Strong spiritual lives are not built accidentally; they are the result of sound, deliberate training. 2 Timothy 2:3-4 says, “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” The Christian life is warfare, and only trained soldiers can endure the pressures of life and still emerge victorious. Spiritual training furnishes you with the stamina, skill, and strength needed to face challenges without breaking down. Without it, a believer will be weak, shallow, and easy prey to the enemy’s devices.
Hebrews 5:14 adds, “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” Spiritual maturity comes by exercising yourself in the Word of God and in spiritual disciplines like prayer, study, obedience, and right living. It is not enough to attend church services; you must engage personally with the Word until your senses are trained to discern the things of God. Emotional zeal is not a substitute for disciplined spiritual growth.
Sound spiritual training raises you to a level where you are no longer a casualty but a champion in the battles of life.
God is raising a company of believers who are thoroughly trained—like Daniel, Joseph, and Esther—who will not only survive but excel in every environment. You must decide to be one of them. Refuse to be a spiritual baby tossed around by every challenge. Give yourself to sound teachings, discipline your life in righteousness, and exercise yourself in godliness. As you do, you will find that your spirit grows strong, your discernment sharpens, and your victory becomes consistent. Spiritual training is not optional for those who want to walk in true victory; it is the foundation for a glorious Christian life.
THOUGHT TO PONDER: Are you committed to deliberate spiritual training and growth? What disciplines do you need to strengthen to become a spiritually strong and stable believer?
PRAYER: Father, thank You for the opportunity to grow and be trained in Your kingdom. Help me to embrace spiritual discipline and commit to sound training. Strengthen me to endure hardness as a good soldier of Christ, and cause me to become a strong, discerning believer. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
