February 19, 2020 Spirit Meat Devotional :- HOW TO DEVELOP AND SERVICE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD (1) – MARK 1:35

When you develop and service your relationship with God, your level of intimacy with Him increases. The following points will help you to develop and service your relationship with God:

1.    Separation. You cannot develop intimacy without separation. Separation requires that you withdraw from normal duties, activities, people, thoughts and your usual environment to a place within a specific period of time to fellowship with the Father. Many are not able to withdraw because they place their comfort above their fellowship and relationship with God. Some people have time for different things including their spouse, friends and business associates, but no time to separate to be with God. Jesus woke up and went to a solitary place (Mark 1:35). He withdrew from his environment. Always practice the principle of relocation after waking up from sleep. Don’t try to pray on the bed you woke up from else you will be inviting sleep. You will not be able to pray effectively as you will sleep off again.

Identify the things in your life that you must withdraw from. Sometimes you have to withdraw from thoughts so as to effectively develop a good relationship with the Lord. Holding on to different thoughts in your mind will distract you. Many times God wants to communicate with you. Divine communications are like TV and radio signals in the atmosphere and you need a receiver to trap them. When you separate from distractions around you, it will sharpen your spirit to trap divine signals.

 

PRAYER: Lord I receive grace to separate from any distraction that can hinder my relationship with you in Jesus name. Amen!
