TOPIC : RE-IGNITE YOUR PASSION
TEXT: "I have this against you that you have left your first love"(Revelation 2:4)
Why does spiritual passion fade so easily? when we first experience God's love we spent hours thinking about Him, studying His word, and telling others about how much He means to us. Then it happens, our busy schedules, and other things we care about slowly dampens our passion and our longing for Jesus and our study of His word now becomes an occasional glance. Surely the object of our affection has changed.
The Church of Ephesus wrestled with maintaining its spiritual passion. Jesus through John wanted to help them re-ignite and restore there love for Him. Though He commended this Church for their works, Jesus saw that they have left their first love--Him.(Revelation 2:4).
The Ephesians had lost their first love and their spiritual passion for Jesus. It had become a cold and mechanical religious practice. I wonder if they had allowed the stealthy culprit of religion and busyness of religion to enter into their hearts. Whatever it was something has stolen the affection they once had for the Lord.
Have you allowed something to steal your passion ? if so it can be re-ignited, restored, and maintained when you consistently do the following: a) Remember His amazing love demonstrated at calvary. b) Repent of your sinful, unloving attitudes c) And out of love for Jesus repeat your "first works". like: spending time to study His word, spending time with Him prayer, spending time for Him in evangelising. simply put--caring about what He cares about. Devotion to Jesus is the key that re-ignites our spiritual passion.
