Today’s word of encouragement is finding your best time with God. God has created us all differently, but even with our differences, we all must find our best time spent with Jesus. We cannot neglect our relationship with our Father.
Let us reflect upon the week that has just passed. Everyday, how much time were we really in conversation with God? We must be careful that we are not just going through the motions of reading the Bible and praying everyday. It is as though we are just filling up the quota for the day, when really our relationship with God has not grown stronger.
If our relationship with God is one that is all about filling up the quota, trying to be this Christian because it is required of us; to be honest we aren’t building a strong relationship. It is interesting how we regularly look at the people around us, and in our own minds we make assumptions about what it takes to be this “Godly” person. We look at our leaders, our friends, and family. God’s given us all great leaders’ men and women to follow, but we must realize that by imitating them it does not mean we too will be a leader, or we too will now have a great relationship with God. Any relationship with anyone takes time, takes effort, and takes sacrifice. How much so, we must do all these for our Father.
Let us be careful today, that our relationship with God is not at all about filling up this quota, or even in our Christian walk. I pray today that we never feel that our walk with God is about these things:
· IF I don’t have any disciple, if I’m not discipling anyone I’m not spiritually strong.
· If I haven’t started my own Life group, it means I’m not a good Christian
· If I have not attended the making disciples class, I can’t be used by God.
· If I have not attended victory weekend, I can’t grow
· If I am not enrolled in ENLI, I am not a leader
· If I am not serving in any ministry, I am not growing
Our relationship with God is the most important thing in our lives, if that relationship is weak, what would be the point of fulfilling all these things listed above? Today, let us rebuild our relationship with God and spend time with Him EVERYDAY. Mark 12:30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.
