RENEW YOUR STRENGTH.

Is.40:31
“But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] Will gain new strength
and renew their power; They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising
toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary, They will walk and not grow tired.
To renew is to recharge, reenergise or repowered. The word presuppose that the one being
renewed was once new or full, however due to usage or drain, the capacity has gone or is going
down, and if renewal is not ensured, failure is inevitable. Take a laptop computer for example, it
may be fully charged at the start of a day, with 4 hours straight usage, it will start flashing that
the battery is running out, failure to plug it into a source of power, it will switch off and any
unsaved work will most likely be lost. In the same vein, as believers, it is important that we
constantly wait of God in prayer, fasting and study of the Word of God so that we may continue
to be renewed and recharged, so many things drain each one of us every day. For example,
people offend us, we hear things not convenient for our Spirit, the distraction and exposure on
social media, family and personal pressure, all these sap us of our faith and right standing
before the Lord.
1Cor.15:33
“So stop fooling yourselves! Evil companions will corrupt good morals and character.”
It is quite possible to plug the laptop in electricity supply source, if we however fail to turn the
power on, the laptop will still run out of power and go off. As children of God, attending church
services and being a worker or even a major financier or Pastor is not the same as waiting on
the Lord, waiting on God is never passive: it is binding our hearts to who God is as we wait
earnestly for God’s plan to unfold in every area of our lives without fainting. Our hearts must be
entwined with the Lord, being fully plugged into Him and switched on to His Word in faith.
Rom.1:17
“For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to
faith [disclosed in a way that awakens more faith]. As it is written and forever remains written,
“The just and upright shall live by faith.”
We get to renew our faith also by constantly hearing the Word of God, it has the capacity to help
our faith in God grow exponentially.
Rom.10:17
“So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.”
As long as the laptop is plugged to a switched on source of power, it will continue to function
optimally without a drain of its power, neither will it switch off. As long as a Christian is fully
connected to the Word of God in faith and in prayers plus fasting, such will remain a terror to the
kingdom of Satan and a major arrow in the hand of God to be used for great purposes.
Renew your strength in Christ.
