Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
It has been established that passion for God is a proof of authentic and functional spirituality. Your spirituality is a product of your passion for God. When your passion is weak, your spirituality would be weak.
And passion for God must be expressed in seeking and enjoying His Presence through prayer and in service to the cause of His Kingdom.
So, to have functional spirituality you must have the following passions:
i. Passion in prayer.
Passion for prayer is a major proof of authentic spirituality.
No wonder, 1 Thessalonians 5: 17 admonishes us to pray without ceasing.
Ephesians 6: 18 further corroborates it:
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.
When your spiritual life is functional, you would like to pray always and communicate with God. A healthy spiritual life puts your heart in a state of perpetual desire for more of God, and that pushes you to the place of prayer.
ii. Passion for service.
A functional spiritual life is a life that is given to the service of God. You would always want to serve God if your spiritual life is healthy.
Exodus 23:25 says,
And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
In Matthew 4:10, Jesus told Satan,
Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
A functional spiritual life has a passion to worship, and serve God.
That is why it is wrong when someone only goes to church to seek miracle or to feel good, and is not interested in rendering any service to God or reaching out to souls to save them.
Beloved, make up your mind to prioritize prayer and service to God.
REMEMBER THIS: A functional spiritual life is given to the service of God.
ASSIGNMENT:
- Make up your mind to always seek the Presence and Company of God in prayer.
- Serve God. Serve in the House of God. Serve God in soul winning.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace for a perpetual hunger and desire for You. Help me to have a buoyant prayer life and serve You with the whole of my life and all that I have got, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
