17th January, 2016Cultivating A Relationship With God,

Not Just A Religion

Standing on the promises of Christ my King,Through eternal ages let His praises ring,Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,Standing on the promises of God.

Standing, standing,Standing on the promises of God my Savior;Standing, standing,I’m standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises that cannot fail,When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,By the living Word of God I shall prevail,Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises I now can seePerfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,Standing on the promises of God.

Standing on the promises I cannot fall,Listening every moment to the Spirit’s callResting in my Savior as my all in all,Standing on the promises of God.

GB-272-Standing on the Promises

GB-243-Pass Me Not, O Gracious SaviourMore about Jesus, I would know,More of His grace to others show;More of His saving fullness see,More of His love who died for me.

More, more about Jesus,More, more about Jesus;More of His saving fullness see,More of His love who died for me.

More about Jesus, let me learn,More of His holy will discern;Spirit of God, my teacher be,Showing the things of Christ to me.

More about Jesus, in His word,Holding communion with my Lord;Hearing His voice in every line,Making each faithful saying mine.

More about Jesus, on His throne,Riches in glory all His own;More of His kingdom’s sure increase,More of His coming, Prince of Peace.

ELDER HENRY WANJIGIREVEREND DAWN GIKANDI

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in

Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).

Having a personal relationship with God is not as hard to find as we might

think, and there is no mysterious formula for getting it. Having a personal

relationship with God begins the moment we realize our need for Him,

admit we are sinners, and in faith receive Jesus Christ as Savior. God, our

heavenly Father, has always desired to be close to us, to have a

relationship with us. Before Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden (Genesis

chapter 3), both he and Eve knew God on an intimate, personal level.

They walked with Him in the garden and talked directly to Him. Due to the

sin of man, we became separated and disconnected from God.Religion

leans heavily upon man's righteous efforts. It often requires diligent

service and works, in expectation of earning an eternal reward. Through

each person's power of self-motivation, self-control, and self-

determination, salvation is hoped for. Inevitably, any shortcomings on the

part of the individual result in disappointment, chronic guilt, and

ultimately an unfulfilled relationship with God.Unlike religion, a

relationship with God comes from His amazing love and grace reaching

out to us. It's always been God's desire to reveal Himself to us since

creation. In the beginning, God desired an everlasting, loving relationship

with man. Adam was made in God's image then chosen to wisely manage

“everything that [had] the breath of life in it.” We were designed for

relationships. Therefore, God provided Eve as a companion so Adam

could experience an intimate union. But Adam chose to reject and

disobey God's command, producing sin which separated mankind from

God, resulting in shame and judgment.Through Jesus Christ, God gave us

the most amazing gift—the opportunity to spend eternity with God if we

trust in Him. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal

life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23). God became a human being

in the Person of Jesus Christ to take on our sin, be killed, and then be

raised to life again, proving His victory over sin and death. “Therefore,

there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”

(Romans 8:1). If we accept this gift, we have become acceptable to God

and can have a relationship with Him.
