The Lord Sees the Heart

 

Dear beloved: Pics: Hilary pretending to go to school; Children's Funday, Elizabeth teaching

1 Samuel 16:1 Now the Lord said to Samuel, "How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons.  v7 But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not look at Eliab's appearance or his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. v13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed David in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah. 

Beloved, the world is full of pretenders. In the above picture, our boy Hilary was pretending to go to school. He is only two years, but he felt very bad because the other children had all gone to school and he was left behind. The Bible says, "the king's heart is in the hands of the Lord, like rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes." (Proverbs 21:1)  For many years after Saul was rejected as king, he pretended to be king, even sat in the office.  The true king, the Lord's anointed, was on the run as the pretender was trying to kill him. Eventually, the demise of Saul came to the point where he even fell on his own sword in battle,  After that the Lord opened the doors for the anointed, King David, to take his place as the rightful ruler of the nation of Israel, first in Hebron for seven years, and then in Jerusalem for thirty three years.  Let everyone who has ears to hear, listen and understand what the Lord is doing. Beloved, we invite you to partner with Gather the Outcasts Ministry here in Africa as we teach and preach the good news of the gospel to this lost generation.  These poor people in Kenya need hope, and there is no other besides Jesus Christ the Messiah.  We are also in our 19th year of preaching the good news on FM radio in the USA. May the increase of His government never end!  Pray about your part.  May God bless you as you pray!
