Text: “Wherefore lift up the hands which hang
down, and the feeble knees: And make straight paths for your feet, lest that
which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it be healed.” Heb 12:12-13
I want to welcome you to
this New Month. I’m sure God’s word will bless you this month. We spend lots of
money taking care of our physical health. Millions of naira is spent yearly to
stay fit physically. But more serious is the spiritual state of our lives. If
we are as concerned with our spiritual life as we are the physical life, the
world will be a better place. The word ‘lame’ in our opening verse is not a
physical one but a spiritual one. Lameness here means spiritually sick.
The poorest man on the
face of the earth is a man that has no connection with God. He may have money,
but he is spiritually bankrupt.. The implications of been spiritually sick has
eternal consequences. This is why we cannot take this for granted. We need
healing spiritually when we notice the following:
When you don’t have any
desire for the things of God. When you have to be reminded over and over again
about spiritual things, something is wrong.
When living right is a
struggle. You find yourself making more compromise than taking a stand for what
is right.
Obvious lack of desire
for prayer and the word of God. This is the basis of a vibrant Christian life.
When those things are lacking the Christian life is at a risk.
The spiritual state of a
man affects every area of his life. When the spiritual base of a man is weak
his entire life will be weak. When the spiritual life is strong it will also
have a direct effect on everything else. As a student when you are spiritually
sound you’ll be academically sound. Take charge of your spiritual state it will
enhance everything else in your life.
PRAYER:
Lord heal every lameness in my spiritual life. I
receive healing in my spirit, soul and body.
