THEME: INTIMACY WITH GOD 3

SCRIPTURE READING: 1 Samuel 16:1-10

???? KEY VERSE: But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on 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

Friend, God needs your heart in worship, Jesus said this clearly: “ Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind.
You could dance very well in the church, attend all the prayer meetings and Bible studies and still not be intimate with God because you have not given God all your heart.
He wants  your heart,  your soul, your strength, and all your mind. 
Any areas of your life you’ve reserved for yourself is an act of disobedience to God. 

Intimacy with God means giving all of yourself and be sold out to God

This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me. 
Matt 15:8-9

In fact, God told the Israelites that they were wasting their time in worship because their hearts were far from God.

Is your heart far from God? Repent, God hates hypocrisy, God is more concerned about your motive than your actions

And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart. 
2Chro25:2
He did what which is right before everyone, he was being celebrated for doing the right thing but he did them in pretence and God who looks at the heart saw hypocracy in him.

It's time you stopped pretending, 
God desires to have fellowship with you, and He needs your presence daily in His Holy of Holies, it should be your daily destination.
It’s one thing to talk a about wanting to know God, but how desperately are you about knowing God? How sincere are you?
