Text: Mark 1:1-38
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Some years ago I was driving on the expressway and suddenly my vehicle’s engine switched off. I was seriously disturbed thinking it had developed a serious mechanical fault. I sought for assistance and managed to push the car into a nearby petrol (gas) filling station.
Something in me said I should buy some fuel into the car; I did and when I tried to turn on the ignition, the vehicle came alive again! Then I realized I had not been monitoring the fuel gauge on the dashboard of the car.
Today, a lot of believers are very busy with the work of the Master but are not monitoring their spiritual fuel gauge; many of them are losing touch with the Owner of the work, and thus find themselves struggling. Experiencing no more fresh grace; they are spiritually dry and burnt out.
According to today’s text, Jesus healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him. And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed- Mark 1:34-35
After a very busy day of preaching and miracle performance, the Lord needed to re-fill. Though he is the Anointed One, our Lord Jesus Christ, still had to refill his spiritual tank of anointing and grace before another round of ministration.
Are you feeling spiritually dry, burnt out and empty? Stop all activities and go back to your source today, spending quality time in fellowship with the Holy Spirit to refill your tank. You will experience fresh grace in Jesus name.
Prayer Nugget: Holy Spirit of God, I open up myself to you, please fill me afresh today in Jesus name.
