1. Stay continually in God's Word.
“Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD…” — Jeremiah 23:29
The Word of God keeps your spirit alive and your convictions strong. Don't only read the Bible when you need an answer; make it a daily lifestyle.
Practice Reading, meditating, studying, and applying the Word every day.
2. Maintain a consistent prayer life.
“Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit…” — Ephesians 6:18
Pray All Prayers.
Prayer keeps your relationship with God active. A neglected prayer life can gradually weaken spiritual sensitivity.
Have personal prayer times,
schedule your prayer time,
pray in the Spirit,
and learn to commune with God throughout the day.
3. Keep your fellowship with God and His people.
“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together…” — Hebrews 10:25
Spiritual fire is easier to maintain when you are surrounded by people who love God and encourage your faith.
Attend church meetings regularly, participate in fellowship, and stay connected to spiritually mature believers,
Be found amongst the brethren.
4. Guard your heart
“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” — Proverbs 4:23
What you repeatedly watch, listen to, read, and entertain can either feed or weaken your heart.
Be intentional about your relationships,
conversations,
entertainment,
watch what you watch,
and the things you allow to occupy your mind.
5. Keep serving God and stirring up your spiritual gift.
“Neglect not the gift that is in thee…” — 1 Timothy 4:14
Paul also told Timothy:
“Stir up the gift of God, which is in thee…” — 2 Timothy 1:6
Fire must be tended. Don't become passive with what God has placed in you. Use your gift,
evangelize,
serve,
worship,
pray for others, and continue growing.
A simple principle?
The fire you don't tend will eventually diminish.
