God is our Father and as reasonable children we ought to seek to
be in His presence and good books.
How can we continually live in harmony with God?
Praise: Is the expression one's respect and gratitude toward God. God does not joke with praise. He will not share his glory with anyone. If we are to continue to please Him, we must continue to praise Him. When you praise God, do it with all your heart. Give all the glory to God in praises.
Adoration: Is the expression of love or admiration towards God. Adoration is a deep feeling of love, you just love Him regardless of whether what you are passing through is favourable or not.
Singing: There is no doubt that God loves music. Can you image what gathering of believers would be like if we didn't sing? If we are truly desirous of the presence of God, a rich blend of spiritual songs must never be far from our lips.
Service: God is interested in what you can do for Him. It is falsehood to say we can not do anything for God. God expects us to preach the gospel, support the ministry, help our fellowmen and do all that He wants to do in the physical world. God expects us to be available for service. If you don't have time to serve God, you are not ready for His presence.
Word: We cannot do anything without the word of God. If you are still far from your Bible you are still far from God. God created everything by His word and His word never fails. Your relationship with God will only thrive if you are enriched with His word.
Obedience: There is no price for Bible scholars if they do not obey the word. People commit sin today not because they do not know the word but because they do not obey the word. The ultimate proof of your love for God is your obedience to His word.
Reverence: Is deep respect for God, better put, Fear of God. In the old testament days people were weary of God because He was expressly the consuming fire. He is still the consuming fire today but with much grace. However, grace is not a license to sin, it is a license to love. Do you fear God? Or do you take His grace for granted?
Diligence: Even faith without works is dead, what then can be our excuse against hard work. God is not a friend to lazy people. You cannot say you are child of God and so will not do anything profitable. Wake up! God calls us to work out our breakthrough under the watchful eyes of His abundance.
