Hardness of Heart< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Exodus 7:1-7, 1 Thessalonians 3:1-5

There is a proverb that says, ÒA dog that wants to get lost will not listen to hear the whistle of direction from the lost path.Ó In the case of Pharaoh, he heard and he saw all the hand of God, in complete power, being demonstrated right before his eyes. Pharaoh did not listen to what Moses had to say for the release of the children of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Israel from the bondage of Egypt. Actually, it was not PharaohÕs fault except that he happened to be a vessel of dishonor. Exodus 7:3, ÒAnd I will hardened PharaohÕs heart, and multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt.Ó Pharaoh did see so many miracles which was enough for him to let the Israelites go, but he refused to grant them exit out of Egypt because God hardened his heart. You have seen multiples of miracles from the time you were growing up, and you are still seeing so many miracles, yet you find it difficult to let God have His way in your life. Have you ever thought of what is wrong with your heart? You have determined numerous times to turn it all to Him, but is not working. Indeed, determination will not work, and it will fail. If you sincerely desire to give it all to Him, enter into your prayer room and begin to ask Him for help. You can take to PaulÕs prayer in 2 Thessalonians 3:5, ÒNow may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of ChristÓ It is evident that God is the director of the heart. He alone will choose to direct it for you to love Him or to play hard. Desire the good one for yourself and He will deposit it in you.
