Alone with God




22 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. 24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.”
But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”

Genesis 32:22-26


When Jacob wrestles with God, he did not have his possessions, protection, nor the women he loved. He was alone with God and it was at that moment that God appeared to Him.

Because when we have people, objects, and other distractions, we don't have the revolt to seek God with our all. Why? Because we have all those things to fall back on.

When we are alone, when we have no friends, no boyfriend/girlfriend, possessions, nothing to hold on to, its at this moment in our life when we say "God, if you are not with me, if you do not bless me, I am lost". We either put all our trust in God, or were lost.

Take advantage of this Campaign, and be alone with God and do not let Him go until He blesses you.
