Hey Guys, I was gonna take a small break from the blog because I'm on spring break, but this one just hit me, so here it is!
Looking in the mirror, I made a lot of changes and I will be the first to say I need to make more! HA! There is always areas of improvement the most physically fit person still wants to concentrate on so they can be evenly distributed or be the the total package so to speak. To be honest, this mindset is the one everyone should have! Self included!
Looking at things spiritually of course, I see now that a workout regiment must ensued. After all, ONLY WHAT YOU EXERCISE WILL DEVELOP!!! We want to be so used of God ,be so anointed, and this so called "super saint", but we're weak in certain areas that would otherwise propel you in our spiritual walk. Were are strong in praising God, but weak at prayer. We workout our tithing muscles, but our faithfulness routine has run its course. We must realize that we serve a God of balance, you can not counterweight God's expectations by over supplementing the area of lack with a area of strength. Yes, you may be great at singing. So you're the choir director, sing on the praise team, hold music workshops, and working on your CD. But God is saying you are also called to preach the word. But since your stronger at singing, you overemphasize in order to accommodate for the lack therof of preaching the word. You are now being ineffective because guess what, your music ministry simply wont reach everybody. God would that all men would be saved. Your underdeveloped areas need to be as strong as your already developed areas in order for God to use you how HE sees fit. not what we want to do for God. It's time to stop looking at the workout equipment and actually start using it.
When we are full of the holy ghost that means, in whatever area God is lending you to work in the vineyard at that time must be done in decency and in order and also in excellence. God does not do lazy sit-ups, run 3 laps in stead of 4, or bench press 2 reps when the requirement was 3. He does everything to the max and lacks nothing. We don't serve a part time God. And he doesn't want any partially developed children. The enemy we are waging war against is throwing out all the stops. We need to train for the battle at hand! Your very life depends on it.
At the end of the day, talk is cheap. Your Action should precede your words. If not, your words have nothing to stand on, because your foundation is your action. Of course, speak those things that are not as thought they were and of course write the vision and make it plain. But if all we are doing is talking on what were going to do, dreaming off what were to become, nothing will come of it. The book of James lets us know that faith without our works is dead. Action brings life!
If we are going to attain and accomplish our lofty goals, then we need a new workout plan. Tighten that area of indecision and complacency. Strengthen your prayer life and consecration times with God. Workout your salvation with fear and trembling!! lol. Once the routine is started then its proven it will be easier to stay on it and you'll find that you feel a lot better that you have. I mean come on, look at who we have for a personal trainer! Allow Him to whip you into spiritual shape so you can be well prepared to face the enemy and your dreams that God has given you. Saints, it's time to hit the Gym!
