The reason most believers don’t finish well is because they don’t pay attention to the faith for spiritual sustainability. The Holy Spirit wants to birth this faith in our hearts because our spirituality is the base of our Christianity. God pays attention to our spiritual sustainability, and that is why church service is not to receive material blessings alone, though they are good but to stir up the faith that will sustain us till eternity. This is the faith that keeps us going in the midst of hot tribulation (Revelation 12:12, Matthew 24:12). This faith unlike the faith for exploit and faith for subduing kingdom is the faith that determines our eternal destination. God want us to be like Jesus; this is the essence of Christianity. It is God’s major dream for your life, if you backslide then you have lost touch of this goal (Romans 8:20). It is this faith that helps you remain conformed to Jesus. It is this same faith that gave the heroes of faith a hope for a better resurrection (Hebrew 12:12, Romans 8:16, Daniel 11:32, Hebrew 11:35-37).
HOW DO YOU ACCESS THE FAITH FOR SPIRITUAL SUSTAINABILITY?
Strong and consistent intimacy with the person of the Holy Spirit. It is this relationship that helped Jesus in his work on earth. Intimacy simply means into-me-see. It means seeking God to understand what He wants you to do. It is the most important relationship in your Christian faith. The right attitude is not to visit God’s presence but to tabernacle there. You cannot succeed in your Christian without the help of the Holy Spirit (Zechariah 4:6)
Prayer line: O lord, I desire to be in an intimate relationship with you, give me the grace to continue to tabernacle in your presence in Jesus name. Amen!
Spiritual Song:
OPEN MY EYES TO SEE YOUR FACE
OPEN MY HEART TO KNOW YOU MORE
I WON’T RELENT OH GOD
UNTIL I SEE YOUR FACE
I WANT TO KNOW YOU MORE
UNTIL I AM LIKE YOU
