2 Chronicles 16:9. For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support

• Those who are doing their very best to live a Christian life?
• Those who are always actively involved in their local church?
• Those who are ordained to be reverends, pastors or priests?
• Those whose heart is completely His?

‘Those whose heart is completely His’. This is the Lord’s one and only requirement. Jesus made this quite plain to all who have ears to hear. He told the rich young ruler, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” Matthew 19:21. NKJV. The young man chose his ‘great possessions’ rather than parting with them in order to follow Jesus.

If our heart is to be completely the Lord’s then it must be completely empty of everything that competes with Him for our attention – fame, fortune, friends and family, to name but a few.

Luke 14:26-27. “If you want to be my follower you must love me more than your own father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters – yes, more than your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple. And you cannot be my disciple if you do not carry your own cross and follow me.” NLT
