Strength for everything – Part 4

Strength for everything – Part 4

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

Paul had undergone lot of things in his life, yet to stand for his faith requires more than natural. He has mentioned his secret in the above word. The secret is that he is able to do all things only by the strength of Christ Jesus. Jesus who Himself took all the sufferings for His faith and for what He believed, was the strength of Paul. Jesus didn't break in all His persecutions and trials. He want to bring in this world something that is contrary to this world. We look at the natural strength and then make all the decisions and choices. But God wanted to show the strength in faith coming from the inner spirit. This is never based on the natural circumstances, but is always based on the strength of the inner spirit of a person. There is a way to increase the strength of the spirit in a person. If you don't eat for a couple of days, you become weak and are without natural strength. That same way, if you don't feed your spirit man, your spirit man will become weak and you will be without strength.

Everytime you take out time to read God's word, hear God's word, meditate on God and His word, pray and sing praises to God, is actually feeding your spirit. The more you feed your spirit the more your spirit becomes strong. The more strength you have means, no problems and persecutions of this world can pull you down. Like Paul even you will be strong under all persecutions and trials. The death of this world will never steal your joy, because you will never have the fear of death. You will know the truth that losing your life for God means gaining your life. God will gift you this life, when you are putting it at stake for Him and your faith in Him. Like Paul don't look at the future and not your past. Like Paul fill your mind and your heart with God's word. Keep this as your prime focus of your life every day. Then like Paul even you will have a testimony that you are able to do all things by Christ's strength. God bless you.
