DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEART AGAINST GOD'S TRUTH

TEXT: Hebrews 3:7-19

Key verse:  Proverbs 28:14 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth

his heart shall fall into mischief.

 

A hardened heart is the heart that hears the truth and refuses to respond to it. He hears the truth and purposely rejects it. It is the heart of the hypocrite. It is the heart of the pretender. It is the heart of zealous liars. They are zealous but liars. They are full of pretences. They pretend they are living a holy life; they pretend they are following Jesus with all joy but there is no testimony in their lives to prove it. Their heart is hardened towards God and towards His commandments. Some of them have risen up the ladder of leadership in the Church but they are not genuine Christians. Now, God is revealing them in our midst gradually.

 

You will discover that they have never fully responded to God for the salvation of their soul. They know the truth but they are not ready for it because they love their lives of sin. Their lying lips serve them only for a time.  Over time, it will become manifest and all will see that they are not original. It shall soon be revealed that they are spiritually dead and not alive. It will show brother. My sister, it is going to show with time. It will show that somebody is dead. How long does it take to know whether somebody is asleep or dead? Within one week, flies will locate a decomposing dead body. In the same way, time will soon prove a hypocritical or hardened heart. If there is a particular sin in your life and the word has been hitting you but you refuse to change, the Lord shall locate you soon for iniquity shall not continue forever.

 A hardened heart cannot be penetrated into. Light cannot penetrate into it. Genuine love cannot penetrate into it. Goodness cannot penetrate into it. Kindness cannot penetrate into it because it is too hard to allow anything in. All that you do are pretences. The heart cannot absorb moisture. A hardened heart cannot accept anything into it. Don't serve God with this type of heart.

Thought for the day: Don't harden your heart against the truth of God. There lies your salvation.

Song for the day: I want to be like Daniel to obey Jesus Christ

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 116-118; 1 Corinthians 2

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
