There are some seasons in our lives, where we may feel like we are not hearing from God, or that we are not aligned with the direction of His will. Sometimes, we do not even clearly understand His will for us. And it feels like we are just out here living our lives without any interaction between us and heaven. But I’d like you to know that to have the close fellowship that we want to have with God, we must get connected and stay connected to Him.
So, we are familiar with our devices, our “smart this” or “smart that,” which have various features, programs and apps that we use for productivity or entertainment.
Most of these programs require us to be connected to the internet to utilize them fully. It’s the same with our lives in order for purpose to be unlocked in us, for us to reach our full potential, we must have a connection with the main server, our source. God. He is the one who created us, the one who knows our times and seasons, the one who fashioned us with purpose, the one who holds all the answers to the questions that we have-even those questions that we don’t share with anyone. He is the one who has the supply of resources that we need because the cattle on a thousand Hills are His.
If it is healing that we need, we can connect to Him and download our healing- because He is the one who was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquity. He endured the punishment that He did so we could have peace and with His stripes, we are healed.
I’m encouraging you to get what you need from God by connecting to Him and abiding in Him.
How can we get connected to God? Well, I’m glad you asked. 😊
Firstly, we must believe that God exists and that He is the self-existing God-the uncreated God-meaning, He was present from day one. Nobody made him, but He made everything and everyone. After acknowledging this God, we need to start having faith in Him.
And what is faith? In case we need a little refresher, according to the Oxford Dictionary, faith is having complete trust or confidence in someone or something.
As the Bible says in Hebrews 11:6 “, But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him.” Amplified Bible
If we are going to connect to God, expecting to get our healing and deliverance from Him, then we must believe.
I know it is our cultural practice to be regular attendants at church, but, I also know that we can serve the church and the community, without practising real faith. Here are a couple of ways our lack of faith plays out in our daily lives: we don’t believe in divine healing- so we accept whatever condition comes our way; we don’t believe that God can write off our debts, or give us heightened wisdom on how to properly steward the provisions that He has made for us so we don’t even bother to pray over our finances. We say we believe in God, but do we?
God wants to reward us. He wants to be more intimately connected with us. He wants to restore us, but we must diligently and intentionally pursue Him. So that means we are going to tighten up on some spiritual disciplines like making more time for prayer, we’re going to be more intentional in studying the Word and we are going to fast more. We are going to humble ourselves at His feet. We are going to lay down our will for His will. In doing so, we will experience growth and a greater depth in our relationship with Him.
