Join Us

The apostle James exhorts us to “draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you …” (Jas. 4: 8).  God does not tell us that we can find Him only in a quiet church sanctuary, or on the mountain top.  He tells us that wherever we seek Him, He will be there to meet with us and to minister to our needs.  Jeremiah 29: 13 confirms this precious truth: “And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.”   His presence comforts us and shields us from all earthly assaults; He lightens our burdens and strengthens our faith.  How blessed to be in the presence of the One Who loves us and cares for us.

Sadly, however, many Christians view their time with the Lord as a burden rather than a blessing.  Small wonder, we are spiritually lethargic, with little appetite for the things of God.

Jesus – our perfect Example

Let us learn lessons of communion with God from our Lord Jesus Christ.  Whilst on earth, He faced pressures much greater than ours.  Imagine the whole city gathering and waiting upon Him for healing.  At one time, more than 5,000 people thronged around Him to hear His discourse.

Though very busy, the Lord took time to visit Martha, Mary and Lazarus.  He went out of His way to minister to the Samaritan woman.  He reached out to the despised tax collector, Zacchaeus, and to Nicodemus, a religious leader, who came to Him at night with a seeking heart.  The Lord not only had time for little children but encouraged them to come to Him:  “Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto Me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 19: 14).
