Encounter with God
Encountering God. What does it take to have an encounter with Him? Many things went through my mind as I thought about it. But in the end, it boils down to one thing, desire. Some of you might be thinking, how do I desire for Him more? Here are some points:
1) God is not just God. He is a Living God.
So many christians treat God as some kind of idea, image or blurry picture. These are all wrong thinkings. God is real, living and still performing wonders in our mist. You must treat him as a person. This is how you can have a close relationship with Him.
2) Panting
Like what David said in Ps 42:1, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for You, my God." How thristy are you today? Are you just satisfied to be in His presence or do you seek to see His face? There is a very big difference between the two. As you go for cellgroup meetings, service and even quiet time, is your spirit seeking after God like a madman? Don't be like the Israelists in Moses' time, whereby they were afraid of God's presence. Instead be like Moses, one who seeks after the face of God (Ex 33:18). As you seek His presence, do not enter just the outer courts or inner courts. Enter into the Holiest of Holy, touching the throne of God.
In closing, just want to share you all something that I posted last year.
