Many want to be intimate but they are not ready to make the sacrices it takes. Sometimes I hear people saying, I want to be so close to God that even the devil cannot get between us. That is how close or intimate we should be with God. I want to be so close to God that the devil cannot even dare come close to me, not to talk of getting between us. Whatever it takes, I am ready to do that. It takes determination. So to be intimate with God, you need to spend time alone with God. You need to spend time on the WORD of GOD, in prayer and fasting. David really loved the Lord with all His might and soul; you can see that from his Psalms. Let’ s look at one of the Psalms he wrote – Psalm 42:1-2. “As a dear panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee , O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the liing God, when shall I come and appear before God.”  We should be so thirsty and hungry for God if we  want Him to take us to a higher level. The best thing that can happen to anybody in this  world is to know Jesus. We often talk about those  we love, so talk about Jesus. Be a Jesus loer!!!!!  There are benefts to being intimate with God: Safety – There is sa fety in the presence of God. The demons will ee in the presence of God, the demons cannot touch you. Psalm 91:1, “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” • Deliverance from demonic inuence.

Dead Sea ChristiansBy Philip Ademola Togun

  “To this you were called, becauseChrist suffered for you, leaing anexample, that you should follow in Hissteps (I Peter 2:21), [and] whoeer claims to lie in Him must walk as Jesusdid (I John 2:6).”

The river Jordan terminates in theDead Sea, the lowest point on the

earth. While the Dead Sea ‘receives’ constantly from theriver Jordan, it never ‘gives’ out; there is no out-ow. It is sosalty that there is no life in it. It is truly dead.

There are Christians who are spiritual equivalents of the Dead Sea. They are faithful to their church, and they

love the Lord. They read their Bibles, and attend Christianconferences and seminars, buy Christian books, subscribe

to Christian magazines and are generally busy doing

‘spiritual things’.But they do not share their spiritual resources. They

constantly receive – sermons, seminars, etc. – but do nottouch other lives for Christ. Witnessing to unbelievers is out

of the question; it’s enough to “let them see Christ in you.”The neighbors, co-workers and others see an outwardly

religious person with high ethical standards, but the basisof such a life – an encounter with Jesus Christ – is never 

communicated.It is this type of Christian who, full of mere head

knowledge, becomes critical of other Christians over minor 

theological differences (“Why does he not fast during

Lent?”) and develops a bunker mentality in dealing withthe world, becoming increasingly defensive and bitter,bemoaning the spiritual decay all around, instead of 

becoming part of the solution to societal problems bylovingly proclaiming Christ-centered solutions.

Holiness becomes equated with “dos” and “don’ts”instead of being seen as a by-product of God’s grace in

Christ through which God no longer counts our sins againstus, so that when He looks at the Christian, all he sees isChrist in that individual, reected in the brilliant light of 

the Holy Spirit.So, what does a Dead Sea Christian do? Begin to share

his or her considerable spiritual resources with Christiansand non-Christians. There are Christians who need

teaching, counseling and encouragement. Investing in the

lives of non-Christians by helping them in times of needopens avenues for Sharing the Christian faith. Materialresources too will often need to be shared with the needy,Christians and non-Christians.

C.S. Lewis advocated “muscular Christianity”. That isthe kind our world needs and “Christ’s loe compels us’ (IICorinthians 5:14) to meaningfully engage our world. Wedare not fail!
