How To Create A Close Relationship With God

God knows everyone’s mind, what you are thinking about now and what you will think next. Building a close relationship with God is the best remedy for all your problems. This is best shown in the Bible where Noah built a good relationship with God when he obeyed what God had told him i.e. building of the ark. This clearly shows that we should obey God’s commands no matter how hard they may seem. With this, Good becomes pleased and proud of us. 

There are various steps that you should follow in order to be closer to God:-

·         Engage in prayers:  It is through prayers where you find solace from God. It is the best communication method to God, because once you pray and trust in Him, you will never regret it. The devil won’t have breathing space when you pray. He will always be scared of you because he knows that he can never get near you.

·         Sing for him: This is another great way of communicating to God effectively. Attend church services and if you have never been in one, secure any near you. Immediately you get there, you will realize that God loves you very much and He will always be proud of you. Worship and sing for Him like it’s your first time and God’s blessings will always be showered upon you.

·         Allow God to dwell in your home: The moment you live a life full of peace and love, God will definitely be there. He will protect your family and your marriage. This is one thing I have realized, if your family lives in peace, you will see a lot of wonders. God will be happy the moment he will realize that you will live for Him.

·         Win people to the Gospel of Christ: You can do this by preaching the word of God to people who have no idea of who God is. You don’t have to be a preacher to this, you can pick some Bible verses and be reading them to people and you will see how you will have transformed people’s lives. I can tell you that this works very well. And before doing this, always ask God for guidance and He will surely do that.

Love is the greatest commandment and the Bible says “Love God with all your heart, with all your soul and with your entire mind”. This message is very strong and once you learn how to love other people, God will be happy and heaven will be your home.

Heavenly Riches

Being rich in Heaven does not mean that you must own money to get there. You should actually have strong Faith in God, be humble before His eyes, help out your neighbor, go to church fellowship and sing for him, love your enemies, never judge etc. You should know that your neighbor is anyone who needs your help and you should treat them well without any discrimination for God never discriminates anyone. He will always be by your side and guide you throughout your life. He is just, merciful, faithful and loving. 

Luke 18:18-27; Jesus talks about above riches in Heaven and receiving eternal life. Heavenly riches can’t be compared with earthly riches because riches in Heaven are eternal. What you should focus on, is making sure that you receive eternal life in the Kingdom of God.

If you are going through hard times, trying to figure out how you will get out of the sticky mud, always know that God is with you and He will never leave you. If you are not born again and maybe you would want to be one, tell God that you need Him near you now more than ever. 

Pray to God that He enables you to live a holy life and help you overcome Satan’s temptations. This has greatly helped me because in times of problems, I always pray to God to guide me in every way and to write my name in the book of life for my desire is to reach Heaven and enjoy eternal happiness.

Your mission

God created us for a reason and that reason is to fulfill our mission that God wants us to accomplish. Before you were born, God had already known how your life would be like and the talents you had to exploit for the sake of others. The Bible says; “Love your neighbor as you love yourself”.  

The mission that God has given us is a continuation of Jesus’ mission on earth. As his followers, we should continue with Jesus’ doings. Working with God comes with a lot of responsibilities and it is a privilege too. We should use the opportunity God has given us in order to spread his word to people who have no idea of what the Kingdom of God entails. 

You should tell other people that they can have eternal life only if they hold onto God’s word. They should know that having eternal life is the greatest thing they can have. Heaven is the only place you can find such privileges and without God, you cannot go anywhere. 

If your neighbor has an incurable illness like AIDS or cancer and maybe you that it is curable. It would be terrible if you failed to inform him or her about that. You should treat everyone with love and respect because it is what God does.
