Wilderness
Kingdom Greetings
There are times when God just wants us and him to dialogue. He removes us from people that we often run to and listen to. He will allow dry seasons in our lives, just to get us away so that he can spend time teaching us things himself. This moment of intimacy with God cannot be found in random prayer, but in meditating on his word (bible reading) and prayer. Prayer is not only asking God for things and randomly worshipping him but it is spending intimate, quality, intentional time talking to God. There comes a time in life where prayer alone does not seem to work. God wants fellowship with us which means dedicated time alone with him in meditating on his word (getting understanding & receiving revelation of his word) without necessarily lamenting about our problems. The word of God is God himself. In this season of meditation, which is in fact meant to be our lifestyle, God reveals himself to us in ways that develop us as individuals to the next level of life and our relationship with him. In this season God will teach us things about life and himself that our pastors cannot tell us, not because they do not know but because some lessons only apply to individuals at certain levels of life (Jhn 16:12). If we are prematurely told certain things, it can cause our falling away or sinfulness because we lack contextual understanding. God is merciful , heโs in control and keeps an eye on all that is happening to us. Nothing about us takes him by surprise (Isa 49:16). Ministers of God such as myself serve as encouragers, supporters and leaders in the house of God but we cannot replace that special bond between you and God, of your intimate moments with God, which is meditating (reading the bible) on the word of God and receiving the revealed word of God directly from him. He wants to fellowship and have a special relationship with you, hence he sacrificed his only begotten son for us. The power of prayer is in the revealed word, not just information.
God Bless you. Evangelist Nana
