HOW HIGH IS YOUR VOLTAGE?
Memorise: Now thanks be unto
God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the
savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 2nd Corinthians 2:14
Read: 2nd
Corinthians 2:14-17, Bible in one year: 1 Kings 21:17-22:53, Proverbs 20:4-17
The level of decadence in the
world in these last days is on the increase, just as predicted in the Bible
(Matthew 24:12). There is widespread acceptance of degenerate behaviours just
like the Bible said it would be (2nd Timothy 3:1-8). Believers that
are still here on earth, seeing and hearing all these evil on a daily basis, no
doubt have a responsibility of ensuring that they operate at a very high
spiritual voltage level. A believer at a low spiritual voltage level, risks
being overwhelmed by the moral and spiritual current of the world, with the
potential of being swallowed up by same. Whereas, the expectation of the Lord
is that our high voltage of righteousness would flow and overwhelm the
decadence of obscene acts, requires that a child of God be spiritually hot at
all times. Note that continuous exposure of the same stimulus tends to
gradually be steadily gain strength in eliciting a response, which eventually might
lead to participation. There is therefore the need for a child of God to always
put precautionary measure in place.
The current situation demands
that you as a child of God must be strong in the Lord and in the power of His
might (Ephesians 6:10-13). You must therefore ensure that you wholly apply
yourself to the necessary spiritual discipline of prayers (Romans 12:12) and
study of the word (James 1:21). You will also have to apply self-discipline in
what you look at – you will do yourself a lot of good if you don’t fix your
eyes on those seductively dressed daughters of Jezebel (Job 31:1).
Self-discipline also has to be applied in the area of what you watch – what
kind of programmes you watch on TV, how long you sit down watching the TV, what
kind of places you go to when resorting/holidaying and what kind of friendship
you keep (1st Corinthians 15:33).
Besides these, you should
fellowship regularly with fellow believers. Do not keep away form this for too
long. Be involved in your local church assembly. Remember the popular saying
that says: it is the idle hands Satan engages? Make sure you particularly
engage in soul winning. It will also serve you well to boldly and readily
express your identity as a child of God in any new environment you find yourself.
Key Point
How high is your spiritual
voltage? Let your speech and lifestyle always reflect your identity.
