FEEDING YOUR SPIRIT BEING: WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Today, I decided to go to our monthly TEACHING publication websites – ACHIEVERS FAITH DIGEST – to feed my spirit being out of it with a publication that was pressing on and on in my spirit. Blessedly, I stumble at the publication which was AFD FEBRUARY 2021 EDITION entitled “GOD’S BATTLE AXE & WEAPONS OF WAR”. Then I came to a section called FAITH IN PRACTICE, to read a write up written by my wife Faith, that is entitled “KEEP AT IT . . .”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Though it was a short writ, yet, it was so inspiring, revealing and empowering that I stopped momentarily to ponder over the writ for a while; then I beckoned on her to come to the Office for a reading while I leave the vicinity to get on doing what she was doing for her to at least compensate; she was unaware while I called her to come to read something for herself with an instruction of not saying anything back to me afterward, just as I didn’t say anything about it to her for each to make individual work of grace on it respectively. She came to the office as expected and did read the writ twice as I did ask her to do. I guess she might have read it more than twice because she stayed longer than I thought considering it’s a short writ knowing her proficiency to reading; and she later came off the office in awe and I looked at her face knowing some awakening and good is going on just as I felt too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Having said the above, I felt constrained to put it up in my spirit to give someone here something to ponder about. I pray you will be blessed by this piece of writ by my wife FAITH entitled:<\/span><\/p>\n

KEEP AT IT . . .<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose to work smart than to work hard. Diligence involves working consistently in order to gain a valuable skill.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to learn to play the piano, 15 minutes a day, each day of practice is much more beneficial than two hours on one day, and then another one a half hour a few days later followed by an hour the following week and so on. In-fact, this is what a music teacher is likely to advise you to do. In my case, evidently as I felt that I didn\u2019t have enough time to practice every day, I did it whenever I could. Ages later – I still couldn\u2019t play a reasonable tune. Wasted time and effort. Be consistent, be diligent, be intentional in your bid to become a master in a skill.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the same way – because the goal for you as a child of God is a great relationship with Father God, spend quality time in fellowship and prayer rather than binge prayer sessions now and again or when the need arises. This normally refers to when people have a problem and frantically seek for answers. God is still faithful, but you are not doing yourself any favours. You could have a healthy, fulfilling relationship that would be of benefit to your whole life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Psalm 16:11 <\/strong>. . . You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Hebrews 11:6<\/strong> . . . for whoever comes [near] to God must necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Proverbs 22:29<\/strong> . . . Do you see a man skillful and experienced in his work? He will stand [in honour] before kings; He will not stand before obscure men.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Short, quality periods in conversation with the Lord are effective in growing in your spiritual walk and life. You can spend a lot of time too – but do this all the time and KEEP AT IT. On a daily basis for example. The good thing is that you do not need a designated venue, position or time – or to face a particular direction at a certain volume. Right where you are is good enough. Daily strategic reading and studying of the Word of God is beneficial – if 20 minutes is all you have to begin with, start there and then keep doing it. Wake up earlier if that is possible, schedule your time to fit your devotional time. Invest time into a flourishing spiritual walk.<\/span><\/p>\n

The spirit that conquers is the one that vows to get the job done, starts and keeps at it until it is done. There may be challenges along the way, but the key is in keeping at it and not giving up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Matthew 6:33<\/strong> . . . seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Hebrews 5:14<\/strong> . . . Solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Diligence means to work smart – not work hard – Other examples of the benefits of consistency and diligence are:<\/span><\/p>\n
