***PURE HEART IS THE CRITERION TO SEE GOD*** Daily Dose: Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.#Matthew 5:8# Whatever that comes out from the mouth of our Lord Jesus is very vital to note. Jesus knew that the qualification to see God is a Pure heart. Jesus also knew the heart of the people He was addressing, He knew that right from the time God created the earth,the heart of man is evil, He knew his heart is desperately wicked(Genesis 6:5, Jeremiah 17:9) and the only solution is to keep the heart PURE. Christians(Im included) nowadays, are we paying notice to our hearts? Are we observing our hearts? Let everyone examine himself/herself whether he/she is still in faith(2 Corinthians 13:5). Im very trouble in writing this thing here today because I felt Im guilty of this too. Many of us are carrying impure heart to Church, Fellowship, Prayer meeting, Our prayer altar, etc, and we want a change in our lives, can this be possible except we examine the state of our hearts. ...HEART IS DECEITFUL, WHO CAN KNOW IT?... Please, dont deceive yourself if you heart is not in tune with God. When someone heart is not Pure, he is carrying about curse,(Matthew 5:8). HEART is the seat where all reasoning begins, IT is the centre part where imagination comed from. Can we now see that our mind nerd renewal every time, if only we want to see God. ....PURE IN HEART...this simply mean, a heart that is free of filthiness, grudges, malice, unforgiveness, pride, evil concupiscence/ thoughts, and the likes. Is your heart pure? Is your motive this morning to your neighbor, Is it good? Are you not plotting evil against your friends? Are you not keeping malice? Do you have forgiving heart? Check yourself! ....PURE IN HEART.... is a heart that it affections are set on things above, (Colossians 3;2). We need Pure heart to see God. ...SEEING GOD...simply mean, to enter the kingdom of God. FOR MY GOD IS PURE AND HOLY, NOTHING DIRTY CAN COME NEAR HIM! NO PURE HEART, NO SEEING GOD.NO SEEING GOD, NO ENTRY TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. No wonder the Psalmist said, who shall ascend to the holy hill of God, the one who has clean hands and a PURE heart,(Psalm 24;4-5). If we know truly that we are craving to see the kingdom of God, lets return to God and repent our way back to HIM with the help of HOLY SPIRIT .It is very important to have a pure heart. Pray this prayer: Father, create in me a clean heart and renew your Spirit in me. God will answer in Jesus name, IT IS WELL! Bible Direct: Psalm 51:10-11. Damilola Olayera 2014.
