RHAPSODY OF REALITIES MONDAY, 7TH DECEMBER.
DEVELOP YOUR SPIRIT-NATURE.
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace,
which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all
them which are sanctified (Acts 20:32).
One very important thing
you must do consciously as a Christian is to develop your spirit-nature
and become more God-conscious in your daily walk. There’re Christians
who aren’t God-conscious, even though they’re born again; they haven’t
developed their spirits; they haven’t matured in their Christian walk.
When you develop your spirit, you’ll never be afraid of anything; you’ll
always be a victor. It makes no difference what happens with you or
around you; you’ll always be on top.
Have you ever observed
birds, and how they fly? Some can only fly at a certain height. A duck
may fly higher and longer than a chicken, but it can’t sustain itself
like a sparrow. And as fast and as wonderfully a sparrow may fly, it can
never fly as high as an eagle and sustain itself in the air. It’s like
airplanes too; some can only fly between thirty to thirty-eight thousand
feet above sea level. Some can fly at forty thousand feet, and can’t go
higher, no matter how they try. But some can fly at sixty thousand
feet.
Spiritually, it’s the same. Some Christians are “flying”
very high. Some want to fly high but they can’t, because they haven’t
developed their spirit-life for that level; so, when trouble strikes,
they’re overwhelmed and rattled by the turbulence. But the one who has
developed his spirit, soars like an eagle; he has the “speed” and “lift”
to go above turbulence. It makes no difference what your present
situation is; if you’d develop your spirit, you’ll always rise above the
turbulence. How do you develop your spirit?
God tells us in
Joshua 1:8 to meditate on His Word. That’s the secret for training and
developing your spirit for success. That’s how you programme your spirit
for the triumphant life of ever-increasing glory. Practise meditating
on the Word of God. When you study the Word, don’t just read through;
capture it into your heart, and learn to give the Word first place in
your life.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the glorious life I’ve received in Christ
Jesus. I keep my gaze on your Word, walking in the consciousness of my
divine origin and heritage! Thank you for making me triumphant always,
and in every place, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study:
1 Timothy 4:15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
Isaiah 40:30-31 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young
men shall utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew
their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall
run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
