Relationship Patterns

 There are different relationship patterns that we all have cultivated with God in our walk. I don’t have any attributable names but will relate people's experiences that I have encountered over time.

The first people set believe and are convinced in their reasoning that there is no God and so deny Him in everything and everywhere, they are mostly referred to as atheists.

The second people set are those that affirm the existence of a sovereign God, but do not really want to have anything to do with Him.

The third people set only see the need for God when they need to get things done other than cultivate a pure fellowship attitude with Him, in other words, the relationship pattern involves using God to actualize personal ambitions.

The fourth people set acknowledge God as their own creator as yet the creator of the heavens and the earth, knowing Him as owner and giving their totality to Him, giving Him a place of honour and reverence, relating with Him as their own God and that there is none other besides Him, giving Him first place in everything as a father.

That fourth pattern is that which Paul had with God, as is here depicted ‘and My God Phil 4:19. We emphasize on assurance of salvation, which is a strong personal conviction in what you believe and whom you believe 2 Tim 1:12, are you persuaded about your faith, do you pay attention to the spirit’s witness Rom 8:16. 

The living model places you in one of these four patterns, which is yours?
