In my post last week, I shared with you what my letter to God looked like. I poured out my heart asking from God deeper understanding of Him.
If you missed that post, you can have a read here.
In as much as I want more depth in my relationship with God, I have been enjoying His amazing friendship and I have experienced Him in my affairs. So I thought to share a thing or two.
I noticed similar trends in my interactions with Him.
When I want to know something so bad.I need the truth; answer that would not lead me to damnation, I turn to God. I turn to Him and seek His face on that particular matter.
From choosing the scope of my service to Him, to asking if I could keep fueling my crush on that “certain” guy. I turn to Him.
He really would love for me to turn to Him all the time but I still let my flesh choose for me sometimes. But yes, I seek God’s face for direction.
First thing is My desire– When I want something so bad, I get it. Not to sound boastful, but by God’s grace I get it😊
I really want to know God’s opinion about a thing, I go to Him with the mindset of I am not stopping till you speak to me about this.
To experience God deeply, you need to want Him badly.
Seclusion – Moses was a good friend of God, God spoke to Moses most of the times when he was alone,separated from the crowd.
Jesus my role model, also separated Himself at different times. I believe He did this to commune with God, to seek direction as regards fulfilling His purpose.
So yeah,i recoil to be by myself, talking to God in a calm environment so I can hear clearly when God speaks.
Persistence– I know God acts with my interest as His priority. He might give me the answer to my question after a day, he could be quiet for awhile,He could give me signs leading to my answer.
God is just God and His ways are not just ours, His wisdom is far beyond our comprehsion.
It took me a day to be sure He wanted me to serve in Goldmine unit in my church.
It took me 8months to be sure, I needed to move on from a crush.LOOL
By His grace, i keep at it till I get His answer.
The beauty of spending this quality time with God trying to get an answer is that subconciously I know Him better. I can say I am not the Christian I was in 2016, i am growing.
God breathes more of His spirit on & in me. Internal transformation occurs that I may not know the exact hour but I see the expression.
Above all, nothing feels better than knowing what track to follow by His direction.
Direction and clarity about our lives can only be gotten when we spend quality time with God.
Then the Lord said to Moses, Come up to the moinatain and be there. I will give you tablets of stones and commandments which I have written,that you may teach them.Exodus 24:12
