Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 7 September 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: The Benefits Of Camping With God
TOPIC: The Benefits Of Camping With God (Seeds Of Destiny 7 September 2024)
SCRIPTURE: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When you camp with God, you don’t only renew strength; you also renew your health.
MESSAGE:
It has been established that who you hang with determines what hangs on you. Association brings assimilation.
When you associate with someone, after a while, you begin to look like them, talk like them or act like them. That is why those who spend time with God assimilate the Character and Nature of God.
When you camp or spend time with God, you acquire the Nature and Character of God, and when you acquire the Nature of God, you stand out in life. Those who camp or spend time with God stand out from the rest of the people.
Now, what are the benefits of waiting on God?
i. Waiting on the Lord is key to supernatural strength.
They that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength (Isaiah 40:31).
You gain strength when you wait on the Lord. You become stronger spiritually when you hang around God. You are not permitted to be a victim of weakness if you wait on the Lord.
There is a song we usually sing many years ago. The song says,
We have come to thee O Lord (2x).
We have come to the Father.
We have come to renew strength.
When you come to God, you move from one level of spiritual strength to another.
So, waiting on the Lord is key to supernatural strength.
ii. Waiting on the Lord is key to Divine health.
Waiting on the Lord is vital to the renewal of your health. To wait on the Lord is like going to the mechanic workshop to have your car serviced. Just as we go to the mechanic workshop to service our car by removing stale or bad engine oil, when you go to God, He services your life by removing sickness, afflictions and diseases.
Look at what happened to Moses after he had stayed with God for a long time.
Deuteronomy 34:7 says,
And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
As a result of staying with God, his eyes were not dim, and his natural force was not abated. He tarried with God and every sickness or disease was cleaned out of his system.
Beloved, when you camp with God, you don’t only renew strength; you also renew your health.
Remember this: When you camp with God, you don’t only renew strength; you also renew your health.
ASSIGNMENT:
- Make up your mind to spend time with God at the place of prayer.
- Remain with God until you renew your strength and revitalize your health.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace and discipline to camp with You. Deliver me from the attitude of laziness and indiscipline to prayer, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
