STAY FERVENT IN THE SPIRIT

“Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;” Romans 12:11 (KJV)

If there was ever a time we needed to be fervent in our faith, it is now. The enemy is not pulling any punches; he has come out in full force. And so we must remain fervent to withstand his fiery darts. The scripture tells us to, “…Resist the devil, and he will flee…” James 4:7 (KJV). The word resist means to stand against and to oppose. It is not a soft or calm task. It requires force and vehemence. It is equally critical for us to be fervent in spirit so that we can hear divine instructions and directives.

These are not the days to just beat about the bush. If we are going to walk in victory and abundance, we must hear specific instructions from the mouth of Jehovah. This requires fervency!

Stay fervent in the spirit and serve the Lord with all your hearts. The word fervent here means to be passionate, intense, vehement, zealous, hardcore, committed, and devout. The only way to remain fervent is to stay in the Word and prayers. Outside of these two things, you cannot remain fervent.

The heat is on! Everything in our world today is pushing you in a different direction away from God’s Word, but you must refuse it. Make up your mind to stay fervent in spirit. This is why you need to keep the right company because the company you keep can either push you towards fervency or away from it. The scriptures tell us not to forsake the assembly of the believers. Hebrews 10:25. The Church is there to help you stay fervent.

These are not the days to stay away from services and programs. If there was ever a time when staying devout was easiest, it is today. The Word of God is right there on your device. You can just tap to read the Bible, tap to watch a sermon or listen to worship music. Technology is for the advancement of the kingdom. No one has an excuse today not to be fervent in the Spirit.
