SPIRITUAL INTIMACY – Wednesday June 17th 2020
Memorise: Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Matthew 11:29
Read: Acts 2:41-47 (KJV)
41 Then they that gladly received his word
were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand
souls.
42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles'
doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and
signs were done by the apostles.
44 And all that believed were together, and had all things
common;
45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them
to all men, as every man had need.
46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the
temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with
gladness and singleness of heart,
47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people.
And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Bible in one year: Proverbs 27-29, Hymn: Sing
hymn 29
Message:
-
Knowing
God is not the same as going to Church or even being born again. The knowledge
of God is first made evident through love. If you love God, it will show in the
way you live and even interact with others. God is calling us into an intimate
relationship with Him which is preceded by growing in the knowledge of Him. If
your life is in disagreement with God’s word, no matter how much you
participate in Church activities or give offerings to God, you would not be
acceptable to Him, and your services would be in vain.

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus….
Made himself of no reputation, ….. took upon him the form of a servant,
…humbled himself, and become obedient unto death…”
Philippians 2:5-8
1st
John 2:6 also says “He that saith he
abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.” Jesus
Himself enjoins us to follow His example in all things.
Open Heaven for today 17 June 2020 – Spiritual Intimacy
An
intimate relationship with Jesus would lead to selflessness, humility, service
to humanity, and total obedience to God. When you live according to the
standard of God, He will be pleased with all you have to offer. Do you know
that you can come before God with generous offerings, yet stir up His anger?
This is because the offering of an unrepentant sinner is an abomination before
God (Proverbs 15:8)
Open Heaven for today 17 June 2020 Wednesday Prayer Point
An
intimate relationship with God would help you fashion your life very closely
after the example of our Lord Jesus in all things. The knowledge of God must
bring us to the point of wisdom and enlightenment far beyond the ordinary.
Above all, the knowledge of Jesus must lead to overflowing joy and peace. I
pray that your knowledge of Jesus will grow greatly this season in the mighty
name of Jesus.
Prayer Point
Father, please help me to grow in intimacy with
You, in the mighty name of Jesus.
