FAITH CAPSULE:It is your heart that God wants to meet before He commits into your hand great feats.

Daniel 1, Acts 5:1-11

It is written, “But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet. But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? (Acts 5:1-3) Ananias and Sapphira died a cheap and untimely dearth. It is important that you give your heart a procedure that will remove every thought that is not right, that is negative and that is not fruitful to the glory of God. The thinking that you carry out in your heart is what will determine your future on the face of the earth. The word confirms this in the book of Proverbs 4:23 “Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.” It is clear that in all that you keep with diligence, your heart should be number one. Keep your heart meticulously clean or wickedness will reap through it. The testimony of Daniel’s life of exploit was rooted in the operation of his heart. It is written, “But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief eunuchs that he might not defile himself.” (Daniel 1:8) Daniel’s operation of the heart made all the difference in his life when he purposed in his heart to do his all for the glory of the Lord. God established him like no any other one through the pages of the scripture. What is lurking inside your heart? That which you harbor in your heart will make all the difference in your life. Will you be singled out as a giant in the hand of the Lord or will you forsake your calling to adhere to the world? It is your heart that God wants to meet before He commits into your hand great feats. 2Chronicles16:9, “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars.” What His eyes are looking for throughout the earth is not what your eyes or any eye can see. His eyes look for the heart that is loyal to Him. In your heart think or meditate on what glorifies God then great exploitation will be yours.

Prayer for today: Ask God to put His fear in your heart that you may dwell in His secret place and abide under His shadow.
