Feeding
your Spirit and the Transformation of your Soul
Remember to feed yourself and to grow in your personal study and
devotions in the Scriptures. If you stop maintaining this discipline your life
will become a series of spiritual duties: preparing sermons and fulfilling your
responsibilities in your own strength and you are likely to miss the Lord’s
heart—trust me, too many ministers have lost the flame of God in their hearts
because they have not maintained their spiritual, devotional lives with the
Lord (Rom 12:11). Stir up the gift that is within thee, never be lacking in
zeal, and be fervent in spirit!
