5 ways to increase relationship with God
Ever had that feeling of being far away from God? Or of trying to worship God in the spirit as the Bible says but unable to feel the closeness still?
This can happen even in the absence of sin. So finally how can we achieve this closeness?
That’s why I’m here to help bring out the secrets that will help you develop so much closeness to God.
Before we continue read this passage from the Bible ;
2peter 1:3-9
His Divine power has given us everything we need for a Godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by His own Glory and goodness.
Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith, goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;
and to knowledge, self-control; and to self control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.

Five ways to increase relationship with God
Avoid Sin .
Know God.
Practice Bible verses.
Praise God Worship God.
Go to church oftenly.
1. Avoid Sin:
In as much as I said the absence of sin doesn’t guarantee closeness to God, it plays a great role in it.
The Bible says God hates sin. So making sin your enemy, takes you a step closer to God.
2. Know God:
You can’t say you are close to a person you know little or nothing about.
That’s not possible. If you have to get close to someone, you have to learn and know about them.
There’s no good relationship without interaction or proper communication
So to get another step closer to God, you need to know him through his word.
There’s a lot to learn about God, so you shouldn’t get tired.
3. Practice Bible verses: The verse above and other related verses will build your relationship stronger with God the almighty.
The Bible has given a great indication on getting closer to God
The second to the last verse mean these qualities will help you to be more effective and productive
If and only if it is in increasing measure
That is, it is something that has to be developing and growing everyday.
So practicing these characteristics everyday will only take you closer and closer to God.
4. Praise and Worship God:
When you praise and Worship God, he comes down especially when your life is a sweet fragrance unto him
That is when your life is acceptable to Him by living according to his ways
Intense worship will leave you surrounded by the deep feeling of God’s presence physically.
5. Go to church: To bind your relationship with God, always go to church and not only on Sundays, also attend every midweek meeting. Also practice to teach the word of God to others.
Dear brother and sister, putting the above points to practice can boost your relationship with God to a different stage.
