Solitude with God is a vital part of every Christian’s life. Spending one on one time with God at least once a month is very important, because God reveals great things to you.
I want to express my special gratitude to Pastor Sunday for teaching us how to show God’s priority in our lives in application by practicing solitude with Him. Obedience plays a very important role in our relationship with God. Unfortunately, we often choose to ignore significance of obedience.
During solitude with God, He revealed to me its importance, principles and fruit. These truths will help anyone, who seeks God’s face.
Be prepared to meet with God.
Use the following steps to prepare yourself for Solitude with God.
1. Dream about meeting God
Imagine your conversations with God, how He will teach you and pour His love in you. You will find peace you need only from God.
2. Prepare a list of questions to ask God in advance
Think about what you want to ask God.
3. Plan your solitude time
Set your mind on what you need to do and put away any distractions. Seeing your eagerness, God will grant you much more than you would expect. He himself will guide you.
4. Listen to God’s voice before the solitude
Follow the voice of God and it will lead you to what “equipment” to take such as books, sermons. This “equipment” will become a source of revelations and effective ideas. Being well-equipped will maximize your results.
5. Pray for your solitude time for a month
Your time with God will be fruitful.
6. Preparing to be in God’s presence
Listen to a sermon or read a book to organize your thoughts and focus. The Holy Spirit will be working within you.
Solitude with God – is a calling to us all, that we need to hear and respond to.
You will experience God and His love in greater abundance by spending one on one time with Him. Your thoughts will be transformed; your development will be maximized. You will be eager to live a new life. God’s word will revive you and open new horizons in front of you.
Life is too short to take a gamble, we should seek to know God’s plans and strategies for our lives.
Spending time with God will set your heart on fire and make you want to be obedient to God. Your life will never be the same.
We are proud to know a famous person and receive his personal greeting. Solitude with God will make us famous in the society, for God will reveal Himself through us, will put His words into our mouth. God is seeking the worshipers, who will exalt him in spirit and truth.
