Today's Devotional
"Keys To Spiritual Success"

Who is there among you that fears and reveres Jehovah God? Are there those that honor the Lord, listening and obeying the words of His servant? Yet, that one may walk in darkness or have walked through places where there is not even a ray of light. He may be groping in the dark or not know where he’s going.

Let him trust in the Lord. Let him be confident in the name of the Lord.  Let him lean upon, and rely on, his God.

Jeremiah 32.27

There are keys to having influence that endures beyond our actions and continues to have spiritual impact on those who our lives touch.

1.      1. The Fear of God.

     Having divine reverence for who He is, the fear of God is the                doorway to entering the realm of spiritual usefulness. It holds the      key to enjoying divine unction, the oil of holy fervor, in our lives          and ministry.            

            

         2. Obedience to God's voice.

Living in obedience to God's voice puts us on the platform of excellence. Obedience is the key to maintaining the foundation of grace through which God releases His anointing on our lives and work.

   3. Consistency.

Having a consistent spiritual walk with God creates testimonies that stand the test of time. It is a necessary ingredient to becoming a role model to follow. Since consistency is grown though days, weeks, and years of faithful service, it is the key to our influence and the affect we have on other’s lives.

   4. Cultivating Good Spiritual Values.

Values, principles and standards are the key to developing character and discipline. They ground us and anchor us. And we cannot have lasting influence and eternal impact without character & discipline.

Trust in the Lord. Lean on Him. Rely on Him. Continue to grow and develop the keys to lifelong spiritual success. His light will shine brightly on your efforts.
