RHAPSODY OF REALITIES FRIDAY 10TH SEPTEMBER.
IT BEGINS WITH YOU
Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend (Proverbs 27:17).
*TELEGRAM*...https://t.me/dailyaffirmations
The Message translation of the theme verse says, âYou use steel to sharpen steel, and one friend sharpens anotherâ (Proverbs 27:17). Perhaps youâre concerned that your close friends, or others in your church, fellowship, cell or care-group arenât as passionate about spiritual growth and Godâs Word as they should be. You could even be the leader of such a group. The first place to begin is to check yourself, because hunger begets hunger. As the leader of the group, how rapacious is your appetite for the Word? How passionate are you about spiritual things?
Passion is palpable and infectious. What youâre hungry or passionate about, soon enough, will rub off on those around you. Havenât you noticed that oftentimes, when people yawn, those around them may start yawning as well? Or once someone says, âIâm hungryâ; others who are present and may also not have eaten, immediately become conscious of hunger.

If you have a ravenous appetite for Godâs Word, those around you would cultivate the same hunger soon enough. Therefore, be the first to be on fire. Be the example of what you want to see in those you lead. Lead by example. For example, donât just encourage them to pray; be a praying person yourself.
But if a pastor isnât prayerful, and heâs calling for prayer meetings, he may be wasting his time, because those gatherings would be void of the Spirit. Copy Jesus, His devotion to the Scriptures, and to prayer. At a tender age, the Bible says He was in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening, and asking them questions. Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and His answers (Luke 2:41-47).
The Bible also tells us, âAnd in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayedâ (Mark 1:35). In another instance, ââŠhe went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to Godâ (Luke 6:12). So, itâs got to begin with you. Spiritual or numerical growth isnât a mystery, a miracle or an accident. Itâs the application of revealed principles and means.
