*TURNING UNTO THE LORD*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  11 November 2024:Share*


SCRIPTURE: Then turned his face to the wall, and Prayed unto the LORD, saying - *2 Kings 20:2*


*One of the Major turns a man can make in Life is to the Lord.*


*Hezekiah the king turned to the Lord.*


*What does it mean to turn unto the Lord?*


*(1)* Turning away from our Wicked ways - *2 Chronicles 7:14, Isaiah 55:7*


*(2)* Turning away from men.


Isaiah the Prophet said in the year that King Uzziah died, I saw also the Lord sitting upon a Throne, high and lifted up - *Isaiah 6:1*


*(3)* Turning away from Possessions unto Promises.


*Promises are Eternal while Possessions are Temporal.*


God spoke to Abram when Lot was separated from him, lift up your eyes from whence thou art - *Genesis 13:14*


*(4)* Turning away from the Storms of Life - *Matthew 14:30*


*(5)* Enter into a Deeper Relationship with the Lord.


*In our Anchor Text above, when Hezekiah turned unto the Lord, he entered into a Deeper Relationship with the Lord.* 


*Just as Hezekiah, Moses desired a Deeper Relationship with the Lord hence he was spending days on Mount Sinai - Exodus 19*


*The Relationship was so Deep that God spoke with Moses face to face as a Man speaks with a friend - Exodus 33:11*


*It is extremely Glorious to turn unto the Lord.*


The Bible says they looked unto Him and were Lightened and their faces were not ashamed - *Psalms 34:5*


*Prayer:*

Father, Please help me to enter into a Deeper Relationship with You in Jesus Christ Name.
