What is your motive in what you are doing now? Examine yourself!

Text: 2 Chronicles 25:2.
King Amaziah did all that was right in the sight of the lord but not with a perfect heart. Why do I go to church? Why did I say what I said? Why did I do this or that? The motive in your heart for doing more than what actually you did , is what commands supernatural attention .In Proverbs 15:3, we are told that God’s eyes is in every where beholding the good and the evil and in 2 Chronicles 16:9, we are told that God’s eyes is moving to and fro all over the earth to make himself strong on those whose heart is perfect towards him. God’s eyes are all over the earth to see the motivation in the hearts of men. Deuteronomy 8:2 tells us that God led the children of Israel through the wilderness for forty years to know what was in their heart, whether they would seek for his glory and rely on him or rely on themselves or seek their gown glory..
Our prayers are sometimes delayed because our motivation is wrong (James 4:3). Our tithing and offering and charitable activities sometimes do not command the expected harvest because our motivation is wrong. We should have one and only singular motive! Love of God and men all to the glory of God (2Corinthians 10:31, Colossians 3:17)
All God’s blessings are predicated on our response to the love He had shown to us by sending His only begotten Son to suffer and die to redeem us from our iniquities, and the glorious resurrection to make us walk in the newness of life.(John 3:16, Acts 3:26, 1 Corinthians 2:9, 13:3, Psalm 91:14, Proverbs 23:26)
