Strive To Become Intimately Acquainted With God

‘All I want is to know Christ and the power that raised Him to life.' Philippians 3:10 CEV

It's one thing to know about God, but it's entirely another thing to know Him intimately. Take a moment and examine your life today. Has your walk with God slowed to a crawl? Are you running on empty? A full tank is only possible by making regular visits to the fuel pump; that means paying attention to your fuel gauge. And a full tank doesn't just happen; it requires vigilance, commitment and action. Your flesh will work against you every day, and adverse circumstances will come to discourage you. Even those close to you may misunderstand your new spiritual priorities.

If it was easy, anyone could do it. The prize goes to those who can say like Paul: ‘I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised Him from the dead. I want to suffer with Him, sharing in His death, so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!' ( NLT)

The Bible tells us, ‘The man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame.' (Genesis 2:25 NLT) That's physical intimacy! But the ultimate intimacy is not between a man and woman; it's with God! And Paul didn't just pray for it; he pursued it with all his heart. Nothing was more important to him.

How about you? Do you sing God's praises in church with a mind that's elsewhere? Have you become so critical around others that you sound like an unbeliever? Have you allowed sinful habits to rob you of your confidence towards God? If you have, you must do something about it! Starting today, strive to become intimately acquainted with God.

SoulFood: 2 Sam 3:22-7:17, John 1:43-51, Ps 23, Pr 23:4-5

Jesus says to her, Mary. She, turning around, ...


Jesus says to her, Mary. She, turning around, says to Him in Hebrew, Rabboni, which means Teacher. Jesus says to her, Touch Me not, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, I ascend to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.

by Pastor E.A Adeboye

PROVOKING POSITIVE CHANGE

Change is one event that is constant in life. Change denotes movement from one state to another. There are two categories of change: positive and negative. Due to the fact that change can either be positive or negative, Africans would say: "Change is good for the poor but bad for the rich". Change in life is...More
