There’s such a thing as a healthy spiritual life. Man is a ‘spirit being’ not a physical body. Your body is your house, where your spirit man resides. You may be healthy in your body but if you do not have a healthy spiritual life, your body will soon be affected. You really can’t serve God if you don’t have a healthy spiritual life
Colossians 1:9-12
For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light
1. BE FILLED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WILL (COLOSSIANS 1:9).
God wants you to be filled with the knowledge of his will. His desire is for you to know his will in all wisdom and understanding, not some but be filled with all. He expects you to meditate and study His word. Regular and heartfelt communication with God through prayer is vital. It deepens your relationship with Him and provides comfort too.
2. WALK WORTHY OF THE LORD (COLOSSIANS 1:10)
“So as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.” That means to live and conduct yourself in a manner worthy of the Lord. God doesn’t want you to do things anyhow.
3. BEAR FRUIT IN EVERY GOOD WORK (COLOSSIANS 1:10).
God’s expectation is for us to bear good fruits. In actively serving others, both within and outside the church, is a way to emulate Jesus’ selflessness and love for humanity.
4. INCREASE IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD (COLOSSIANS 1:10)
Reading and studying the Bible helps you understand God’s word and His will for your life. It provides wisdom for daily living. He doesn’t want your knowledge of Him to be stagnant.
5. BE STRENGTHENED WITH GOD’S POWER
Church and personal worship through songs and praise can foster a sense of awe and connection with God. Doing this will expose you to the awesome power of God through which your strength will be renewed daily
6. COMMUNITY;
Being part of a Christian community or a church provides support, encouragement, and accountability in your spiritual journey. You cannot do without them as their positive impact will help you achieve your goal of getting closer to God.
7. ALWAYS BE THANKFUL (COLOSSIAN 1:12]
Taking time to meditate and reflect on your faith journey can deepen your understanding of God’s presence in your life and encourage you to have an attitude of continuous personal thanksgiving.
If you practice these things, you will be amazed at the sudden change, how your life will just take a progressive change. Develop a real appetite for the word of God. What do you want to make? It is possible with the word. Through the word, you can make anything happen.
May his grace lead us through 🙏. Amen
