After The Heart of God

1 Samuel 13-14

The forerunners of the greatest move of God  ever to penetrate the face of the earth are not only young , dark and handsome men and beautiful women but they are also those that are after the plan, desire, passion, and will of God upon the earth.

When the children of Israel demand for a king in the book of 1 Samuel, in demanding for a king in the same comparison like the kings of the like the kings of the other nations what they do not realize is that they have rejected the God who rescued them out of Egypt and out of trouble when they was no one to help them.

And when the children of Israel reject God he is neither  shocked nor surprised because before they rejected him they had already abandoned him for other gods and idols.

It’s a critical piece right here because often times than not we hang out with folk, we sleep with people, we share with people, we love on people, we sacrifice for people, we cheer for people, we help people, we celebrate people, we give our best to people, we give our trust to people who reject us in just a nick of time and we get disappointed and crushed.

Till we realize painfully that the reason why we have been denied and rejected by the people we loved is because their hearts were never with us but towards somewhere else.

You have been rejected by people who said they loved you only because they were compelled to convince you that they loved you so that they can get closer to the thing they were interested in which obviously not you but what they believed you can offer.

The intents of the heart are always but hidden everyone is ignorant about them except for God who knows how to examine the intentions of man’s hearts.

In choosing Saul as king over Israel God does not choose from his heart but he rather makes a choice who to be king of Israel in –line with the desires passions, and plan of the people.

In other wards Saul was not who  God wanted but he chooses him to be king of Israel because he found out that it was a man after the manner and make of Saul that the people desired as king.

Little wonder majority of Israel celebrated upon seeing Saul as their king for the first time.

However God rejected Saul as king after it came to bear that his desires and passions were far from the heart of God. 

And hence God sought out a man after his own heart.

My dear friends we live in the days of God’s appointed time for God’s appointed one’s and we operate in times when God is appointing men and women to be leaders who will usher the people of God into the canyons of God’s glory.

And the kind of leaders that God is appointing are those that are after his own heart, a unique and extraordinary bunch of people who do not seek after their own passions, will and desires in the earth.

But all their desiring is of God and God alone, all they are seeking after is the glory of God and they are not just seeking but they are also paying the price necessary to the effect.

When you compare David and Saul you will yet realize that the desperate is huge.

Saul comes from a wealthy family and David from a poor background. David spent most of his time with sheep but Saul spent most of his time with donkeys.

Donkeys are known for their outstanding foolishness while sheep are known for their outstanding meekness.

The aforementioned may not be so critical but the truth is that Saul is smart and neat and David‘s physical outlook is far from smart and neat.

Saul has a great physical appeal and David has less but none the less David has a heart of God.

In order for anyone to go after the heart of God it must begin with a conversation with God. A conversation with actually reveals the plan of God which eventually becomes the seeker’s own plan for life.

David is appointed of God because he can praise God for a plan that has not even takes place in the natural and worship God for the result of a plan that has not even surfaced upon the earth.

If you can praise and worship God when everything you have believed God for is flying off in the opposite direction then you better know that you have been appointed and anointed to believe and trust God for the miraculous and God will never fail to deliver.

God has appointed dark and handsome young men and beautiful women who will walk in his passion, will and plan even when it causes them to shed tears of pain, even when it puts them in a place where they find themselves all alone with no one to talk to because no one seems to understand what they are going through.

He has appointed men who will continue in his will even after experiencing several episodes of disappointment but they just keep on moving in the plan of God because they have believed that somehow 

God will make everything alright.

 God is appointing men and women who won’t be turned around by what they see and hear in the natural because they are after the heart of God and their hearing and seeing is more sensitive to the spirit of God that what goes on in the natural.

The sign that you have been appointed by God is when men keep on rejecting you because you have a different passion from the passion they hold.

They just want to have a conversation about girls and themselves yet you want to have a conversation with God and about God.

They do not seem to get you and understand you because your heart is after the heart of God
