And
now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is
able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are
sanctified (Acts 20:32).
One
very important thing you must do consciously as a Christian is to develop your
spirit-nature and become more God-conscious in your daily walk. There’re
Christians who aren’t God-conscious, even though they’re born again; they
haven’t developed their spirits; they haven’t matured in their Christian walk.
When you develop your spirit, you’ll never be afraid of anything; you’ll always
be a victor. It makes no difference what happens with you or around you; you’ll
always be on top.
Have
you ever observed birds, and how they fly? Some can only fly at a certain
height. A duck may fly higher and longer than a chicken, but it can’t sustain
itself like a sparrow. And as fast and as wonderfully a sparrow may fly, it can
never fly as high as an eagle and sustain itself in the air. It’s like
airplanes too; some can only fly between thirty to thirty-eight thousand feet
above sea level. Some can fly at forty thousand feet, and can’t go higher, no
matter how they try. But some can fly at sixty thousand feet.
Spiritually,
it’s the same. Some Christians are “flying” very high. Some want to fly high
but they can’t, because they haven’t developed their spirit-life for that
level; so, when trouble strikes, they’re overwhelmed and rattled by the
turbulence. But the one who has developed his spirit, soars like an eagle; he
has the “speed” and “lift” to go above turbulence. It makes no difference what
your present situation is; if you’d develop your spirit, you’ll always rise
above the turbulence. How do you develop your spirit?
God
tells us in Joshua 1:8 to meditate on His Word. That’s the secret for training
and developing your spirit for success. That’s how you programme your spirit
for the triumphant life of ever-increasing glory. Practise meditating on the
Word of God. When you study the Word, don’t just read through; capture it into
your heart, and learn to give the Word first place in your life.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for the glorious life I’ve received in Christ Jesus. I
keep my gaze on your Word, walking in the consciousness of my divine origin and
heritage! Thank you for making me triumphant always, and in every place, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Study: 1 Timothy 4:15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to
them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
Isaiah
40:30-31 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall
utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and
they shall walk, and not faint.
