*"STAYING PASSIONATE"*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord's people who are in need. Practice hospitality."* (Romans 12:11-13(NIV))
_Bible Insight:_
The number one thing the enemy loves to steal from believers is the Passion for God and the ways of God. Everything believers go through can become traps the enemy designed, primarily targeted at taking away that passion in them for God! Once that's achieved, the faith of the believer is already overpowered or endangered or almost so.
The 21st century believer has so many hurdles like distractions and demands that easily sap one's energy. These are not new per se, but only come in more steady or subtle ways that end up taking one off balance easily. The greatest strategy of the enemy today is to preoccupy the believer so much that there will be a drop in the level of one's devotion, passion and consecration to God, if care is not taking.
Writing by divine prophetic insight, the scriptures warns us *"Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord"* King James version says, *"Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord"* Be aware that "business" is not limited in this context to financially related transactions. Slothfulness is never encouraged in every endeavour of a believer.
The challenge before us is clear-- keep your spiritual fervor! Fervency is a necessity for acceptable service in God's kingdom! It is not enough you are serving, you must serve acceptably. To serve God acceptably, you must keep your spiritual fervor, that is, your fervency or passion!
_MEDITATION:_
*"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. THE ZEAL OF THE LORD OF HOSTS WILL PERFORM THIS."* (Isaiah 9:6-7 (KJV))
