Spirit Champions

Wednesday, July 28, 2021

Ever ponder all the things that athletes go through to become physically fit? Athletes train for hours with weights, and watch every calorie they eat so they can be champions. Even for the few who win, the victory is short-lived, and then it fades. We have something so much greater than that. We have a prize that is everlasting, and are called to be more than conquerors. You're called to be a true champion. How much discipline do you put into your championship? How many of you are just barely reading the Bible, applying the Word, or praying at all? You wonder why you're not winning, living victoriously or not doing great and mighty things. Want to be a champion? Train daily in the Word, applying it, communing with God and living it. Don't train just to stay in shape, train to be a champion. If these people, through regular training become strong in the flesh, how much more will you, by training regularly with God, become strong in the Spirit. Champions in the flesh are for but a moment - but Champions of the Spirit are forever.
