TIME SPENT WITH GOD IS WELL SPENT

Psalm 107:6-7 “Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation”. Read Hosea 5:15

The purpose of God is that man will worship Him continuously. The practice was going on in the Garden of Eden prior to the fall of man. When Christ came into the world for reconciliation programme He told us that we should pray without ceasing Luke 18:1 “And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.” This presupposes that we should continue to be in his presence either praying, praising and worshiping or preaching. These actions are important to God and when doing them you are spending quality time in the presence of God.

As we spend time with God we continue to study the word to know more about the will of God and the purpose of our creation. Read Joshua 1:8. The moment you begin to spend quality time with God either worshiping, reading and meditating on the word, doing the work of evangelism you will begin to have good success.

You do not make haste to depart from the presence of God because He created you for his pleasure. He wants continous fellowship with his children. And that is why we have a slogan “Continuity brings freedom”. You need to continue in the presence of God without wavering. God created us to worship and serve Him and as we do that He blesses us. There is no point being in a hurry to go home when we come to His presence (service). The moment we hurry home without successfully rounding off the service we are incurring the wrath of God. The blessing prepared for us may not come simply because of our impatience. Always have time with God; any time in the presence of God is well spent as it brings better results.

PRAYER POINTS:
* Pray that God will subdue the spirit of impatience in you
* Pray that God should give you the grace to spend quality time in His presence.
