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 program your spirit for the triumphant life of ever-increasing glory. Practice 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.

'Take Charge of Your Life'

Many a time, we look at our friends' life and wonder how successful life they are leading and they have come a long way. Does it make you feel envious? Do you start feeling dejected at your own? If yes, it clearly indicates that you are not satisfied with the way you are living and what you have achieved so far.

Actually, it happens to everyone, but here what you need to understand is it 'You' who can change the way you have been living your life. You have the power and capabilities to change your destiny and achieve everything all you have ever wanted. Nobody is going to be your true mate but you. Give your dreams wings to fly; understand the purpose of your birth; embrace everything that has been decided by God. Take the plunge, go an extra mile to achieve your targets and don't let circumstances suck your zest. Once you have conquered yourself, you will start living a life worth inspiring.
 

“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). Words are powerful; they actually constitute the building blocks of our lives. Whether you know it or not, you built whatever life you're living right now with your words. If for any reason, you're dissatisfied with your present circumstances, you can take charge of your life and steer it away from where it is now to where you want it to be. The Bible commands us that the Word of God (Hebrews 11:3) framed the world.

God gave form, beauty and order to the world through His spoken Word; He spoke creation into existence. Genesis 1:2 says, “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep, this was the chaotic picture of the earth before God took charge and turned things around by His Spirit, through the spoken Word. He said, “let there be light: and there was light (Genesis 1:3). He spoke forth light, to replace darkness. Likewise, as a child of God, you can take charge of the circumstances of your life and turn things around for your good. It doesn't matter what condition you may be in right now; give the word and there'll be a change.

God gave us His Word as a tool with which to build our lives, and frame our world. You can create for yourself a victorious life of success, peace and prosperity through the Word of God in your mouth. The Psalmist describes the glorious life of the one who constantly talks or meditates on the Word: “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bring forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper (Psalm 1:3). Take charge of your life today and make it what you want it to be! Meditate and talk God's Word concerning your health, success, victory and prosperity.
