The Benefit of Intimacy 2

God wants dead men; only dead men are consistent, they do not change nor vary their routine and He requires that you are dead to the flesh and pleasures of this world. The success of your day’s activities is determined by what you gained in your intimate fellowship with Him at the break of that day. The strength to overcome, wisdom for good decision and all the benefits that will make your day fulfilling is received in your intimacy with God.
Daniel 11:32b “But they that know their God shall be strong and do exploits” you will agree that you cannot know someone you hardly see or spend time with. As you begin to spend time daily in intimacy with God, you get more and familiar with Him. Any day you intimate with God and get to know something new about Him; you are supernaturally endowed with strength to do exploit that day.
Each day presents different challenges, trials and temptations to weigh you down (Matthew 6:34a), but there is a strength to overcome and remain on top which only comes from your knowledge of who God is to you that particular day. Who God is to you yesterday is not relevant to the circumstance that faces you today. You must have a fresh knowledge of Him every day and this only comes from your intimacy with Him. Those who faint in the days of adversity are those whose strength are small and this is the result of not spending quality time in His presence.
The ability you need to perform, become and overcome is gotten in the place of intimacy. The more time you spend with Him, the more you get to know Him and your strength for exploits will increase from level of performance to another without struggle.
  Job 22:21-29, It opens with an instruction “Acquaint now yourself with Him” to acquaint talks about intimacy; it means to become familiar with something or someone. This familiarity can only be gotten when you begin to spend time on a regular and consistent basis with Him. You cannot run life’s race, overcome its tribulation and win the battles all by yourself; you need to be strengthen by Him. Just as His mercies are new every day so is His strength, therefore package yourself for the place of intimacy and receive endless flow of energy that comes directly from the source.
