The hypocrite heart...!

Jeremiah 42:20-21 NKJV

For you were hypocrites in your hearts when you sent me to the Lord your God, saying, ‘Pray for us to the Lord our God, and according to all that the Lord your God says, so declare to us and we will do it. ’ And I have this day declared it to you, but you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, or anything which He has sent you by me.

† Shalom †......! Day #338. Do you know that at times we ask the servants of God to pray for us, but when they have prayed and give us a Word from God, we do not follow or live by it? Let's pray. Father, forgive us for being a hypocrite. We ask You to speak to us, but when You have spoken, we do not follow or live by what You have declared to us. Forgive us Lord. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Folks, many at times ask prayers from pastors, leaders, friends and fellow church members. It is a good things that we encourage and pray for each other. Sometimes we asked them to uphold us in their prayers for some situations we are going through,  or may be sickness or maybe for God's divine intervention upon the things we want to do. But sometimes, what I don't understand is that when the Lord has spoken either to the pastor, friends, leaders and so on, we refuse to take heed of that word. We think "nahhh it's OK" God will not punish me if I didn't follow what He has instructed. It is NOT OK...! We are being a hypocrite! The heart of a hypocrite. This kind of attitude will never take us anywhere but to the drain.

For example, a guy likes a girl so much so that he did not pray about that relationship but he continued on, then when the time comes for him to pray for God's guidance in the relationship and he asks a maybe his pastor to pray and to give a word, so when God has spoken saying that "I want you to come out of that relationship...and so on" and yet that guy after hearing it he still continues in the relationship refusing to take heed of His word,until something really bad happened one day then he blames God for allowing it to happen. Is this something familiar to you? Am I speaking something real? I hope so! This situation is applicable to girls as well. You see folks, this is what the prophet Jeremiah is trying to warn us. This is what hypocrisy is. This is what we are doing! It could be in any situation we are in, either for business,  life partner, ministry you name it... When God speaks, be quick to listen and do. Don't just listen and you refuse to do. The hypocrite heart....

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
