THE NEED TO SEPARATE TO GOD
In the midst of the present crises and confusion in the world, there is a great need for us to separate to God in fellowship. Obviously, there is no peace in the world, the world cannot afford any peace for anyone. The only one who has peace to offer is Jesus Christ.
Therefore, if your mind is stayed on the world and your schedule is filled mainly with secular activities, you will have no peace. For you to experience the peace of God that passes all human understanding, you must learn to begin to spend quality time with the Lord daily.
You should not be in a hurry to rush out of your house in the morning just to keep appointment with a human being, when you have not first kept appointment with God, the one in whose hands is your life.
For the greater part of our life, we have been heeding man’s report, following man-made procedures and methods to obtain results, yet without any remedy. Now, therefore, let us all heed God’s call and know what He has in stock for us.
I do not mean to say that you should withdraw yourself to a desert or lock yourself up permanently in a room. The truth is that if God says you should do just that, then He has a purpose for it and you have to do exactly what He says. God is the one who knows His purpose for your life and also the work to be done in you to fulfil that purpose. We only need to yield to Him and do whatever He asks us to do.
The Lord is calling us, so He can help us.Only God can help us with any need in our lives. Man cannot help us, human wisdom lack the power to eradicate, control or solve all the challenges of life.
To be candid, we are all helpless without God. It is only pride that will make us pretend that we do not need help. If we remain in this pretentious attitude, we are likely going to remain in our predicaments.I
The wisest thing to do now is to respond to the call of God with all our hearts. We should also carry all our heavy laden to Him and receive His rest.
Trials, temptations, distractions, pressures of life do come to us but often times, these issues are addressed when we are alone with God. Also, when we are truly connected with Him in the spirit, He suddenly drops the answer into our heart.
As often times as possible, we need to forget all our piled-up programmes and separate to God, who will work out better and proper programmes for us. And now is the time! He needs us at the already prepared table, filled with His goodness.
It’s amazing to know that when we separate ourselves to God, He speaks and gives us directions on the issues bothering our hearts. Then why don’t we separate to Him, as often as possible, so we can fellowship with Him, know Him and also receive clear directions concerning our lives? Why do we struggle and are full of anxiety?
You may also need to change your prayer from “God bless all that I will do today”. “God, give me this, give me that”, to “God, lead me into your plans and purposes for my life today”, “Search me, O God, and know my heart, try me, and know my thought” We should be more concerned with the prosperity of our soul than material prosperity.
