The Believer’s Passion
READ | 2 Timothy 1:1-11
A fire won’t continue to burn strongly unless it’s worked
on. Similarly, a believer’s passion , if left untended, can
diminish. Some new Christians often share their faith passionately.
They sense God’s joy and peace. Yet, this zeal can fade
unintentionally. From today’s passage, we gather that Timothy had
let his flame of faith cool slightly in verses six and seven.
Some believers can experience “cooling” for several
reasons. When tragedy strikes, a person may feel his prayers went
unanswered. This person may think God doesn’t care. If he then
prays less, it’s easy to drift away from the Lord.
At other times, some Christians can be sidetracked by the world’s
priorities. Timothy’s enthusiasm wavered because of false
teaching and fear. Whatever the apparent trigger may be, Satan is the
underlying cause. He lures believers away from single-minded devotion
to Jesus.
Drifting can be subtle and hard to detect. Six questions can help you
assess whether your enthusiasm for God remains strong. First, you
should ask yourself if you have joy in the Lord. Do you desire to serve
Him and help others in need?
The second question to determine your passion for God is ‘Do you spend time in the Word daily?
Next, do you pray knowing that God is listening and working in your life?
The fourth question to help you determine your enthusiasm for God is ‘Do you faithfully attend church and tithe?
The fifth question is ‘Do you experience joy, peace, contentment, and hope in Jesus?
And finally, ‘Do you stand firm in your godly convictions?
If some of your answers recently changed from “yes” to
“no”, your fire may be diminishing. Acknowledge this to the
Lord. Ask for His help to fuel your passion.
