TOPIC: HAVE A PERFECT HEART BEFORE GOD LIKE ASA

TEXT 1 KINGS 8:57-61
57. The LORD our God be with us, as He was with our fathers: let Him not leave us, nor forsake us:
58. That He may incline our hearts unto Him, to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commandments, and His statutes, and His judgments, which He commanded our fathers.
59. And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that He maintain the cause of His servant, and the cause of His people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:
60. That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else.
61. Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in His statutes, and to keep His commandments, as at this day.

KEY VERSE 1 KINGS 15:14. But the high places were not removed: nevertheless, Asa’s heart was perfect with the Lord all his days’

From the text, Asa was perfect all the days of his life. His heart was perfect with the Lord. Why did your own collapse on the way? His heart was steady, sincere and he never fell. He was a leader yet his heart never fell because of money, women, honor, pride or alcohol. His heart was perfect before the God of heaven. 

In 2 Kings 20:1- In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying, I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight.

And Hezekiah wept sore. And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,. Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD. 

And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake. 

A man that is perfect and knows himself. If you are perfect, you will know. If you are not sinning, you will know for faith is different from doubt. When the Lord told Hezekiah he was going to die, he said, God why? Why am I going to die? No, I'm not feeling like dying now. 

But I have been very sincere in all my ways. I never played hypocrisy. My heart is not lusting. I am not proud before my people. I am sincere and perfect. I have a pure heart. I am working for You. No, God, I will not die. God answered his prayers. 

Thought for the day: Be ye perfect to attract God’s Mercy.

Song for the day. LORD reach me Your ways, I want to know Your ways…

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...
  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
