MAINTAINING SPIRITUAL INTENSITY

OVERVIEW
SCRIPTURE: Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord. – Romans 12:11

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Anytime your soul begins to lack the Word of God, you begin to run down spiritually.

The most important aspect of a man’s life is his spiritual life. You can locate your bearing in life if your spiritual bearing is right. Many people begin well with God but after a while, they begin to slack in their devotion to God.

What does it take to maintain spiritual intensity?
1. Identify and continually review your spiritual goals and vision for the year. Every time you review your vision, it imparts passion, passion provokes action, action fuels motion and motion gives acceleration.
2. Maintain a consistent, habitual and consecrational schedule of fasting at least once or twice a week (Isaiah 40:31)
3. Maintain a consistent diet of fresh Word (Psalm 39:3). Anytime your soul begins to lack the Word of God, you begin to run down spiritually.
4. Maintain consistent fellowship with the brethren. Do not be over-confident of your personal spirituality.
5. Accept spiritual responsibility. This is when you come to a point where your prayer life is focused on other people more than yourself.
6. Avoid the wrong company
7. Maintain a permanent atmosphere of God’s Presence.

Remember this: Anytime your soul begins to lack the Word of God, you begin to run down spiritually.
