Intimacy and communion II

Text: 2 Cor. 13:14
MORE LESSONS: Song. 5:8-16
Bible Reading in one Year: Psalms 94-96

The second epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi, a city of Macedonia. How much do you want the manifest presence of God? It is true that the presence of God is everywhere but the manifest presence of God is not everywhere. That is why we must desire to deepen intimacy with the Lord on a personal level. The glory of God beams out of intimacy with the divine. Wealth is a by- product of valuing the presence of God. Peace and joy are exclusive to those who have tasted communion with God. Do you want holiness? Don't just bump into the place of the presence of God, stay there until something happens. Are you sick in your body or mind? Like chaff in fire, no unclean spirit or disease can survive the holy presence of God. 

All the frustrations of the past vanish in the compelling presence of the Most High. Do you need wisdom to handle situations of life? Get a hold of the scriptures until it comes alive to you and the word of God will become for you the wisdom you are looking for. This is why the partaking of the holy communion table is imperative and should be observed regularly by all who want to experience the ever increasing power of God because it re-awakens us to a fresh revelation of the blood and body of Jesus Christ where all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge is hid. Col. 2:3. 

The communion capsules are intimacy initiators. That's why according to Paul the apostle, many eat of the holy communion and are sickly or die because they didn't partake of it with communion consciousness which he called "discerning the Lord's body".1 Corinthians 11:29. Complacency in the spirit is an expression of the spirit of pride because it tells God there is no need to strive for more of you because where I am is enough. But just enough is not enough, irrespective of how much of God’s grace and favour is upon you, there is more of God in God to be enjoyed by those who will pay the price of the extra mile mark to become people of an extraordinary mark in this generation. Are there still idols left in your life that are contending for the presence of God? How much do you want the presence of God?

Prayer/Action
*Glorify God because he has chosen you to be a carrier of his presence.
*Pray that wherever you go and whatever you do, God's presence will be evident.
*Pray for a deeper communion with the Holy Spirit.
Welcome the Holy Spirit afresh and fellowship with him constantly.
