Text: 1Chro 28:9
(KJV)
And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the
God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind:
for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of
the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake
him, he will cast thee off forever.
Friends, God searches our heart and weighs the intent
of our dedication and commitment daily. He sees all both inside and outside of
our thoughts and that is why we must learn to serve Him with our all for a
willing heart that comes with love and gratitude. Therefore, willingness in our
offering is what brings about an acceptable service with rewards. Today, many
are serving grudgingly and some with eye service to please may be the man of
God or their boss etc. This cannot yield joy and rejoicing. Serve
the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.” — Psalm 100:2 (KJV). Hence, to offer willingly, we must work with a
perfect heart as it attracts great joy with great blessings. However, God sees
the posture and actions from our heart.
Interestingly,
for you to serve willingly, we must recognize that all things come from the
Lord and we are giving back to Him and not to any man. Whatsoever
ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” — Colossians 3:23 So, do well to offer not some but all with a willing
intent and not reluctantly in fear. Remember, the Lord tries the heart and have
pleasure in uprightness of our hearts, in that, God sees joy with a present from
a willing heart. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the
good of the land. — Isaiah 1:19. I pray we shall learn to give willingly to the service
of the Lord in Jesus name.
PRAYER POINT:
1. Father, give us a perfect heart
that make our minds a yielded vessel for the work of the Lord in Jesus name.
ACTION QUOTE: Remember to prepare your
heart for a willing service.
