Memory Verse: But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest’s palace. Matt 26:58b
Relationship
is the way in which people or things are connected. Also, it is the way in
which people behave towards one another. Relationship is an act of exhibiting
or exchanging intimacy towards one another. While distance is as well known as
gap or how far from each other two points or places are. Christians are bound
to follow Christ afar off when their hope is lost in God in the course of
facing the challenges or terrific situations of life.
In any
relationship in life, when there is a gap, there is tendency for such
relationship to crumble. Why must the distance between you and Jesus Christ be
bridged? This is because of the fact that, Christianity as a religion
symbolizes relationship with Christ. This relationship is established from the
very first day an unbeliever accepts Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour and
Lord.
There
are many devices the devil and his cohorts use to create gap between a
Christian and Jesus Christ which you need to know and overcome. Such devices
are: tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, sword,
death, life, angels, principalities, powers, things present or to come etc. Brethren,
all these are parts of life. Your intimacy with Christ will give you strength
to overcome the above identified devices and others.
As Christians, no matter what we face in our
Christian journey we must be persuaded that, neither height, nor depth, nor any
other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in
Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:39.
Can you declare now
that: I regain my intimacy with Jesus Christ!
