Developing an affinity with Jesus!

This is the most important thing a human being can ever do in his life. 

The Holy Spirit spoke the word affinity to me today which is defined as a spontaneous or natural attraction for Jesus. It is characterized by the qualities of empathy and rapport.

The affinity is not built on intellect or emotions, it is built on the unconditional love of Jesus and faith in His promises.

It is an action of opening up your heart to accept Jesus without compromise.

It is developed by taking Jesus seriously and zealously seeking His will for your life.

Developing an affinity with Jesus happens through prayer, reading the Bible and listening for His voice.

The affinity becomes stronger by learning to be obedient to the instructions of Jesus regardless of the personal cost or lack of logic. Obedience is saying yes to Jesus by faith.

The affinity is built on repentance from sin and the blood of Christ. The devoted believer sees his natural condition at birth and realizes Jesus is the only way to become clean. 

The affinity is deepened by submitting to the authority of the Holy Spirit. He knows you better than you know yourself and desires to guide your decision making and create the order and simplicity of Jesus in your life.

Jesus is not easy to follow. He engineers difficult trials in the life of a believer. The affinity with Jesus allows a believer to have peace and protection knowing Jesus delivers His people from troubles and adversity.

Build your affinity with Jesus today by praying “Not my will but Yours be done.”
