Evaluating My Relationship With My FATHER
Love GOD, your GOD, with your whole heart: love HIM with all that’s in you, love HIM with all you’ve got! [Deut. 6:5 MSG] This month I have decided to evaluate my relationship with my FATHER. What an eye-opening experience it has been for me so far and the month is only two days young. Today, I was shown that I had allowed unawaredly my ministry to take the place of my FATHER. Wow, I was shocked by this revelation. However, I am glad that I was shown the error of my way through Holy Spirit. I hate all forms of idol worshipping and all of us either used to be idol worshippers or currently are idol worshippers.

But this is GOD’s Grace and Mercy in action here. Because I am thinking that I am spending the quality time needed to continue building a relationship with my FATHER when in actuality I am not. Then I do the work of evangelism either electronically, on the telephone, or in person. All of which take up a good portion of my day. However, I have yet to spend quality time alone with my FATHER. Major mistake. One of the attributes that FATHER made me with is tunnel vision. Once I am focused I do not like to have my focus broken. Those of you who are made this way understand what it is to have tunnel vision. So, today I made it appoint that because I will be focusing on my relationship with The FATHER, JESUS, and Holy Ghost I must put myself in the application of putting my FATHER back in my first morning time because this is when I am at my…
