Developing Your Spirit · Monday, January
27th ·
Pastor Anita
For bodily exercise profiteth little: but
godliness is profitable unto all things,
having promise of the life, that now is,
and of that which is to come (1 Timothy
4:8).
All the schools and colleges of the world
merely provide knowledge and
information relevant to the development
of the mind and the senses, which, at
best, will only make you a mental giant.
Many, through some form of physical
training have also been able to develop
their physical body to keep fit and raise
their overall fitness levels. However,
there’re not many schools that teach on
the development of the human spirit.
Incidentally, that’s the most important;
you ought to give primacy to the
development of your spirit, for that’s the
real you.
In 1 Thessalonians 5:23, the Apostle Paul,
by the Spirit, penned a beautiful prayer
for the saints, saying, "…and I pray God
your whole spirit and soul and body be
preserved blameless unto the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ." Notice the order:
The spirit first, then the soul, before the
body. Unfortunately, many are only
concerned about what takes place in their
physical bodies, or how their minds
function, losing sight of the most
important—the spirit.
Your spirit is where the "issues of life"—
prosperity, health, blessings, victory and
joy—emanate from. Training to be an
intellectual giant is okay; likewise, the
training of your physical body to gain
physical strength, agility and stamina is
commendable. However, all the physical
and mental training you could ever get
will only profit your body and the senses.
Training your spirit, on the other hand, is
useful and of value in everything and in
every way—for it holds promise for the
present life and for the life that is to
come.
Keep training your spirit through the
study and meditation on the Word, fasting
and prayer—especially praying in other
tongues. Other spiritual exercises that
energize your spirit include fellowshipping
with other believers, soul winning, and
acting swiftly on spiritual instructions;
being quick to act on the Word.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for your Word
that I receive every day, which builds my
spirit and transforms me from glory to
glory. I live in health, peace and
prosperity, and I deal wisely in all my
affairs because I’ve made your Word my
constant meditation. Therefore, I’m
programmed for the extraordinary life of
dominion, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
f u r t h e r s t u d y: 1 Timothy 4:8
(AMP); Joshua 1:8; John 7:38

My dear friend, the good lord's devine healing balm has not and will never loose it's power. Even if there had never been found, a cure/solution for sicknesses/worries/diseases such as you are now goong thru, the good lord still remain your only cure and hope if you'll seek Him right.
BELIEVE, CONFESS & ACT! God bless you child.

Thank you my dear Sis C-Rose, "the battle is mine, saith the lord of host"
There isn't any point fighting a man who's already down...let's pray some more...
I'm not sure I quite understand what you mean by "trolling" and I do hope such an action is not gonna make things even worse, considering, we are not here to complicate issues..."?

Trolling is...
when a person enters someones thread specifically for the purpose of harassing them and others.
They might say anything shocking and off topic.

As I mentioned, you may click on "report post"
afterwards the adminstrators will usually erase their post and/or reprimand them.

People often claim to hunger for truth, but
seldom like the taste when it's served.
