THE JOURNEY TO SPIRITUAL EMPOWERMENT.

THE JOURNEY TO SPIRITUAL EMPOWERMENT.

SSI

Meditation: Luke 4:1-4

Happy Saint Valentine's Day, this is a man who shows Christ Healing and Love. Let me discuss a short story you need to know about the person celebrated today, so you will not misuse the day. He's a lover of the soul, He's a healer, He's an evangelist, He's a lover. When he was imprisoned he healed the noble Daughter that had her captor blind, and the whole household converted to Christianity and when he was to be executed on February 14, 270. He wrote a letter to his lover. With the singing from your Valentine. It's the last part we take and forget his Evangelizer graces and his passion for soul. Nor desire he's healing Gift's. But all want to love like him, anyway Love is in line with God's purpose. I love you all. St. Valentine's pray for us. Amen

Am focusing on our today article on what can make you access his healing Gifts, 40 days of spiritual empowerment.

Like I always say and teach, Everything about God is orderly and we're imitators of God, that's why we've been created in his image and likeness, and he wants us to also have his mind, but the mind of man become Corrupted when a man has the Knowledge of good and evil by eating the Fruit offer to them by Snake. Let me say the fruit makes man's life disorders and not arranged.

 In the Christian faith are different seasons, called liturgical seasons and they are Ordinary time (Common lifestyle In the Scripture) Advent (time of waiting and preparing for the coming of Jesus) Christmas(time of rejoicing in the Incarnation.) Lent ( is a penitential season. It recalls the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert.) Easter( celebrating Christ's resurrection and ends by celebrating the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus.) When you check those seasons you will discover all are biblical to make our Christian Journey ordered and arranged. The season we're in now it's called Lent. 

What is Lenten Season, this season is about the 40 days of fasting and prayer of Jesus. In Matthew 4:1-11, it's a season not to live by bread alone but it's the season to live by the word that God speaks that's why this season is focused on 3 things which are prayer, fasting (abstaining from something to reduce distractions and focus more on God) and giving, or charity. The Speciality of this Journey is that it's a spirit-filled season. 

The season is also a time to turn back to God for mercy. The prayer of this season focuses our minds more on repentance. It's also about repenting (turning away from our sins) and receiving God’s mercy and love. 

This journey starts today, and it's the season you need to spend time in prayer, fasting, and giving. Those 3 things are what make this Season special. So get yourself Engaged. And His grace will surely be sufficient for you. 

Let me discuss What will make this Season productive, Productive is about you being able to provide results from what you do. 

Daniel 6:10

[10]Now when Daniel learned of this, namely, that the law had been established, he entered his house, and, opening the windows in his upper room towards Jerusalem, he knelt down three times a day, and he adored and gave thanks before his God, as he had been accustomed to do previously.

The above Scripture explains the Spiritual journey of Daniel he prayed 3 times a day, this is a habit that Makes us access the Heart of God and understand his word and the God that Daniel served, save him of his challenge, schedule your time to at lease of 3 times of Praying daily this is a time to be intentional about your Spiritual life. 

So without Praying this season, it can't be productive. Prayer makes this lenten season more productive. If Daniel can pray three times a day, no wonder that lion can't do anything for him. When you pray, you will surely be productive and what is supposed to challenge you, fear you.

 Let me show you the secret that makes Jesus also more productive.

 Luke 3:21

[21]Now it happened that, when all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized; and as he was praying, heaven was opened.

As he was praying, It was when he engaged in prayer, that he experienced Open heaven.  More than You prayed before, Pray more this season of Lent, Prayer makes you experience open heaven this season, No prayer No open heaven. 

Schedule your Prayer life into 3 this season, Morning session, Afternoon session, and Evening Session or midnight prayer. If you're Catholic I will advise you to add Holy Mass to part of your Prayer session. And apart from separating yourself to pray, in your daily activities keep praying within you, pray in the Spirit. Be conscious in yourself that this season is to pray. 

The season of Lent is a spiritual journey that when observed ends with Spiritual Empowerment. To be Productive Pray more this time.

Finally, Prayer is one of the weapons to make this season count. I will be sharing more on how to make this fasting period more Productive. I welcome you to the Journey of 40 days for Spiritual Empowerment. 

May we all encounter God in this season in Jesus' name. Amen.

St Valentine's pray for us.
