The Blessed Life: How To Have Quiet Time.

In this podcast episode, Apostle Mtho outlines a practical framework for establishing a daily quiet time, which he defines as a scheduled, intimate appointment with God. To make this time effective, he suggests choosing a consistent time when you are at your best (e.g., 5 a.m. or late at night), withdrawing from people and distractions like social media, and creating a conducive atmosphere using worship music or a specific prayer location. During this time, he recommends a seven-step process: starting with a prayer of thanksgiving, reading a chapter of the Bible (starting with the Gospels or a devotional like Rhapsody of Realities), and then meditating on specific verses that "jump out" at you. He emphasizes that meditation involves thinking deeply about how the text applies to your life by asking five key questions: what it teaches about God’s nature, whether there is a promise to claim, a command to obey, a warning to heed, or a specific prayer to pray.
