Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 27 August 2026 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche

TOPIC: Dimensions Of Faith – Intimacy With God.

SCRIPTURE: But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. – Hebrews 11:6.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The deeper your relationship with God, the stronger your confidence and faith in Him.

THE MESSAGE

Yesterday, we looked at a critical dimension or department of faith, which is “The Right Utterance.” We established that the proof of conviction is declaration. That is, once conviction becomes strong enough in your heart, it will escape through your mouth even without your permission.

Today, we shall be looking at yet another dimension of faith, which is Intimacy with God. People of faith are people who know God. Faith is not for people who have no relationship with God. Genuine faith flows from intimacy with God.

Hebrews 11:6 says, Without faith it is impossible to please God. There are people whose lives truly please God because they diligently seek Him and maintain deep fellowship with Him.

When people walk closely with God, three things happen to them:

First, they get to know God. As they know Him, it becomes easier for them to trust Him because it is almost totally impossible to truly trust a stranger. Many times, our doubt in God is simply proof that we do not know Him enough. The stronger your relationship with God, the stronger your confidence or ability to trust Him.

Secondly, relationship is the basis for requests. The closer you are to someone, the more confident you are to ask them, and the more certain you are that your request will be granted. As believers interact with God continually, they grow in confidence concerning His faithfulness, ability and willingness to answer their prayers.

Thirdly, God imparts Himself on those who stay close to Him. 2 Corinthians 3:18 says that as we behold Him, we are changed into the same image. The more you look at God, the more you look like Him. And in God, there is no fear, no doubt, and no unbelief; only possibility.

Some time ago, we went to Pakistan for a crusade. On the second day, we were advised not to leave the hotel because security agencies could not guarantee our safety. We remained indoors and held a meeting in the hotel before flying out.

Within one year, there was a burden to return. As I considered it, fear was absent because once I know I am on God’s assignment, anxiety disappears. If it is my personal mission, fear may arise, but if God sends me, then He is responsible for the outcome. I don’t need to beg or pressure anyone because He who sends me also supplies all my needs.

Beloved, intimacy with God destroys fear and builds unshakable confidence in Him.

REMEMBER THIS: The deeper your intimacy with God, the stronger your faith and confidence in Him.

ASSIGNMENT(S):

Develop a deeper prayer and Word study life with God daily.
Refuse to allow fear and doubt dominate your heart.
Build your confidence in God by meditating on His faithfulness.
PRAYER: Father, draw me closer to Yourself and help me to know You more deeply. Deliver me from fear, doubt, and unbelief, and fill my heart with unshakable confidence in You, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
