Fire of your faith
“For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith” (Hebrews 4:2-3).
There are anemic Christians in every church.
They have a form of religion but fail to mix their belief with faith and obedience.
The apostle Paul described them when he said-
– “these people have a form of godliness but deny its power” (2 Timothy 3:5).
What are the telltale signs of anemic faith?
When you no longer pray about decisions-
– you have anemic faith.
When you fail to speak to others about their relationship with God-
– you have anemic faith.
When you’re unwilling to spend time with God everyday-
– your faith has become anemic.
You no longer have a living faith!
God spoke to John, the apostle, through a vision and told him about some Christians who were part of the church in Laodicea:
“I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot.
I wish you were either one or the other!
So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth” (Revelation 3:14-18).
These are strong words from our Lord!
We are all susceptible to growing cold and anemic in our faith.
Ask God to revive your heart and to restore the fire of your faith-
-so that you will experience a vibrant and active faith that impacts the kingdom of darkness.
