DRAWING TO GOD

Drawing to God

This time i want to start with questions;

1-      Why draw to God?

2-      Who to draw to God?

3-      How do we draw to God?

Welcome to this study ``drawing to God’’. After knowing that we are the children of God, just take a step and ask yourself these three questions above. This will make you dig deeper in as to why God chose you as His child.

Yes…..from our previous lesson, we ask ourselves the question ``what next in being a child of God?’’ The answer to this is straight away ……TO DRAW TO GOD……..since He has accepted you as His child due to your believe in Gods son Jesus Christ, the only thing you need to do is to ``LOVE your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind’’ Mathew 22:37.  Ohhhhh....come on,``what are you waiting now? Get up, be Baptized, wash your sins away, calling on His name’’ Acts 22:16

Now if I may answer the question: `why draw to God?’’.

We draw to God for strength. Psalms 29:1-5. Our strength is only in God. Less than that, we are just living in dreams that cannot come in to fulfillment because John tells us that things of the world shall pass away. 1 John 2:15-17. Romans 12:2.

We also draw to God to find Him while He may be found, Psalms 32:6, because by the time of critical moments, God will only be available to those who did conform to His words.

We draw to God because we do not want to die- Luke 20:36. Even if we die in body, we would wish to live with God forever and that is why we need to draw to Him.

We also draw to God for Love 1 Corinthians 13, we draw to God for comfort 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, and we draw to God to attain freedom Galatians 5:1.

Who to draw to God???? John 1:12-13. ``Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God…….’’

Deuteronomy 14:1-2 also points out that ``you are the children of the Lord your God……..the Lord has chosen you to be His treasured possession’’, while the means by which we are brought as sons to Glory is the participation of Jesus in Flesh and Blood, and His death in respect to that Galatians 3:26.

How do we draw to God?????

-The first sure thing we have to know is `PRAYERS’,  this is the way we talk to God.

We pray to:

1-      Ask for forgiveness 2 Corinthians 7:14.

2-      Present our personal needs - Mark 11:24.

3-      Follow the examples of Jesus - Luke 6:12.

4-      We should keep on praying whatever the circumstance is - 1 Thessalonians 5:17.

-Live a life expected of you by God. Try by all means to avoid idleness because an idle mind is the devils workshop – 2 Thessalonians 3:6.

-Be rooted in the Gospel of Christ Jesus – 2 Thessalonians 2:15.

-Press ahead looking to hear from your Lord God and try to forget the past – Philippians 3:12-13.

-Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devils schemes – Ephesians 6:11.

-Do not be yorked with unbelievers – Galatians 5:1.

-Do not Love the world – 1 John 2:15-17, Romans 12:2.

Be blessed as you look unto Him who saves.
