart. Keep a pure heart. Get rid of all those disgusting things you have been holding on to through the years that always keeps you in a state of hate, bitterness or pain. Emancipate Yourself! Let God rule in Your heart.


Stop lying to Yourself.


Never ever think that it is fruitless to stay pure and do the right things. Never play with the contents of your heart.


Philippians 4:8

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.


Do not compromise your heart, don't lose it to evil thoughts, envy, lying, hatred, and all other evil devices.


The Lord said:


Matthew 5:8

God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.


Therefore,


Proverbs 4:23

Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.


Remember that it is a continuity and not just for a season. It must be your norm to walk in His righteousness.


Don't think that the tempter or enemy will give up!


Luke 4:13

When the devil had finished tempting Jesus, he left him until the next opportunity came.


This is why the apostle admonished:


2 Corinthians 2:11

so that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes.


Stay faithful, guard your heart, keep only the good thoughts.


O help us Good Lord.


PRAYER

Loving Father, keep me in perfect peace, let my heart always be focused on You. Purify me for Your glory and keep me so forever. I will please You in all things. Help me Lord. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

@the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
