Divine Qualification

“But the LORD said to him, "Pay no attention to how tall and handsome he is. I have rejected him, because I do not judge as people judge. They look at the outward appearance, but I look at the heart."” 1 Samuel 16:7 (GNB)

God will not reject you in Jesus name. God looks at the heart to qualify a man. What does God look for in the heart of a man to qualify him? What did He see in the heart of Eliab that made God to reject him?

In 1 Samuel 15:17, God told us why He qualified Saul to be king over Israel: because he was humble at heart. When Saul considered himself of no importance, God qualified him and made him a king. God resists the proud but shows favor to the humble” 1Peter 5:5. It became clear that Eliab was rejected because of the pride in his heart.

Beloved, you are what you are today because God favored you. There are many who are as hard working as you are, have the same qualification, can also pray well but yet nothing is working for them. Give God the glory and remain humble before Him, so that he can lift you the more. Grace or divine favor is only for the humble. Pride brings destruction.

God will take you to the next level in Jesus name.
