Isaiah 40:31- “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint”.
Spiritual strength is the capacity or power that you need to carry out spiritual assignments, just as physical strength is needed to undertake physical exercises or tasks, spiritual strength is needed to carry out important tasks as regards your God given assignment
Your level of spiritual stamina will determine the success of your assignment. Every believer needs spiritual strength so as to be able to successfully undertake certain assignments in the spirit realm
So how do you build your spiritual stamina?
1. Fervent Prayers (1 Thessalonians 5:17, James 5:17):
First you must be given to prayers, fervent prayers helps to build your spiritual strength as well as sharpen your spiritual antenna (connection) to receive instructions, direction and insight from God.
2. Fasting (Galatians 5:17):
While prayer helps you build capacity, fasting helps you to keep your flesh under check, fasting helps to subdue your ungodly feelings, fleshy desires and to enhance your spirit mind towards spiritual growth.
3. Study Of God’s Word ( 2 Timothy 2:15, Romans 12:2): Regular study of God’s Word is a sure way to build spiritual strength, when you study the bible, your knowledge will increase, your faith will be reignited and then your spirit will be nourished
4. Living A Holy Life (1 Peter 1:15-17):
To attain a certain level of spiritual capacity, you need to live a holy life, the bible tells us clearly that our God is holy and we must be holy too. To be able to receive higher spiritual capacity to take on spiritual assignments, you need to live a life that is worthy of your divine calling; a holy life. You must daily decide to walk in the law of God, following His commands daily and ensuring that your life aligns with the scripture, this way you will grow spiritually.
5. Abide in Love: (Galatians 5:22-23)
This is a very important factor if you want increase in spiritual strength. Everything outside love; hate, bitterness, anger, wrath, covetousness, etc are drainers of spiritual strength, they cause the believer to be stripped of divine strength as they are clearly working against the spirit of God, so do you want to increase spiritual strength this season? You must consciously abide in Love, make up your mind to be considerate, selfless, kind, forgiving, and godly, then your spiritual strength will increase.
