February 1, 2020 Spirit Meat Devotional :- INTIMACY WITH THE LORD (1) – EXODUS 24:12, HEBREWS 8:10-11
Welcome to the month of February! This month our focus will be on intimacy with the Lord. The Lord will be revealing to us key principles to developing a closer walk and relationship with Him. This is a divine summon to all. God is calling us as we move on in this New Year to a life of intimacy with Him. We will be starting this study by looking at what intimacy actually means.
A lot of people, especially Christians have their own idea of what intimacy with the Lord is, which most of the times are not completely true or totally different from the biblical meaning of intimacy with the Lord. Intimacy with God is not the same as prayers. A lot of people pray, not only Christians. But prayer cannot be intimacy with God. Many Christians have summarized intimacy with the Lord in the ten to fifteen minutes prayers they do on a daily basis. That cannot produce the type of intimacy we are talking about.
Intimacy is a two-way phenomenon which entails you understanding the person you are intimate with – what they love, hate, who they are and what they want from you and so on. This is the correct definition of intimacy. So, intimacy is not just prayers. Prayer is just a means of communicating with your Heavenly Father. However, God wants His children to really understand Him, and that does not happen in a day.
Intimacy with the Lord has several benefits which we cannot exhaust in our study this month. Intimacy delivers you from a life of trial and error, and brings you into accuracy in life and destiny. Intimacy brings your life into accuracy, and accuracy produces impact.
PRAYER:: I receive grace to develop intimacy with the Lord as I move on in this New Year in Jesus name. Amen!
BIBLE IN A YEAR: Exodus 13:17-15:18, Matthew 21:23-46, Psalm 26:1-12, Proverbs 6:16-19
