Quiet time has been called alot of things morning watch,personal devotions,appointmet with GOD,or personal time.Quiet time is simply a daily time of personal fellowship with God through the Word and Prayer.It is a time we deliberately set aside in which to meet with him.The objective is that we might grow in our personal relationship with God,so that we can know him,lovehim,and become more like him.The Lord has showed me 3aspects why we should some quiet time; why we should have quiet time,how to have a meaningful time with God,and how to deal with common problems that arise during our quiet times. Why is a legitmate question. What are some good reason for it? The Bible gives 3majors reasons: 1Because we need felloeship with God, 2Because it is our privileges as Christians,3Because we gain tremendous benefits from it. Because we as Christians now rightly related to eternal God of heaven and earth, we must have regular fellowship with him in which we get to know him and love him more intimately.Why is daily fellowship with God so important? 1.We were created to have fellowship with God. God created people in his own image for the purpose of fellowship.We are the only creatures in all creation that have fellowship with Adam that had fellowship perfectly in the Garden of Eden before the Fall.(see Gen 2-3) 2Jesus died on the cross so that fellowship could be restored.When Adam sinned, his fellowship with God was broke.And all of us sinners who have followed in Adam's footsteps cannot by nature have fellowship with a pure and holy God.But considered that relationship important enough to send his Son to this world to die for our sins so that we might again have the privilege of a personal relationship with him. And God has called us Christian to have fellowship with them.(1Cor.1:9;1John1:3-4) 3.The regular quiet time during Jesus 'ministry was a source of his strength. Personal fellowship with his Father in heaven was the top priority of Jesus'life (SEE Mark 1;35;Luke5;16;22;39-44)He was never too busy for it; in fact when his ministry wasthe busiest, that's when he made certain that he kept in daily touch with the Father (see John 5:30).If Jesus needed this time with God,how much we need it. 4 Every great man or woman of God throughout history has spent much time alone with God.Anyone who has been used mightily by the Lord was a person of the Word and prayer.The regular quiet timevwas the one thing they had in common. The common denominator among MOSES DAVID DANIEL PAUL BILLY GRAHAM and all the other saints of history is that they all spent much time with God in personal fellowship.There writings and miistrises clearly show this.Someone said,"If you want to fd out what a man is really, find out what he is like alone with God."Martin Luther the father of reformation ,once said I have so much to do today that I must spend at least three hours in prayer." The busier he was, the more time he needed with God.If you are too busy to have a quiet time, then you're too busy! 5.We cannot be healthy,growing Christian without daily fellowship with the Lord.The quiet time is not just a nice suggestion;it's is a vital necessity for a child of God. It absolutely essential for Christian growth and maturity.Have you ever gone without food for a day? If we kept it up we would get sick and weak. The same is true in your spiritual life,for the Bible is the necessary food for your soul.If you go without reading it very long very long, you will get spiritually weak and sick. But yet many Christians get by with one "meal" per week( for some,perhaps two meals) in church on Sundays.You would not survive long on one or two physical meals per week, so how can you in your spiritual life? Job considered the Word of God more necessary than his daily food(Job 23:12). Jesus quoting the Old Testament, declared that man needs to live by every word coming from God (Matt.4:4;Deut 8:3) Peter called the Scriptures nourishing milk (1Peter 2:2; and the writer to the Hebrews thought of the Word as solid food (Heb.5:14) Have you ever gone without a bath? If you have, then you know how sticky you feel after a while and how your odors get so pronounced.The Bible says that when we read the Word of God, we are cleansed.A daily quiet time as a spiritual bath. Many of us Christians who would not think of offending their friends by not bathing regularly do not realize that they can be offensive to the Lord with their spiritual odors !(Psalms 119:9 Eph. 5:26; John 15:3) Look at the observations, you can conclude that if you are not haveing a regular quiet time.........YOU are missing out on the privilege for which you were created. YOU ae rejecting that which Jesus died for to make possible.YOU will never experience the same power and refreshment Jesus did. You will never be used greatly by God. You will remain a weak and sickly Christian all your life. " But I dont have the time !" is excuse we hear so often. Every person in the world has exactly the same amount of time each week----168 hours. You will spend some of those hours on things you think are important. You dont have time for everything; you must mae the time for things that really count,Its not a matter of time, but a matter of priorties. What is really important to you? The key to makeing time for quiet time is your commitment to Christ and the kingdom of God. Jesus stated ,"Seek first his kingdomand his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well"(Matt 6:33). Put God first in your life and you will have more time.Don't let anything rob you of time of fellowship with the Lord. Preserve it all costs. If Jesus Christ is first in our life, you ought to give him the first part of everyday . Your quiet time should be the absolute number one priority and commitment of your life.
