Psalm 24:3-4 says
that, “Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who shall stand in His holy
place? He that hath clean hands and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his
soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.” One of the requirements of being
blessed by God is clean hands and a pure heart and we all know that it is only
the blessing of that Lord that makes rich without adding any sorrow to it.
Someone said
that if some people’s heart should be opened, you would see venomous and
dangerous animals in there; in other words their hearts are so full of evil. What
is a pure heart? A pure heart is a heart free of bitterness, wrath, anger,
clamour, evil speaking and malice. It is a tender heart full of forgiveness and
love for all. A pure heart is a heart governed by the Holy Ghost.
Jesus said in
Matt 5:8 that, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” It then
means, cursed are the impure in heart for they shall see Satan. The heart is
vital when relating with God. That is why God told Samuel that man looks at the
eyes but God looks at the heart. In order words, if you like, cry your life out
during a worship session or pray the loudest if you like, if your heart is not
pure, those might just be some spiritual jamboree.
I have discovered
that of a truth as a man thinks in his heart, so he is. As a matter of fact, as
a man thinks towards his fellow man, so he is. Haman’s thought of heart towards
Mordecai was evil, but he ended up getting served with that evil. Pharaoh also.
I decree that anyone whose heart is devising evil against you shall be the same
to enjoy that evil even in seven folds in Jesus Name. Before you say Amen, what
is the state of your own heart towards others?
