SCRIPTURE READING: LUKE 8: 41-56
FOCUS: “And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.” (Luke 8: 55)
MEMORY VERSE: “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” (John 6: 63)
When Jesus called out to Jairus’ dead daughter, scriptures say that her spirit came again, and she arose. Her rising happened the moment her spirit came again. There was a return of her spirit, and immediately, she arose. Her rising was orchestrated by the return of her spirit. There was a rising when her spirit returned. The moment her spirit came back to her, she arose. The moment her spirit came again, rising was next.
Friend, if your spirit man does not ‘come again’, you may not be able to arise as Jesus has destined. If your spirit man is empty, you will not be able to rise. If your spirit man is not fed with continuous communion and fellowship with God, you won’t be able to rise. If your spirit man is not revived in the place of prayer and communion, you won’t be able to take on your destiny mandate. An empty spirit will not get you to rise.
The mistake of many, is to attempt to arise when the ‘spirit’ has not come again. The mistake of many, is to force a rising when there is no activity in the spirit man to fuel the rising. If the flow in your spirit man is hindered, you just might be unable to rise as you should. If you allow your spirit man to grow cold, you won’t be able to become all that God desires you to become. If your spirit man does not come alive, you may never arise fully.
Jesus did not redeem you so that you can lead an empty life spiritually. Jesus redeemed you so that you can walk by the spirit. It is the spirit that quickens you; your flesh cannot drive you. It is the well of your spirit which flows from within, that will guarantee the rising that God Himself already destined for you. It is the life that flows from your spirit that will empower your flesh to ascend to heights. Your heights will flow from your spirit.
Don’t make the mistake of allowing coldness in your spirit man. Let the fire of God burn in you. Let the life of the Spirit of God find expression in you. Let the fulness of the Spirit of God dwell in you.
