THEME: WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE OF HEART?
TEXT: Daniel 1:8
8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
MEMORY VERSE : The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9
MESSAGE:
The victory of every battle is always fought and won in the heart before it manifests physically. At times you hear people say, ‘I made up my mind to do this or that and I achieved it.’ The mind has to be made up first. If a man is defeated in the heart, forget it. Such a man cannot achieve anything. That is why people fail in business, career or even ministry.
In our text above, Daniel purposed in his heart not to defile himself with the king’s meat or wine. After the days appointed by the king, the 4 Hebrew children were tested and they were found to be ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers in Babylon. Brethren, the victory of these four Hebrew boys was won the very day they made up their minds not to defile themselves and this manifested physically after the appointed days. Through this devotional today, I want you to make up your mind in whatever you want to do. In the service of God, make up your mind and believe you will make it in serving God righteously. Some people will say ‘no’ man can be holy or righteous but only God. And so, because of this misconception, you see such people wallowing in sin and iniquity. You can never get such people to be born-again. The same goes for people in business, education or other endeavours. Those who believe and trust what God of Chosen can do are always giving testimonies but for those who came for trial and error will be here for many years, yet without anything because of the purpose of their heart. That is why our memory verse for today says, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Only God knows the heart of every man and rewards the man according to the purpose of his heart. I counsel you through this devotional today to maintain a rightful heart before God. That is only when God will give you victory, as He gave the four Hebrew boys in Daniel 1:20.
PRAYER POINTS:
• Pray for a rightful and purposeful heart before God.
• Pray that you will face every endeavour expecting to be victorious at the end.
AMEND YOUR WAYS:
If you are not born again you must do something as a matter of urgency. He that commits sin is of the devil (1 John 3:8).
If you are into lying, cheating, bitterness, keeping malice, pride, manifesting anger, quarreling, unforgiveness, hatred, envy, contention, strife, gossiping, taking or giving bribe, selfishness,
kidnapping. If you are into masturbation, fornication, adultery, prostitution, abortion, lesbianism, homosexuality, you need to repent.
Are you into idolatry, do you make or use charms, rituals, bow down to images, Are you into occultism?
Do you smoke cigarette, cocaine, heroine? Are you lusting, covetous, alcohol drinking, divorcee or into worldliness?, you must stop bleaching your body, or painting your lips, eyes, fixing attachments, weave-on, earrings (Gen 35:2-4)
Are you one of those that put on nude dresses, short skirts, transparent dresses to seduce
(A seducer is not a Christian) do you wear trouser as a woman?
Repent and give your life to Jesus Christ.
LET'S PRAY:
If you want to give your life to JESUS pray this short prayer with me:
Almighty God, I come unto you in the name of Jesus. Father I confess that I am a sinner. All my sins I confess to you. I am very sorry for all my sins.
Lord I promise you that from today I will never continue in them anymore.
I believe that Jesus Christ died and rose again on the third day for my justification. Almighty God, use the blood of Jesus to wash my sins away. Lord Jesus, come into my heart, be my Lord and Personal Savior.
I surrender my life to you.
Cancel my name from the book of death and give me grace to make Heaven. AMEN!
