WARFARE DAILY DEVOTION

THEME: WALKING CLOSELY WITH JESUS 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 once your heart is far from God it will be very difficult for you to be close Him.

Jesus needs all your heart, all thy soul, all thy strength, and all your mind. 

Any area of your life you’ve reserved for yourself is amount to disobedience to God. 

Closeness means giving all of yourself to God or being 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 is right before everyone, he was being celebrated for doing what is right but he did them in pretence and God who looks at the heart saw hypocrisy in him.

It's time you stopped pretending, 

God desires your closeness to Him and He wants your presence daily, it should be your daily destination.

God wants your commitment, your unreserved dedication, are you ready?

To give your life to Jesus is the most easiest thing to do but to be in close relationship with Jesus will cost you, it will cost you to withdraw from some relationship, it will cost you to do away with some habits, it will cost you to do away with some business deal and many more, but relationship with Jesus is the sweetest thing can enjoy earth.
