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…

Bible reading for the day: Song of Solomon 1-4

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. January Saturday 18th TOPIC: HOW TO ATTAIN BIBLE HOLINESS TEXT: Romans 6:20-23 KEY VERSE: Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Besides the essential knowledge of the holy life of a Christian, it is good to understand the manner and process of becoming holy before God. Holiness of life is a life that has overcome sin through the saving power of Jesus Christ. Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. It is a life that does not commit sin. 1John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Getting this experience requires four things: 1. Know that apart from holiness, there is no alternative lifestyle for heaven. Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holin...
