1Sam13:14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his
own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee. King Saul knew the will of God, but he decided to change it to fit his desires ,he added his desires to God’s will. Brethrens It's not enough just to know God's will, we need to continue to seek the Lord until we know God's plan for accomplishing that will. If we are not keen about obeying God to the letters then our heart are not with him. Your heart is not with God by your words but by your attitude and by your action. The kingdom of God and the will of God are inseparable Mathew 6:10, Samuel instructs King Saul to go to Gilgal and wait for him there seven days in order that the prophet could offer burnt offerings. The Philistines were gathering against Israel with three thousand chariots and soldiers as numerous as the sand on the seashore. Those who stood loyal were frightened and desperate. Saul thought he could wait no longer. He offered the burnt offerings, hoping that God would understand and accept his human worship. Samuel arrived just as the burnt offerings were finished. He said, “What have you done?” (1 Samuel 13:11-12).
We, like King Saul, have done too much thinking and not enough waiting in prayers before our Lord when trouble strikes. We spent little time in church, we lay our plans and programs for Gods approval for solving the problems facing us, then spend a few minutes in the presence of the Father asking Him to bless our best effort. We then go about our business out of human thought, human effort, and human experience. We overlook seeking the face of God to his perfect will for our life in what we are passing through. People are more interested in having their needs met than seeking the face of God. Prayer is not just for receiving things from God and having our needs met; prayer is basically for meeting with God. one major reason God put up the Friday programme of prayer is so that we can meet with Him and have fellowship with Him. It is in the process of beholding His face that you get to know Him better. And when you know God, no other knowledge will threaten you, when you see His face no other face can harass you, when you hear His voice, the voice of doubt will die. Beholding the face of God is the end of all confusion and shame. Don’t be like king soul he played short cuts to survive and they cut him off his kingship. One day I heard from the Lord saying: they are interested in what I have but not in me. Choose to seek God and love and fellowship with him like King David.
Mat 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto
me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. In on other words where your
money go most is where your heart is.
