Hi God, Bye.

that's how we peep at God with a Hi

How long can you stand a boyfriend/ girlfriend/fiancee/ husband who doesn’t communicate? I bet if your boyfriend/ fiance/ husband treats you that way, you would break their nose. You know what I mean; if we are not getting the good morning signing up, the midday checking in and the goodnight signing off.

How can you jump onto a bus and the next second you want to get off? Why even bother join it in the first place?  We sit behind our bibles and we get up after a short time while we were chatting half the time with friends on social media. Who would be happy with his/her love interest if they are chatting on their phones the entire time they are having a serious conversation? If you have been skipping anger management class, I bet you would smash the phone.

The way we check up on our love interest shouldn’t exceed the way we talk to God; we are married to Him. We accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and personal Saviour and He is now the love of our lives yet we speak to Him occasionally. It might interest you to know that as brides, the way we treat our groom (Jesus Christ) is a replica of what is actually happening in our relationship; same for the gentlemen.

When we don’t speak to God or hear from Him a day, we shouldn’t feel comfortable. We should be worried that something is up but since we know the problem is not coming from God, we have to look no further than ourselves. Probably and most certainly, we are cheating on God.

Yes, you might have heard in Malachi that we rob God, which is very much true, yet again we cheat on Him with anything and everything you can think off. When faced with a situation, we call our love interest and ask them for their opinion whereas God has told us to come to Him with our burdens and load for He cares.  Yes it’s good to share our problems with them and keep them in the knowing but we put them first before God and we forget that it’s God who has the answer. We ought to share our plans with God as He has told us to do but we take it upon ourselves to administer it without seeking clarity from God. It’s just like a wife who prepares Fufu and soup then later calls her husband to ask what he would like to take for supper.

It’s about time we stop saying “Hi” to God and start actually having a real conversation with Him. When we speak to our love interest, we talk to them about everything we can think of; from how the day went, the look the lady at the bank gave us, how bad our lunch was, ask what dress we should wear to where, the lady who stole the show at the programme and a whole lot. We can develop that relationship with God too; remember He knows everything. Aside asking God for this or that we should talk to Him like the father-friend that He is. Let’s remember that how good our relationship with Him is would reflect our well our relationship with our love interest would be.

Let’s do this right…

Hi God, it’s me {insert name} thank you I am awake, I yawned several you know (*lolz*) – {time for praying into the day ahead and reading the scriptures. The communication is two-way. We talk to God and He talks to us through His word or audible voice} - am stepping out today. I like the shoes am wearing; they rock; let’s do this, we are a team. {Whenever we get the chance within the day we should still talk to Him} – Hmm, God, am so stressed. You know the call I had from home got me thinking a lot; I know, I know I am not supposed to worry but rather put it in prayer and you are going to handle it. I decree and declare……Amen. {After all is done and it’s time to go back to bed} – We are such a team daddy, I went through today without killing myself, you’ve got me every second. I am off to bed and I know you would guard me like always, it’s always nice having you around, the feeling is great, Bye.
