What one thinks is what one asks.
Do you want a heart for God?
One with a desperate heart to live life for the glory of God shall experience the backing of the good hand of God.
No heart activity is hidden from God.\u00a0Psalm 44:21\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>buttresses,\u00a0\u201c\u2026God knows the secret of the heart.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>The Bible records about heart,\u00a0\u201cThe spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all the inner depths of his heart.\u201d (Proverbs 20:27)<\/em><\/strong>
How is your heart desperate for the glory of God?\u00a0
Daniel\u2019s heart was desperate to live life for the glory of God and God\u2019s hand backed him to do great exploits for the glory of God.\u00a0Daniel 1:8<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0states,\u00a0\u201cDaniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king\u2019s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore, he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
Daniel purposed in his heart for God\u2019s glory and he lived life to do great exploit (Daniel 11:32)\u00a0
How is it with your heart that is not hidden from God?\u00a0
It is important to know that,\u00a0\u201cAs in water face reflects face, so a man\u2019s heart reveals the man.\u201d (Proverbs 27:19)<\/em><\/strong>
How is your heart desperate for the glory of God?\u00a0
Imagine Nehemiah a cup-bearer\u2019s heart activity.
The heart of Nehemiah was with genuine concern for Jerusalem\u2019s welfare but not for self-interest. Nehemiah was a cupbearer with a desperate heart for a better life for his brethren.
It is clear in the heart of Nehemiah for God to see his desperate desire, touching lives for the glory of God.\u00a0
God invested in Nehemiah as a vessel for reconstructing the broken wall of Jerusalem.\u00a0
The report of what was going on in Jerusalem caused a burden in Nehemiah\u2019s heart and he began to intercede on behalf of the land and his people. The bible records in\u00a0Nehemiah 1:3-4, \u201cAnd they said to me, \u2018The survivors who are left from the captivity in the province are there in great distress and reproach. The wall of Jerusalem is also broken down, and its gates are burned with fire.\u2019 So it was, when I heard these words that I sat down and wept, and mourned for many days; I was fasting and praying before the God of heaven.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Nehemiah poured out his heart in prayer on behalf of his people and his homeland. He asked for nothing that had to do with self-interest, but rather petitioned for things that had to do with a better life for his people.\u00a0
A believer should need a heart for God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
