What has happened...?

Galatians 3:2-5 NKJV

This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed it  was in vain? Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does  He  do  it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?—

† Shalom †......! Day #139. Do you know that God has given us the opportunity to begun our lives with the Holy Spirit and do you want to end it with the flesh? Let us pray. Father, help to walk with You and let us not be diverted to other ways. Let us not give in to our worldly desires but yield to Your Spirit. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, today's verse clearly says what we as a spirit filled believers must do. God begun a good work in us through His Holy Spirit and we have begun our journey with Him, as we are walking with Him and the journey is getting more interesting and challenging filled with adventure and excitement, a journey of God transforming you from inside out. A journey of God refining you to yhe purest of all gold. A journey of cleansing, deliverance, uprooting. A journey of re-laying of the foundation and rebuilding you once again. When you have begun with the Holy Spirit and enjoying everything that the Holy Spirit is doing in you, why now you want to give up and follow the ways of waywardness, destruction and disobedience? Why? What has gone wrong? What has gone missing? Where is the joy of the salvation? Where is the passion? What has happened to the burning desires to serve God? Friends,  it is no longer there because we have lost the first love.

Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed it  was in vain? Many of us begin with a humble beginning and we desire to do greater things for God, but somewhere along the journey we lost our focus and begin to divert. All this years of training, pruning, rebuilding, discipling, the hardships you went through, and everything transformation that's happened in your life - is it for in vain? What has happened? All wasted? Where is your first love today? Friends, I beseech you to return to your first love today.

Revelation 2:4-5 NKJV

Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.  Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.

God bless you.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
