Singleness of Heart

 

Text: Ezekiel 11:19 (KJV)           
                                       

And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh.

Friends, a double minded heart is a huge challenge in a world full of confusion. It is important we develop a single hearted mind that make us to remain focus on God alone because there are a several alternatives that pose to stand against our confidence in God. So, this is a heart fully devoted on God alone. It is an undivided allegiance to the love, purpose and plan of God as we pursue destiny. Hence, we do all to honour God without looking back.  It is a heart focused on God and not torn into pieces with worldly affairs which has brought about distraction in life. Remember, it is the spirit of God that makes our heart tender. Deuteronomy 6:5
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

Interestingly, from the scripture above, God promises to give us one heart with His spirit. In this case you cannot be influence by negativity because you are knitted with God. Psalm 86:11 Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.  Yes, it is not a heart driven by ambition or the opinion of men that brings about comparism and competition, rather a single heart that is solely for the Lord in all ramification. Eph 6:5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ. Therefore, it is the spirit of God that can transform a hardened heart to a heart of flesh if only we can yield to Him. I pray we shall be controlled by His spirit in obedience, love etc and not self-centeredness as it common in our time. I encourage us to focus Christ today in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1. Father, help us to always return to God no matter the challenges of our time as we remain single hearted to our creator in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, you can be wholly committed if we surrender all to Jesus.
