When you are chosen for an assignment, it has to be a priority in your heart. There are two stories in the Bible that exemplify two really important heart tests. When God called Abraham to become the father of many nations, that was a really big promotion. God made certain promises to Abraham and told him that He would make his name great. Abraham was preparing for promotion, and then came the ultimate test. God told him to sacrifice his son Isaac and gave him very specific instructions. He was to walk up the mountain, put his son on the altar, and kill him. Wow! What a test!
As a chosen vessel, the heart test is always going to require some sacrifice on your part. It may be your money, time, or something that you love, but promotion comes when you are willing. Abraham cherished his son, but he was obedient to the instructions he was given. When Abraham passed the heart test, God not only spared his son, but also He fulfilled His promise.
Your heart is the birthplace of your increase. Every successful person has had a heart test. If Abraham had not passed the heart test, he would never have experienced increase to become “the father of many nations.” He would have stayed in the potential category.
The second story is about King Solomon. He was the wealthiest and wisest man who ever lived. With all his wisdom, I believe he became intoxicated from his own success. Solomon was instructed not to marry foreign women because they would turn his heart away from the Lord. Solomon was disobedient, and that’s exactly what happened
Solomon’s heart wasn’t committed to God. He failed the heart test and experienced a major decrease in his life. One failed instruction can have lifetime consequences. Every successful person gets in tough predicaments and has to make hard, character-revealing decisions.
Your heart is also the birthplace of decrease. You must be intentional about guarding your heart and being obedient to the instructions of God. Then you will be on your way to experiencing increase instead of decrease in every area of your life. This is a major test to pass on the way to becoming who you were meant to be.
