Hey Siss hey!!
I love challenges!
And if you have been a QW insider for a while now, you might have noticed it, hahaha.
Challenges push you to stretch yourself beyond your known capacity.
I say 'known' because sometimes you have more capacity on your inside than you think, but you just don't know it yet because you have not committed to pushing yourself beyond that set limit.
Personally speaking, it is always a joy for me to push God's leading ladies to their maximum potential in him, because it is such an amazing way for us to grow and be built up in God.
Soo, without much ado, our challenge for this week is to do 20 minutes of praying in the spirit and 20 mins of studying the scriptures daily- for the next 7 days!
C'mon now!! Who's excited?
Sounds so good already right?
We are going to practically be giving God 40 minutes of our time each day for the rest of this week. I already see some sisters who are going to sincerely commit to this exercise coming out with victory on the other side!!
I pray you will be one of them.
We have 24 whole hours everyday to ourselves. This is the creator's gift to humanity. Would it be too much if he asks for just 40 minutes of our time daily for the next 7 days?
Naa.
I think he even deserves wayy more than that, however, we would begin with that for the sake of capacity.
If you cannot pray in the spirit yet, i.e. you do not pray in tongues yet, it's still fine. Just pray in your understanding. It's the same God who hears you. He just wants to see your heart that you are willing to give him your time.
Remember that the whole essence of this challenge is to begin practicing devoting your time to Jesus.
By the way, if you are desirous of the baptism of the Holy spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, just ask Jesus for it. He will give it to you. I'm believing God with you for that!
Also, if you are wondering where you can begin studying the scriptures from, the four gospels is always a great place to start. I'm currently studying the gospel according to John and it has been a delicious meal plan to say the very least. You can try it too if you want or just begin with your favorite gospel. One chapter a day (or maybe more! yaay)
TIP: Set your alarm to make sure you reach the finish point and then lose track of time and just enjoy your challenge.
I remember as a younger Christian who just got filled with the Holy Spirit years ago how difficult it was for me to tarry in the presence of God for 40 whole minutes, boi it was hard! Like that felt like forever plus i didn't feel any magic as i thought i would so why do it? LOL
I certainly look back today and acknowledge that a lot of SPIRITUAL CAPACITY was developing on my inside during those routinal, "boring" days of pressing into God. Don't quit, just keep pushing!
Praying in tongues is so powerful yet so underrated. When you pray in tongues you are communicating mysteries and taking charge of your world in a way you will never fully understand. It is the only language that satan and his little demons will never understand when you speak it, no matter how hard they try.
Haa.
Isn't that good enough reason for you to do it consistently?
Just Tongue it!
WARNING: You will experience a spiritual upgrade at the end of this challenge!! Wowza, I'm fired up already.
Are challenges easy? No. Are they good for you? Absolutely!
No more lukewarmness.
No more indifference.
No more non-chalancy.
No more casualties.
You will literally become edified. (Jude 1:20)
You can pray at a stretch or pray in blocks. Just make sure you are praying. Also, ensure to maximize fallow time (when work and life resumes). E.G. praying under your breath when you are in a bus, taking a shower, cooking, stuck in traffic, etc. Prayer must become a lifestyle for you.
SIDE BAR: As usual, the enemy will try to attack you. Because he is anti-God. He will either try to distract you, discourage you, diminish you, make you feel lazy or get you to doubt the potency of what you are doing.He will try to think his little deceptive thoughts through your mind. He'll try to make you feel like you are wasting your time and should be doing other important things. RESIST HIM. He's only there to kill, steal and destroy you.
So tell me, who is in?!?!
I'm too pumped already!
MEDITATION SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 3
Love you Sis.
Abba loves you dearly.
