Deeper
God is calling us into the deeper through His Holy Spirit. It is not enough just to be known as godly, like Cornelius in Acts 10 : In Caesarea there lived a Roman army officer named Cornelius, who was a captain of the Italian Regiment. 2 He was a devout, God-fearing man, as was everyone in his household. He gave generously to the poor and prayed regularly to God.
We are being asked to step into a deeper experience with God via His Holy Spirit. God wants to pour in an amazing way His Spirit upon His Church - all those associated with His name!
There are many people who stall their Christian experience after being associated with Christ. They refuse to delve deeper and do not allow God to unwrap His delightful delights to them. They stop at having God's name put on them, with no matching power and demonstration as a child of God.
Others walk a little further with God and then cease to fan their fire with coals of the Word and prayer. God desires that we do not lose our first love. He cautions in Revelations 2:4-5 But I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place—unless you repent.
Our experience in the Lord must have a crescendo effect - growing from strength to strength. Each day adorned in fresh testimonies of a higher magnitude. Miracles must be our daily fare. We ought to walk closely with the Holy Spirit, and like the Ethiopian ministered to by Philip, we shall gain a deeper meaning and revelation of God's Word.
Are you ready to respond to the call of the Holy Spirit to step deeper? Would you light your fire once more? Just call on God and just like Cornelius, if you answer God's invitation, you will walk into a revival, a supernatural outpouring of His Spirit! Worship a bit more, spend more time with God in prayer, delve deeper into His Word, and very soon, you'll explode in glorious encounters with God.
If your life is well lit by God, it will brighten where you are, and light up other lives. That is how revival breaks out!
