  Hello everyone, we give thanks to God for this new day, a new
• 1:12
  year, a new beginning, a new chapter of our life.
• 1:16
  For today devotion, I'd like to share with you about how to
• 1:20
  become more closure, more intimacy with God in our
• 1:24
  day-to-day spiritual life. Before we enter into the Bible
• 1:28
  passes, let's say a word of prayer.
• 1:32
  Dear God, you are a good Father, always ready and willing to
• 1:37
  bring us in your presence. Make Your words known to us to
• 1:41
  understand. Open our eyes and open our
• 1:44
  hearts to understand Your words. Draw closer to You so that we
• 1:48
  won't feel disconnection from you.
• 1:51
  Thank you Lord for always staying by our side.
• 1:54
  In Jesus name we pray, Amen. So today friends, I want to
• 2:00
  focus on giving a topic. Build a relationship with God in
• 2:04
  our spiritual life. Build a relationship with God in
• 2:08
  our spiritual life. I want whoever hear this message
• 2:13
  to ask ourselves a simple question.
• 2:16
  How is your relationship with God?
• 2:19
  How do we maintain it till today?
• 2:23
  For some of us it can be 20 years and some of us it can be
• 2:30
  30-40. Fifty and 60 years of now so
• 2:34
  far. For a moment, let's recall back
• 2:37
  again and think ourself, how is my spiritual life?
• 2:41
  How do I maintain to have a deep relationship with God?
• 2:45
  Is it good enough? Are we satisfied or do we need
• 2:49
  to invest more or work more on it?
• 2:53
  Let's look on how to keep and maintain a deep relationship
• 2:56
  with God in this new year of our life.
• 3:00
  God want us to make a relationship with Him.
• 3:04
  He want us to start. He's waiting for us.
• 3:08
  God enjoys our relationship with Him even though it is not the
• 3:12
  perfect performance. He is waiting for us.
• 3:16
  Let's look on the life of Enoch. Enoch was a regular person just
• 3:22
  like you and me, but he chose to build such a close and intimate
• 3:28
  relationship with God that God decided to take him directly to
• 3:32
  heaven without experiencing that.
• 3:35
  Inoke was special to God because of his fate and their close
• 3:39
  relationship, not because of anything he did.
• 3:43
  Achievements and accomplishments are frickle, it can change
• 3:48
  anytime. We will go through times of
• 3:51
  success in Life and Times of failure.
• 3:54
  It help us to know that whether we feel like a success or
• 3:58
  failure, what pleases God most is our close relationship with
• 4:03
  Him. Maintain your heart for God is
• 4:07
  day relationship with our friends physically.
• 4:11
  To keep healthy relationship with our friends, we talk, we
• 4:15
  chat and we send messages and sometimes we spend talking like
• 4:20
  an hour with our friends. Like any friendship, a
• 4:25
  friendship with God has to be nurture and maintained.
• 4:30
  It's very easy to drift from God.
• 4:33
  Keeping our hearts close to Him takes spiritual effort.
• 4:36
  This day, before we get overwhelmed, add the thought of
• 4:41
  adding more work to our lives. Let's understand this.
• 4:45
  Maintaining our heart for God is not about adding a bunch of
• 4:49
  burden or it's a stuff to do the least.
• 4:54
  It is about opening our hearts and searching for God's presence
• 4:58
  in our life. Spiritual effort leaves us
• 5:02
  rephrase not more tired. Let's see how King David
• 5:07
  maintain his relationship with God in Psalm 143 verse 8.
• 5:13
  It says let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love
• 5:17
  for in your white trust. Make me know the way I should go
• 5:21
  for to you. I lift up my Shoal.
• 5:25
  Sometimes David feel fear was rising in David life his life
• 5:32
  and sometimes he feel cut off from God but he have a desire to
• 5:38
  be in a deep relationship with the Lord and he say his prayer.
• 5:44
  Daniel have a deep relationship with God by praying three times
• 5:50
  in a day. He make a connection by prayers.
• 5:54
  We can see in Daniel chapter 6 verse 10.
• 5:58
  Let's look to God and always walk on our way.
• 6:03
  Let's think the life of Peter when he sees that Jesus walk on
• 6:06
  the water, he have the desire to go to Jesus.
• 6:11
  So he said to Jesus, Lord, if it is you, command me to come to
• 6:15
  you on the water. Jesus answered him and said
• 6:20
  come. So Peter, go out of the boat and
• 6:23
  walk on the water and come to Jesus.
• 6:26
  But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and began to sing.
• 6:30
  So he cried out, saying, Lord, save me.
• 6:34
  And Jesus reached out his hand, save him immediately.
• 6:39
  Peter, just for a second he moved out his hand, his eyes, He
• 6:44
  was not able to continue his way.
• 6:48
  What will happen to our life if we don't look to God and walk on
• 6:52
  our own life? In our spiritual life, it is
• 6:55
  more important to make a good connection with God.
• 6:58
  Let's start seeking God with our everything.
• 7:02
  Let's thirst for our soul. We can resource that we are not
• 7:07
  alone and God is with us. We'll find true happiness when
• 7:12
  we desire to be close to God and follow His ways.
• 7:17
  God choose us to be in relationship with Him, which
• 7:20
  means we matter a lot to Him. He really enjoys hearing our
• 7:25
  real thoughts, feelings, and desire.
• 7:28
  He likes being intimately involved in the ups and downs of
• 7:32
  our lives, give us strength carrying our burdens and leading
• 7:37
  us to glorious destiny. He also likes sharing His heart
• 7:41
  with us. He feels love when we trust Him
• 7:45
  and ought to listen to what He says.
• 7:48
  Let's our life reflect Jesus in US.
• 7:51
  Let's maintain our hearts for God it's day.
• 7:55
  Let's serve God with a complete heart and knowledge.
• 7:58
  God in our life. Let's learn from Jesus and his
• 8:03
  relation with God. Let's also look the relationship
• 8:07
  of Jesus and his disciple. Let the Word of the Lord guide
• 8:12
  our way and get our way day-to-day life.
• 8:17
  Let us also prioritize God in our life and admit our life
• 8:22
  ourself to Him. Let's say this prayer and
• 8:26
  conclude our messes. Oh God, you are my God.
• 8:30
  I shall seek you earnestly. My soul turns for you, my flesh
• 8:36
  yearns for you in a dry and weary land without water.
• 8:40
  Amen. May God bless each and everyone
• 8:43
  of us to start and have a deep intimacy relationship with Him
• 8:48
  in our day-to-day life. Thank you, May God bless us.
• 8:53
