RECHARGE YOUR SPIRITUALITY
David Abankwah
²⁰But you, beloved, BUILDING YOURSELVES UP in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, ²¹keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.
-Jude 1:20-21 | ESV
For you to understand spiritual things, you first have to take note of physical things first. Everything that is in the physical world, serves as a template and a feel of what happens in the spiritual realm. You don’t have to neglect the activities and turn of events that go on in life day in and day out. We normally pass through time without realising the importance of physical experiences. Since we wake up and the first thing is to brush our teeth, what can brush the spiritual teeth of our souls comes by speaking gracious words (Colossians 4:6). We empty our intestines of any excreta by visiting the lavatory.
We can do this in the spirit when we empty our souls from the lust of the eye, lust of the flesh and pride of life. After that, water and soap are the key elements we use in washing down, but in the spirit, if you want to bath the soul, there is no other element of cleansing or detergent more powerful that the blood of Jesus Christ! It is only the blood that can wash the dirt of sins, iniquities and transgressions that makes the soul stinky. No one wants to mingle with people with bad odour. That is the reason why God cannot flow with sinners. His eyes cannot even look at sinners (Habakkuk 1:13).
As we eat balanced diet in the physical world, there is also the balanced diet of protein, carbohydrate, minerals, vitamins, water, fats, and fibre for healthy growth and robust health of the Word of God for the soul. This balanced diet comes by the teachings of all the things Jesus Christ has commanded (Matthew 28:20). The moment the right amount and nutritious food of the Word of God is not taken in for some time, the cells of the soul does not function properly and this makes the tissues, organs and systems of the soul diseased. Like a battery, the spirituality of the soul needs to be recharged day in and day out.
We are much concerned when our cellular phone batteries run down and immediate response is needed to charge it immediately to serve as a means of communication. It will shock you that, the battery of someone’s spirituality has run down for hours, days, weeks, months or even years but this same person calls him or herself a Christian! You have to do the works of salvation everyday to keep your battery of spirituality full in order to communicate with God always. Someone is out of coverage area when God even calls. Jesus Christ the Son of God, had to recharge His spiritual battery by spending nights in prayer even though He had the fullness of the Spirit of God.
