Pastor Faith Oyedepo: Friday December 18, 2015 Daily Devotional - Keep charged

Topic: Keep charged [Friday 18 December, 2015]

“For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.”-Romans 8:13

Often, when you pass by a high-tensioned electricity pole, a military zone or wherever dangerous equipments are kept, you usually see the warning “Danger: keep off.” It’s usually to alert anyone loitering around that premise that it is highly dangerous to be found there and failure to relocate poses a risk to such an individual. However, do you know that amazingly, the life of a Christian can be built, just like this?

Our spiritual life can be so empowered that even the devil recognises the “keep off” sign without being told. Our spiritual strength against every opposition and temptation can be so built up with energy if we consciously partner daily with the Holy Spirit. Understand that every Christian has some level of power, but we need to keep charging it to grow and remain effective. When your energy level is low, it means your connectivity to the source of power is faulty and this can be very dangerous to you.

What you need to do is to charge yourself up in the Spirit and remain charged to maintain the supply of spiritual strength you need daily. One way you can do this is by praying from the depth of your heart for an infilling of the Holy Spirit each day. When you are filled daily with strength, you give no chance for the devil to operate. Yes, he may wander around your territory, but there is no opening for him because he sees you spiritually secured with “electricity” that will shock him at any wrong attempt.

You must realise that one of the greatest gifts you have and must desire is the ability to pray in the Holy Ghost. Whenever you pray in tongues, you build your faith in holiness, thereby maintaining signals with the Holy Ghost. Also, exploding in tongues, especially when used to charge up your day helps to secure you and your day. Therefore, I encourage you to keep charged daily and remain charged in the Spirit. You can do this with a minimum of 15 minutes prayers in tongues. Let the devil recognise the Spiritual energy supply you have, thereby terming your zone “Danger: keep off!”

Remain Blessed!
