FERVENCY IN SPIRIT KEY TO EFFECTIVE SERVICE
TREASURES OF GRACE (Daily Devotional)
WEDNESDAY, 1ST FEBRUARY 2017
TOPIC: FERVENCY IN SPIRIT KEY TO EFFECTIVE SERVICE
SCRIPTURE: Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord - Romans 12:11
MEMORY VERSE: Revelation 2:18
DIGGING DEEP: The Spiritual influences the physical, it is a well known fact that the state of one's Spirituality is directly proportional to one's physicality. In other words your physical state is traceable to your Spiritual state; and that is why as believers our Spiritual state is very important. Our anchor Scripture states that we should be "fervent in spirit, serving the Lord". This implies that if we are fervent in spirit service to God wont be a problem. It also reveals that the reason why many are moribund in kingdom service today is because their spirit lacks fervency.
The word “fervent” is the Greek word zeo, which originally meant to boil. Our spiritual temperature must get to the boiling point. But how do we get to this point knowing that water can never boil until it is placed on fire.
1) Connect to the Holy Spirit: Matthew 3:11 says "As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." The presence of the Holy Spirit is the presence of fire. Everything in you boils when you are in intimate relationship with Him; your dreams receives fervency and so is your joy, peace, and so on.
2) Connect to the word: Jeremiah 23:29 says "Is not my word like fire ," declares the LORD..." Contact with the word impacts us with fire.
3) Connect with men of like faith: Not all believers believe in remaining hot and boiling for God. "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another" (Proverbs 27:17 NIV).
When you are on fire for the Lord and your spirit keeps boiling for Him, you will discover that kingdom service is the cheapest and easiest thing to ever do.
I pray for you today move from that cold ice state in the Spirit to a boiling state for the Lord in Jesus' Name.
PRAYER: O Lord i refuse to be cold set on your fire today, let my spirit boil for you today in Jesus' Name.
O Lord i activate fervent zeal for service in my life now in Jesus' Name.
