“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.” Genesis 2:7

 When God moulded man in the beginning, man did not become a man until he was filled. In the same way, when you were formed, you did not become alive ‘til the breath of God breathed life into your spirit being.

Your spirit being is the engine that carries your life. As you are alive mentally, physically, and emotionally, don’t neglect the life of your spirit.

David, a man after God’s own heart knew the importance of his spirit being, when He prayed in Psalm 119:40 “Behold, I long for Your precepts; Revive me in Your righteousness.”

He knew that it is only the righteousness of God that can revive us spiritually and that when his spirit was revived and strengthened, He was ready for anything that life threw at him.

As long as you have the gift of life, make sure your spirit is revived and this is something only the Spirit of God can do through His Word, which is spirit and life (John 6:63).

  • Oh Holy Spirit, breath of God, breathe in me the breath of God!
  • Oh Holy Spirit, through whom all things were created, create in me a new life, a new beginning!

HE WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU HAVE NOT ASKED

“So God said to him, “Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, I will do what you have asked.” 1 Kings 3:11-12
God was pleased that Solomon requested divine wisdom to carry out his God-given assignment instead of earthly riches or fame, and blessed him more than he could imagine.
In the same way, God tests our hearts to reward us, to see what we truly seek.”

WRITTEN IN HEAVEN

“However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” Luke 10:20
When the seventy-two disciples returned with joy from their mission, Jesus warned them that the source of their joy should come not from the visible results of the Spirit’s power, but the Holy Spirit Himself, who has sealed for Christ, and written our name in Heaven.”

GOD FIRST

“Let’s take a lesson from David who was ready to be humiliated in his own eyes, so that God could be honoured. Ask yourself: Where does honouring God appear in your list of priorities? Do you thank Him for all that He has done in your life, all the way long? While men look at the outside, God looks at the motives of the heart. Instead of worrying about the opinion of others concerning you, let the motive of your heart each day be to honour God before yourself.”
