I have learnt many things since I began this spiritual journey of seeking God, precious lessons and values that have helped me continue steadfastly in God so that I can boldly say seeking God is the best thing that has happened to my spiritual life. However, there is one particular lesson of note about seeking God I have also come to learn through personal experience, and it is the fact that seeking God does not immune us from stumbling or falling. Sometimes one loses focus of the journey being enticed by vain side attractions, and sometimes one falls (into temptation). As a result, some folks quit seeking God because, in their understanding, being gulty of either has automatically disqualified them from the journey. On the contrary, our stumbling or falling or losing focus do not mark the end of our spiritual journey of seeking God. They do not and can never disqualify us from knowing God personally. If anything, they are among the many difficulties and challenges we MUST encounter in our search for God. What is most important is that we never stay that way, we recognise and admit our wrongs and weaknesses, and continue our journey as though it were never interrupted. That is victory...that is seeking God faithfully. For those seeking, those yet to seek, and those who may have stopped seeking for the same or similar reason, I hope you find this piece of writing quite useful. |

WEEKLY UPDATE Should I rightly call it that seeing it has been quite long since I made any updates? Well, at least, I plan to be consistent with the weekly updates barring some circumstances. Besides, I prefer the weekly updates to any other timeframe. So, yea, God seems to be a Master of silence, a very great contrast to the God whose voice dominated the entire Bible. Hmm. Will keep on till I know Him like Abraham, Samuel, David, Isaiah, Peter and many others did. Another thing, I've incorporated Biblical meditation into my daily Listening Prayer. This is not to 'enhance' my spiritual perception of the voice of God but because it suits my circumstances quite well. In seeking God, you can decide either to be consistent with Biblical meditation or plain listening prayer. None, I repeat, none is better than the other. The key to success in seeking God is CONSISTENCY. Lately, I've been having problems with discipline, another important factor in seeking God. I have made decisions to help me return to maintaining discipline in my prayer life. Will see how it turns out this week and next. I'm very positive about it since it will not be the first of its kind. Only God knows the appointed day of my journey's fulfilment. Till then, I pray He continually supplies me the grace to end this journey successfully because better is the end of a thing than its beginning. |

Woah, congrats Torchwave, you did it. God's promises are sure forever!!! *Proverbs 8:17 - I love those who love me; And those who diligently seek me will find me. *Deutoronomy 4:29 - But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul. *Jeremiah 29:13 - You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. *1 Chronicles 28:9 ...for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts If you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever. *1 Chronicles 16:11 - Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually! Blessed are thou, Torchwave  1 Like |

Thanks @Torchwave just like Paul.. *[[Phi 3:10]] KJV* That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; I have same passion Bro but the message of today is choking my Spirit.. I pray our hunger and taste is satisfied! |
