How do you know you have a sound mind, love, and power? (2 Timothy 1:7)

Unless, you are not actively engaged in prayer and meditation, you will not realize what God has given you. 

You need to apply what you have, or it will fade. 

The disciples followed Jesus but could not grasp His teaching till they surrendered completely in prayer. Only after the disciples came together in one accord at the upper chamber did the power of God come upon them. 

A sound mind is in obeying Jesus. When you do, you will receive power and love to reach nations. 

Peter is an example of radical transformation. He would sleep instead of praying with Jesus. But the moment he received the Holy Spirit, he became a prayer warrior and mighty preacher of the word. Every evening the apostles gathered in prayer. All that they were in Christ got revealed to the people. Thousands got saved! 

Every athlete spends rigorous hours daily in training and then gets to see the effect of their practice during the race. 

Many saints aren't in the race today. They are on their track, doing their will. The church gets scattered because of it. 

Rise and shine, believer! Take up your cross and follow Jesus. He will guide and strengthen you to stay faithful till the end. 

Maranatha, Praise God, and Amen.
