Just as physical growth demands physical
exercise, spiritual growth as a Christian demands spiritual
exercise. To build spiritual muscle here are four daily
exercises.
|
1. Daily Seek
Christ. |
|
|
Spend time every
day reading God's Word and devoting time in prayer. |
| |
|
|
“…they
welcomed the message with eagerness and examined
the Scriptures daily to see if these things were
so.”
Acts 17:11 |
|
|
|
“I praise You
seven times a day…”
Psalms 119:164
|
|
2. Daily Share
Christ. |
| |
|
Share Jesus
every day through your words and actions. |
|
|
|
“Every day in
the temple complex, and in various homes, they
continued teaching and proclaiming the good news
that the Messiah is Jesus.”
Acts 5:42 |
| |
|
|
“Therefore, we
are ambassadors for Christ; certain that God is
appealing through us.”
2 Corinthians 5:20
|
|
3. Daily Lead
Others. |
| |
|
Lead others
by serving as Christ did. Every day die to self and
yield complete control of your life to Jesus Christ. |
|
|
|
“The greatest
among you will be your servant.”
Matt 23:11 |
| |
|
|
“If anyone wants
to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up
his cross daily, and follow Me.”
Luke 9:23
|
|
4. Daily Love
Others. |
| |
|
Take every opportunity
to show others around you that you love them. |
| |
|
|
“…love
your neighbor as yourself…”
Mark 12:33 |
| |
|
|
“But encourage
each other daily, while it is still called today…”
Hebrews 3:13 |
Do these exercises and you will grow
strong in your Christian life and be an effective member
of God's team.
