PASSION, POWER AND PURPOSE

Romans 12:11 (TPT) Be enthusiastic to serve the Lord, keeping your passion toward him boiling hot! Radiate with the glow of the Holy Spirit and let him fill you with excitement as you serve him.

I wonder if you are passionate about anything? I don’t mean the passion we see depicted on the front of some romance novels!😊 But do you have a passion, a favourite thing you love to talk about with everyone, wherever you go? I used to have an acquaintance like that who worked for a company that sold cleaning products and she wanted me to be an agent as well. She was totally committed to it and would bend my ear every time we met! Or some might feel strongly about cruelty to animals or about saving the planet. They too have a passion.

As Christians, God wants us all to have a passion for Him and the things of His kingdom, to be passionate about our relationship with Him. When we realise all that Jesus has done for us at the Cross, it will not only set us free in our own lives but it will give us a passion to see others set free as well.😊

The passion we have from God is backed by His power, and it has a purpose. That purpose is to produce something and God tells us it is to do His mighty works. Jesus said we will do the works that He did and greater ones but we won’t be able to do them unless we have a passion for what God wants. We can sometimes slip into apathy about the things of God and lose our enthusiasm because we may forget God’s passionate heart of love for us.😊

So this is a little nudge today to ask ourselves what are we passionate about?  Family? Hobbies? Making money? Sport? Computer games? Work? Is it time to ask God to relight our fire, to give us a fresh passion for Him and what He is wanting us to do? 

If we do, I know He will give us His power, show us His purpose and enable us to produce whatever He wants us to produce. In Jesus name. Amen.

Have a blessed weekend.x
