How To Be Continually Charged. RCCG SOD Year Six

In SA7, we have advised you to keep your battery charged> How do we do this? By not allowing it to run down.

There are two ways to run down a battery. One is inactivity. The second way is by using it without recharging it.

#1 Inactivity

Everybody knows that if you have a battery on the ground, without being used for a long time, it is going to run down. That is true of the physical is also true of the spiritual. No matter how well charged your battery is, if you don’t use it to do something, it will run down.

It does not matter the gift of God in you, if you don’t use the gifts, they will run down. That is why Paul said in 1 Timothy 4:14 “Neglect not the gift of God that is in thee”.

in 2 Timothy 1:6 he reminded Timothy again when he said “Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir of the gift of God which is in thee by putting on of my hands”

He said do not let the gift of God in you remain idle.

Remember the story of the talents, somebody got five talents, another two and the third one got two talents. The one that got five used his own and it became ten. The one who got two used his and it became four. The one who got one did not use his own and it became zero because it was taken from him. When you have the gifts of God in you, one way of keeping the battery hot is by suing the gifts constantly.

#2 Use Without Recharging

Another way of running down a battery is by continuous use without recharge. No matter how well charged the battery is, if you use it and you don’t recharge it, it is going to run down.

Type of Spiritual Activities

There are two types of spiritual activities. There are the spiritual activities that use up energy and there are those that generate energy.

Spiritual Activities that use up energy

#1 Healing

If you lay hands on the sick and they got healed, some of your energies will be used up.

In Mark 5:25-31, Jesus noticed that:

“Virtue has gone out of him”.

That is when the woman with the issue of blood touched his garment. He knew that virtue had gone out of Him. This means that some spiritual energy was used up in healing the woman.

#2 Casting out Demons

When you cast out demons, you use up spiritual energy. According to Zechariah 4:6-7, the Bible says:

“…not by power nor by might but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. This mountain shall be removed”.

Demons are mountains to some people. It takes spiritual energy to move mountains.

#3 Witnessing

When you go witnessing, you use up spiritual energy. According to Acts 1:8, the Bible says:

“Ye shall receive power, after the Holy Ghost is come upon you, then you shall be witnesses unto me”.

So you need power to witness. You use up power to heal and you use up power to cast out demons.

Spiritual Activities that generates Power

There are some spiritual activities that generate power. In 1 Thess. 5:19, you can see a list of activities that generate energy. It says:
“Rejoice forevermore;

Pray without ceasing;

In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Quench not the Spirit”.

#1 Prayer

Rejoicing, praying without ceasing, giving thanks, praying in the spirit generates energy. In fact, in Jude verse 20, the Bible says you should build up yourself in the most holy faith as you pray in the Holy Ghost.

#2 Fasting

Fasting also creates spiritual energy. The body may be weak but the spirit will be strong. That is why the Bible say in 1 Cor. 7:5, Paul talks about himself, he says, he is watching and fasting often. In 2 Cor. 11:27, Paul, a man that was mightily used of God said, I fast often”. You better learn from Him.

#3 Bible Study

Bible study is another way of generating spiritual energy. Remember in Hebrews 4:12, the word of God says, “The Word of God is quick and powerful”.

The word of God is quick and full of power. Jesus says in John 6:63, My words are Spirit and Life. When you study the Word of God, you assimilate life.

#4 Worship

When you begin to worship God, you generate spiritual power. In Isaiah 40:29-31, the Bible , talking about the Almighty God says:

“He giveth power to the faint and to them that he hath no might, he increased strength. Even the youth shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly weary”.

In other words, if you learn to wait upon the Lord in worship, while others are failing and falling, your own strength will be renewed.

In 2 Kings 3:15, Elisha said,

“…bring me a minstrel…”

And when the minstrel came, they began to worship God, they began to praise God. The bible says the Hand of God came upon Elisha, and I am telling you when God lays His hands on you, power will be released upon you because Psalm 22:3 says,

“God inhabits the praise of his people”.

And so when God is present, there can be no lack of power.

That is why in Mark6:30-32, when the disciples returned after they had gone out to cast out demons and to heal the sick, to cleanse lepers, after using up tremendous energy, Jesus Christ said unto them, come ye apart and recharge so that you can go forth and do more.

So, how do we recharge? By prayer, Thanksgiving, Praying in tongues, Bible Study and worship. If you do all these, the power will keep on increasing. You will keep on moving forward, from strength to strength, mounting up with wings like eagles, so you will run and will not faint.

Talk to the Lord now.

Spend some time praising Him.

Recharge your battery and God will bless you as you do so.
