QUENCH NOT THE SPIRIT

QUENCH NOT THE SPIRIT


MEMORY VERSE: - 1 Thessalonians 5:19 - “Do not quench the Spirit"

The Greek word for “Quench” is "SBENNUMI" which means “to extinguish” or “to put out.” The word was used to refer to putting out fires, sparks, or the putting out of a lamp.

Now, Paul in the text above is advising us not to put out the sparks of the Holy Spirit in us. There are several ways through which the believer can quench the Spirit and one of those is prayerlessness. Many are too weak in prayer, they prefer others to pray for them rather than doing it themselves.

Prayer is fellowship, it is communion, it is that special moment we discuss with God. Moreover, prayer is the weapon of our warfare through which we deal with things that come to trouble us. We are to pray at all times, whether we feel like it or not. Even as Paul told us, "Pray without ceasing" 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Child of God, we must keep the Flem of the fellowship of the Holy Spirit burning, we must not allow the world's pressure to Silent us. We must not allow the fire of our prayers to go down, we should never give the challenges of life the opportunity to weaken us rather we are to change things through prayer.

Just like Jesus admonished us in Luke 18 :1 "That men ought always to pray, and not to faint" Yes! We must not lose heart, we must not get tired or weary, but must keep the Flem of our prayer burning continuously.


PRAYER

I want to thank you Lord for loving me, thank you for the wonderful things you're doing in my life. And now oh Lord, I pray for my prayer life to be quickened, in Jesus name, Amen

Now, Somebody may say, I don't have any physical image of anything carved as a god so, I have no idol..... Listen, there are many things that constitute an idol in one's lives. E.g: when you make the things you possess more important than God, it is an idol.  When you value money more than God, it is an idol. When you trust man or believe in man more than your trust in God, it is an idol. it is an idol. It is known as the idol of the heart in God's sight.

Paul in Colossians 3:5, admonished us to put out of our lives things that can be idols to us, "Put to death therefore what...

  AbayeLiz Daily Inspirational GO BEYOND BOUNDARY MEMORY VERSE: - Micah 2:13 - “He who opens the breach goes up before them; they break through and pass the gate, going out by it. Their king passes on before them, the Lord at their head"   To 'Go' is to make a movement, while 'beyond' is to stretch more than usual, it's to go further, to go farther than normal, to go over the above limits. Boundaries are limitations, or confines. It is something that indicates or fixes a limit to one's life. Furthermore, Boundaries are restrictions, it keeps people from moving forward in life and destiny. It holds people back from going over to the next level and from crossing over to the other side of life as ordained by God for them. It is a dividing line which marks the limits of an area.  So to go beyond boundary is to make extra effort, to go above a way that exceeds humans expectations or any force expectations.  There are various kind of Boundaries, we have Personal...

Truly, it is Christ that makes the difference in their lives.Their strength is Christ, all that they are and all that they would be is Christ. Through the new birth experience in Christ Jesus, we are imparted with the indwelling glory of God, thereby making us His tabernacle of glory. Once you receive Christ into your life, you become a carrier, vessel and channel of God’s glory. Hence, we have been made the glory of a glorious God; proves of His glory on earth. Who also are to manifest, reflect, reveal and make known His glory in the world.  We have been foreordained and predestined before the foundation of the world to be revealers of His glory which becomes a reality with the ...
