SPIRITUAL STAMINA!
Proverbs 24:10, ‘If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.”
Stamina is the ability to sustain prolonged physical or mental effort. Spiritual stamina then, is the ability to stay in power with God. It is spiritual staying power. It is every activity of endurance that will lead you to total spiritual fitness. Because we face challenges every day, it is important that we work on our spiritual stamina every day. When we develop spiritual stamina, the false traditions of the world as well as our personal daily challenges will have little or no negative impact on our ability to endure in righteousness. We need spiritual stamina or staying power in order to stay true to our faith and calling through all the ups and downs in life. Spiritual stamina is weathering through adverse conditions till its expiration. 2 Timothy 2:3 says, “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” The life you live is a report card of your spiritual stamina. The way you do things reveals your strength spiritually. Spiritual stamina is revealed in different believers’ lifestyle such as prayer life, level of holiness, ability to resist temptation, brokenness, studying the Bible, fasting, tolerance, giving, offences, etc. As Christians we are called to be long distance mountain marathon runners — not just short distance sprinters. Just as an athlete needs to build up his muscles and aerobic fitness, developing the strength and stamina for the endurance needed, so we need to stretch our faith, our devotion, our obedience and skills. Christians need to stretch minds and muscles, escape from comfort zones and persevere — keep on keeping on — fighting the good fight of faith. The truth, beloved, is that the spiritual exercises that birth spiritual stamina have to be done consistently over an appreciable period of time for them to yield great results. That calls for discipline.
