And the Lord said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in carrying out what is right in my eyes, and have done to the house of Ahab according to all that was in my heart, your sons of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.” (ESV) 2 Kings 10:30
God rewarded Jehu for carrying out what is right in God’s eyes and fulfilling what is in God’s heart toward Ahab’s family. In other words, Jehu knew the heart of God and he just carried out the heart of God through his life. Jehu fulfilled God’s will, desire and plan. It is God’s desire about everyone that we would know His heart and carry out it on this earth. When we do this, God trusts us and gives us unusual favor upon us. God is always searching men and women who are after his own heart like David. In David’s case also, you may see God is giving unusual favor to him. Moreover, we bring blessings to our generations when we just carry out God’s heart on this earth. Jesus prayed that not my will but thy will be done. He taught us to pray that your will may be done on earth as it is in heaven. God rejoices over people who know his heart and do things according to his heart. Be a person who is after God’s own heart.
Since we learned about hearing God, I want to encourage you to pray and ask God’s heart for your everyday matters and also for your life purpose. Whatever God speaks to you personally, write down and pray over them.
