The Heart Condition
by Apostle (Prof) Johnson Suleman
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Ezekiel 19-20
TEXT: “But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.” 1 Samuel 16 :7.

God does not judge as man judges. He looks beyond your physical disposition and checks your heart. It does not mean that your actions do not count before God. No! In fact, God weighs your action. The Bible say, “God is a God of judgment and in Him actions are weighed.” 1 Sam. 2 :3.
In other words, God weighs your actions from the condition of your heart. So your heart condition is very important to God.
Samuel was almost carried away by the physical looks of the sons of Jesus-Eliab, Abinadab and Shammah etc. He thought their physical built was the quality needed for a King, but the all-knowing God corrected him and that was what brought David, the one after God’s heart, to the throne. Any service rendered to God must come from a pure and sincere heart otherwise, it is in vain. So put your heart in order, let the Spirit of the fear of the LORD rule your heart and put your life in order. Scripture says, “Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart… therefore shall thou serve thy enemy…” Deut. 28 :47.
See what Hezekiah said to God that made God to add fifteen more years to him. “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.” 2 Kings 20 :3.
I pray for you, your heart shall be right.
PRAYER: My Father! My Father! As I begin to pray, every corruptness in my heart, be destroyed by the blood of Jesus
