There are many people who begin their journey with God with zeal but don’t continue with the same zeal. When they get born again, learn the things of the Spirit, learn the lessons of faith, and act on them, they get instant results because of God’s baby-favours, and they love it. But as they grow in Christ, God expects them to grow, to learn to fight their fight of faith, to overcome challenges, and to think beyond themselves and be kingdom-minded people; that’s when some folks withdraw from God. The same God whom they loved is now no longer interesting to them. God doesn’t rejoice in such people, and hence, the devil gets an open chance in the lives of such people.

Some people always want to run away from the works committed to their hands in the Kingdom. They just want to enjoy the good things that come as a package with the Gospel, but sadly, they don’t want to stand for the Gospel. However, they forget that this Gospel is the only secret to promotion and greatness. Jesus said, “And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.” (Matthew 19:29–30).

No one who has walked with God since Bible days till today has ever been broke, sick, or cast down. The times of challenges and tribulations are tests, and you must stand as a worthy child in those times, so that He may grant you the inheritance which was meant for you. Don’t miss the mark. Do not withdraw!

Confession:

I refuse to withdraw. I stand as a worthy son of my Father. I study the Word and am guided by the Word of God alone, which reveals to me the mind of God and His plans for my life. I fulfill God’s plan in my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen!

Have you ever found yourself in a place and position when the situation, circumstances and people around you try to put you down and you tend to feel cast down; but suddenly you are empowered from within and you get supernatural power and speed such that the situation, circumstances turn around for your good; that’s the Holy Spirit at work in you. He is your strengthener.

The Holy Spirit inside you invigorates you. Holy Spirit gives you supernatural power, the ability to perform. Hallelujah! This is why you must never confess or accept that you’re weak. There’s no weakness in your life, for the Holy Spirit, the embodiment of all glory, dominion, and strength, lives in you in His fullness.

Paul prayed for the believers at Ephesus: “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 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 3:14-16). Had it not been possible to be strengthened, He wouldn’t have prayed that way. It is obvious therefore, that apostle himself was strengthened by the Holy Spirit.

You must also learn to take advantage of the ministry of Holy Spirit in your life. Refuse to be weak. Refuse to be cast down. The strengthener lives in you.

Praise:
Precious Holy Spirit you are my strengthener and my lifter. With you I know no defeat. I lift my hands and bow my knees to glorify you, I yield myself to you because you are worthy!! Hallelujah
