ABIDING IN HIS PRESENSE (MASTERING THE SECRET OF ALIGNMENT TO GOD)
"I am the vine, you are the branches, he who abides
in me and i in him bears much fruit for without
me you can do nothing" (John.15:5)
In
a time and season when trails, distractions, and evil exceed, in a
seductive world where to commit iniquity is always at our door steps and
it seems as if there is no hope for uprightness, believers who are
destined to transform the world are either distracted by the rat race of
life or either held down by one sin or the other. average believers
finds it difficult to concentrate with God and receive the blue print
for their lives. God is ever ready to enable us in any of our weakness
for us to survive this challenge.
when
we understand the dynamics of abiding in him then we will know that it
is only in his presence that is more desirable than any endeavors of
man. Below are the basic secret for abiding.
1. SUSTAINING YOUR PASSION FOR GOD
What
the devil is after is to use every possible medium to quench your
passion for God because a passionate believer will always crave for more
of God and align more to the holy spirit.
The human being haS 3 cardinal appetite which are 1. craving for food. 2. craving for sex and stimulus 3. craving for pleasure.
Let
me skip the rest and explain the crave for pleasure. which include the
joy one derive from social media, comedy, movies, games,sports and lot
more. why this things may be good we should understand that when your
satisfy the crave for all this things it kills and reduces your zeal for
God thereby making you creep spiritually and the funny thing is that
one who engages to satisfy his crave for this pleasure are always prune
to sin and receive scarce oil from God.
So
for you to maintian your passion reduce your excesess in pleasure and
draw more to the things of God. u can even decide to quit some
pleasurable act like watching football or ungodly Movies and lot more
and sacrificially focus to the basic dealings of God over your life
(Rom.8:2)
2. UNDERSTANDING GOD AS A FATHER
God
as a father unveils the love and readiness of him to help you in any
difficult face you find yourselves in abiding in him. the blind man
cried "Jesus Son of David have mercy on me " when you see God as a
father u will always run to him to help you because him alone has the
blueprint for your life and is ever ready to help you.
3.STAY CONNECTED WITH BRETHREN WHO WILL ALWAYS ENCOURAGE YOU TO PRESS FURTHER IN GOD.
For
you to abide always interact with believers who have more experience
than you and will always encourage you to press on. feel free to explain
any difficulty and try to maintain prayer chain or bible study with
them. this will go a long way in making you crave more for God and abide
in him
4. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND BE FOCUS.
Discipline is also a prerequisite any man that must go far with God and abide must be focus on him and avoid distractions
