Seeking the purpose of God 4

We must pray and continually ask God’s will to be done.

‭‭Luke 18:1 NLT‬‬

[1] One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up.

The devil constantly tries to undermine the purpose and plans of God, and the prayer of the believer is the weapon (amongst others) to defeat the enemy.

Talking to God like a friend– the dialogue

In my previous post, I emphasized that God is not a mysterious being that you cannot approach neither is He hidden in a place that you cannot come near. 

I said that He is your friend and also your heavenly Father. So, be free to say it all.
He hears everything.

I also said that those who spend more time talking to God acquire depths of His understanding and His ways and must be respected and revered. The reason is that they represent God and are often His messengers.

Lastly, I said Avoid distraction! We often focus on talking to people at the workplace and different places in our lives and usually give them undivided attention. Give God your heart and mind.

In my final post, I am saying that you should turn your conversation into a dialogue. Wait on God intermittently to hear Him speak a word to you. Be keen on what He is going to tell you. 

Look for insight into His word. There are possibilities of scripture flashing through your mind. Take a pause and search the word as it comes alive in your mind.

As you talk to God, He is also willing to speak to you. So, allow Him to say something to you too.

God is closer than we can imagine, and He is willing to engage in a conversation with us.

The closer we are to God, the better our relationship is.

 

Once enemy but now Friend Forever

God’s plan of salvation was designed to make us all have equal opportunity for redemption. We were once God’s enemy–people who do not appreciate God.

Yet, the moment we accept Him, we become part of Him; part of His family.
We have established that God loves us regardless of our actions. Most interesting is that even when we are His enemy and we do not think of Him at all, He is constantly reaching out to us in one way or the other. He is hoping that we will find the truth and be free.

God’s basis for accepting us at anytime as little to do with us being good or bad, or being a former hater of Him or lover of Him.

The moment we commit to God,  we become His. We become his friend forever.

So, if you are A Lover of God, you are His Friend forever. You are His forever.
