IT IS A PERSONAL THING

Ezekiel 36:26(A new heart also will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and I will give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments and do them. 28 And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people and I will be your God).

Life is a battlefield; we came to this world to war against the Kingdom of darkness whose agenda is to stop us from fulfilling our destiny. This battle is being fought alone; it is an individual battle because the greater your destiny the fierce your battle with the kingdom of darkness. In order for us to win this battle and get to our destination; which is the top most top that God has ordained for us; our relationship with God who knows our beginning and our ending is paramount. Our relationship with God is personal; He created you alone and He calls you alone “God does not call a group, He calls individual” (Bishop David Oyedepo). God wants to relate with us on a personal basis, He does not want anyone to misinterpret what He is telling us. It will be a slap on our redemption for someone who we are smarter and more righteous than to be manipulating us in the name of prophecy. It is your right to hear the voice of your father; I pray for you today, that your spiritual ears will be opened in Jesus name. God has worked out everything that will make our journey smooth and He wants to personally lead us through it. The righteousness of your father cannot take you to heaven; you need to work out your own salvation. Philippians 2:12(Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but now much more in my absence work out your own salvation with fear and trembling). Joseph was left alone to fight his battle and he came out victorious because of his personal relationship with God. Building a relationship with God is not a day job; it is a gradual process and we need to work it out with Him. Love, trust, obedience, and the fear of God are among the things that are required in order to make our relationship with God work perfectly; they walk hands in hand and without them there is no relationship. When you love God you will trust Him, and your trust in Him will make you obey Him and also to fear him and to do the right thing. You are to carry out His instruction with fear and trembling because it is only when your obedience is complete that your rewards will manifest for all to see and glorify your Father in heaven (2 Corinthians 10:6). The fear we are talking about is you doing the right thing even when no one seems to be watching. God has put His Spirit in us so that we can relate with Him on a personal basis. He said that His Spirit will cause us to walk right before Him. No one can walk perfectly with God without the spirit of God; the spirit of God is the channel in which God communicates with His children (Ezekiel 37:14). Your father’s relationship with God cannot help you, the only thing he can do for you is to teach you and he cannot give you what he does not have. Even the one who has a relationship with God finds it difficult to cause their children to walk with God; Eli’s children do not walk in the footsteps of their father and also refuse to build their own relationship with God and they bring problems to the entire Israel (1 Samuel 4:11-20). You will be a blessing to your generation and not a curse in Jesus name.  1 Samuel 2:12(Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD). Eli the high priest did not train his sons well but the LORD said He knew Abraham that he would command his children and his household to follow his footstep and teach them the way of the LORD (Genesis 18:19). He was a blessing to the whole world and we are part of that blessing and also a beneficiary. Every redeemed child of God is Abraham’s seed. Abraham taught his children the importance of building their relationship with God because he knew that his righteousness cannot take them to heaven. Being in a relationship with God is for our own good; Abraham became very great, Isaac became an envy of the nation and Joseph became prime minister in a strange land because they worked out their own relationship with God. God was leading them every step of the way; we have a better covenant than them because the spirit of God now dwells in us. There is something that God may want to tell you concerning your journey that is meant for your ear alone but if you are not in a relationship with him how would you know. John 16:13(Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that he will speak: and he will shew you things to come). Relationship is not by force, it is by agreement and someone has to initiate it; God has already indicated His interest and He is waiting for you to accept Him. Friends, please don’t keep him waiting; accept him as your Lord and savior in case you have not and you will never miss your step again in Jesus name. O Lord, take away my stony heart and replace it with a heart of flesh in Jesus name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
