Speaking about not being passionate for God, it's been quite some time that I've been wondering why I ain't passionate for God as I used to be in my lower secondary years. People always say that we should be forward looking and not try to find that same passion I used to have for God again but instead I should long for a greater passion like never before! BUT the problem is, my passion for Him is not even close to how it used to be years ago! In fact it's deteriorating! BUT, I've got good news! I realised last week why I wasn't as passionate for God as I used to be. It was precisely because I began to forsake the two most essential things in Christian Living: Prayer and reading of God's word! When I was in my lower secondary years, I read the Bible often and even memorised Scripture Verses. BUT i've neglected these essentials for so long and this explains my lost passion for God.

This week I tried memorizing two Verses: 2Timothy 1:7 and Ephesians 4:29. These verses help me think about God through the day because it's His words! One more thing, God's word is Rhema. Meaning that we need to speak it out rather than just knowing them. BUT before we can do that, we need to first memorise Verses.

I've also tried praying more. Ephesians 6:18 says that we should pray on all occasions with all kinda of requests! Therefore, we should come to God with all types of prayers! This explains why we should place a strong emphasis on prayer! For reading the Bible, the supporting verse would be Matthew 4:4- Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God- Which is the Bible!

Ever since I started practising these two essential practices in Christian living, I discover a passion that burns deeper and more genuine longing for God. So I encourage everyone of you reading this, don't forsake Prayer and reading of The Word. These two must always be included in whatever pathway you take to God.

God bless =]
