Sunday Daily Devotional By Pastor David Okoye (Ambassadors Diet 17th July, 2016) – Constantly Stirred Up

“That he would grant you, according to the
riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the
inner man.” Ephesians 3:16 

There is a popular song that says
“sometimes you have to encourage yourself in the Lord.” As you walk
with The Lord, there will be times you might begin to become weak in
your spirit man. At this point, the God-child would search for the
fervency he once had serving the Lord and would seem not to
find it. 

Not necessarily because he had sinned, but he would find that
his fervency and fire serving the Lord is not as it should be. He would
find himself struggling to do the same things he is accustomed to doing
for the Lord. If this God-child is not learned, the devil will get him
to believe that God has turned His back on him, or that he is no longer a
Child of God. But this is not true.

In our opening text scripture
tells to “be strengthened with might by His Spirit in our inner man.”
Note that you will not have need to be strengthened if you were never
weak.

So the Father knows that there are times in your life when you
will need strengthening. And, in John 14:27 (AMP), Scripture gives one
of the qualities of The Spirit of God we have received as the
Strengthener. Meaning, that the Holy Ghost that resides inside of you,
is your strengthener; He strengthens you and maintains that strength. 

 Oh! Little wonder, The Apostle Paul admonished Timothy to continually
stir up the gift of God in him. 

The Spirit of God is the most precious
gift that has been given to the church. When you get to such points
where you think you can’t go on, don’t give up. Instead, take some time
and stir the waters within you. Speak in tongues, listen to messages or
spirit lifting songs. Always remember that God’s strength is made
perfect in your weakness. 

He doesn’t condemn your weakness but remaining
in that state is dangerous for you. 

DECLARATION
I won’t give
up in my down times. I am strengthened and my strength is maintained by
God’s Spirit. His strength is made perfect in my weakness. Glory to God!
