Recovery Day 4

The challenges we encounter daily leave us with An Unnourished Soul and this is a passion killer. If you are not deliberate about nourishing your soul, you will lose your passion – your energy. Nourishment comes from spending time with God’s Word and applying His principles. You are responsible for keeping yourself fuelled and aflame. One of the biggest mistakes we make is confusing knowing with doing. You may know something and tweet about it but until you apply that knowledge it really does not become a part of you. An Unapplied Truth is a passion killer. Laying-on of hands for example, until you lay hands on the sick and they recover you cannot claim to know that truth. Applying God’s truth ignites passion; not applying the truth you know kills passion. 

One of the ways to remain on fire for God is to talk about Jesus. An Unexpressed Faith kills passion. Rick Warren puts it this way, “Impression without expression leads to depression.” Take the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea for example. Till today the Sea of Galilee supports commercial fishing because it takes in water from various channels and gives out. The Dead Sea on the other hand takes in but does not give out and as a result it is void of life. A lot of people are spiritually constipated. God has given you a unique life message to share with the world. Discover it and share it otherwise you will cheat the world and lose your passion.

The key to remaining fresh, energized, and passionate is keep your H.A.T. on - Hear, Act and Teach. Invest in books, read your Bible, and listen to audio resources. Then act on what you read and share it, even if it is with your children. 

Thought: When last did you - get nourished, apply the truth you know, and express your faith? Do you have your H.A.T. on?

Prayer [song]: I will come and bow down at Your feet Lord Jesus, in Your presence if fullness of Joy. There is nothing, there is no one who compares with You. I take pleasure in worshipping You Lord. Amen!
