"Talk no more so very proudly, let no arrogance come from your mouth, for the Lord is the God of knowledge and by Him actions are weighed."1 Samuel 2.3Our intentions, thoughts and words are weighed and determine our character before God.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, remains hidden from Him.
Haughty eyes, proud hearts and all other kinds of sins will not go unpunished.
Depart from evil and do good, and dwell forevermore. Psalm 37.27
A proud heart cannot pleases God. If a person manifest a character that is not from God, then He or she will forever dwell in sin, if the intention to change isn't there. Many times we see people pray, fast and make purposes for their situation to change. Instead, their life sometimes become worse than before, because of their wrong intentions. They show outside that they wanted to change,but deep inside they do not wanted to change. They are move by emotional faith. We sometimes can see this clearly by the fruit that this person bears.
ReplyDeleteSomething new i learned today, what ever we say maybe without thinking is what is in our hearts, don't let you heart be deceitful.
ReplyDeleteAs it is stated, "Nothing, absolutely nothing, remains hidden from God". This is when we realize we are changing, when what we do infront of others and BEHIND CLOSED DOORS does MATTER! And we are conscience it matters because GOD MATTERS! God bless!
ReplyDeleteI've learned that it is very important to be watchful about how we are INSIDE and OUT and QUICKLY REMOVE all the dirtiness that we have inside and outside of us. Thanks Dona.

HI MRS ESTER
ReplyDeletefor someone to be right before God, its for them to be sincere, to remove the pride an the arrogance and to be sincere and act on the word of God. I hade to do this to be sincere and put my pride aside and still do.

Thank you

We must not allow people or attitudes of ourselves to effect the actions we take because every action taken will be judged. Instead we should think intelligently whether the action we took is correct.
ReplyDeleteWhat I got from this is that God knows our hearts..even more than we do. He knows the secrets, the thoughts and intentions of our heart So we cannot hide nothing from Him. We may be able to fool people with our words and actions but nothing is hidden from God. So best thing to do is to always be sincere with yourself and with God.
ReplyDeleteOur body is the temple of God and everything in it should be kept holy. Our words should be few but full of blessings, our thoughts pure, yes at time we see things we are not suppose to but we should rebuke all evil in our lives. God knows knows it all but one should really keep themselves far from all sorts of evil and concentrate on God the pioneer of our lives.

ReplyDeleteGod knows everything that goes on inside our heart in particular, sometimes we have to destroy and put aside pride ... because it destroys, we must be more humble, sincere and always look favorably upon the things around us because of this that God is pleased, the word is very powerful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mrs. Esther for this post.
God knows every thing in this world, our heart,soul,mind and even our whole life. He knew it! If there is something in us that's not pleasing Him we must depart in, throw it, and abandon. It's not easy to change but if we want to please God we need to change for the other people to see the character of God in us.

ReplyDeleteI believe in that so much, and I pray to God that every day of my life I will depart from evil
God bless you
Hi Dona,
ReplyDeleteGod knows everything!
our thoughts, actions, intentions, etc.
As human beings we cannot be perfect and will never be. But we must always check ourselves, and improve it. But these things will be impossible without the strength of our God.

Thanks 2 God that He sees all things, knows our hearts and thoughts more than anyone else, we can never deceive Him. He knows all our intentions and we can be fake to the people around us but at the end of the day God sees all and knows all and will judge us accordingly. He is just and fair, all that has been hidden will be revealed one day. Lets stop deceiving ourselves.

ReplyDeleteA PROUD HEART IS NEVER PLEASING BEFORE THE EYES OF GOD,THE CHARACTER OF A SERVANT IS HUMBLENESS. ONE MAY THINK THAT THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT AND NO ONE WILL KNOW YES NO ONE WILL BUT GOD'S EYES ARE EVERYWHERE SO YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU LIVE A CLEAN AND PURE LIFE AT ALL TIMES DO NOT BE INFLUEANCED BY THE ENVIROMENT.
Hi Mrs Ester,many times we ignore the fact that pride(arrogance)is from the devil,if we do not depart from that and evil ways, we end up being his children, even though we are still in the church.We must start examining ourselves.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
This is what people forget or the choose to ignore the fact that its not about what people think or what the pastor sees you do but who you are infront of God. He is the only one who can see inside our hearts and knows who we really are.
ReplyDeleteHi Ms Ester,
ReplyDeleteGod knows and sees everything what man can and cannot see. It's not just about what we do on the outside but it is also about our actions on the Inside.
Thank you for the message
Dear Mrs Ester,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this message and really our actions are weighed and our actions best determines our character before God and before men. God knows our every action whether good or bad. Our actions must please God
My prayer is always for God to clean my thoughts... Before my thoughts were a big problem because I did not have the understanding that the devil always tries to bring the wrong things to our minds. But then I received the understanding that no matter what, God always sees the intention of our hearts. Every single day, I watch myself and I tell you it is a battle... Thank you for this blog post :-)

ReplyDeleteThis is something that I has to work on in the past. Now I have to learn when to use my mouth and be careful how I say things. I have come all way. But now I have to learn to put my mouth into good use to do the work of God.
It is important that we remember that God is watching our actions and listening to our thoughts. We will always be put in situations that can lead us astray. But if we are constantly seeking God, we will instantly recognise that we are about to fall.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this message Mrs Ester.
