Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor;
be aglow and burning with the Spirit,
serving the Lord (Romans 12:11 AMPC).
The tendency of fire is to burn out. So, for fire to be
sustained, it must be fuelled. The same is true of
your zeal and passion for the Lord and spiritual things.
Read our opening scripture again; it says, “Never lag in
zeal and in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning
with the Spirit, serving the Lord.”
In other words, be consistently ablaze for the Lord.
It’s your responsibility. Be a burning and a shining light.
Some may criticize you for it; they may call you a “fanatic”
or an extremist. Others may outrightly ridicule you and
persecute you for your spirituality, but that doesn’t matter.
What matters is that you’re doing the right thing, fulfilling
your purpose in Christ.
It’s the will of God for you to live in a continual state
of spiritual incandescence, always radiating His presence.
He wants you burning with the Spirit and manifesting His
life and power every day and in every place. The secret
is staying filled with the Spirit: “And be not drunk with
wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your
heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things
unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the
fear of God” (Ephesians 5:18-21).
Constantly fellowship with the Holy Spirit and meditate
on the Word. Pray often, especially for those in your world;
your cell members, your leaders, your church family, your
friends and loved ones, and those with whom you work
or do business. Write their names down and continue to
prevail in intercession for them.
There’s something about prevailing prayer; it’s one
of the ways to sustain your holy glow, the fire of the Spirit
that keeps you fervent and passionate about the things of
God. It doesn’t matter how much you’ve studied or how
much you know. It doesn’t matter what the Lord has told
you; you must stay in fellowship with Him through prayer;
otherwise, you could lose the spiritual fervour that should
accompany your knowledge.
There’s a passion, a divine glow that comes from
consistent, earnest prayer, and without it, your spiritual
energy could wane. So spend time in heartfelt intercession,
and you’ll always be lambent in the spirit.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for igniting my heart with passion
and zeal for the things of the Spirit. I remain steadfast
and burning with the Holy Ghost, serving you with joy
and power. I’m ever aglow, fervent in spirit, giving myself
continually to prayer and to the ministry of the Word, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.
