Abstract

. It’s been a long time since I entered a church building. But a day doesn’t pass when I don’t read my Bible or meditate on scriptures.In the process of sharing the word of God with friends, I have realized how important it is to carry out a spiritual checkup. We normally do regular physical checkups for our bodies. But how often do we do spiritual checkups?This is why it is important. You move away from social media. From television. And you create some quiet time for yourself. In the past, people used to go to the mountains and spend days there. I am not sure whether people still do it. But it is a good exercise. And then you spend time with God. And think about the journey of your life. Are you still on course? Are you still under His will? Do you know His will for your life?In that moment, you will know whether you are in tune with God or out of tune with Him.

Questions to ask your spirit

We live in a world filled with challenges. These days it is worse. The pandemic has affected almost everyone. The stress levels are high. If there is a period when it is easy to get lost, this is it.

This is the period when you can take things to the extreme regarding your spiritual life. Most people have opted out of the church while others have found comfort in joining the church. Everyone has their own reasons.

Some people last stepped into a church building at the beginning of 2020. The pandemic has changed a lot of things. For some people, the world of books has opened up to them. Online services have become the order of the day. It’s been a long time since I entered a church building. But a day doesn’t pass when I don’t read my Bible or meditate on scriptures.

In the process of sharing the word of God with friends, I have realized how important it is to carry out a spiritual checkup. We normally do regular physical checkups for our bodies. But how often do we do spiritual checkups?

This is why it is important. You move away from social media. From television. And you create some quiet time for yourself. In the past, people used to go to the mountains and spend days there. I am not sure whether people still do it. But it is a good exercise. And then you spend time with God. And think about the journey of your life. Are you still on course? Are you still under His will? Do you know His will for your life?

In that moment, you will know whether you are in tune with God or out of tune with Him. If you are out of tune, you will get bored in that moment, a sign that you need to spend more time with Him.

You have to come to that place of awareness. That place where we don’t have our own agendas but simply surrendering to the will of God to obey Him. To be influenced by His Spirit.

Spirituality starts on an individual basis. God doesn’t call groups of people. He calls individuals. Take as an example, the case of Gideon, when God called him.

“And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, ‘The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!’” (Judges 6:12, NKJV).

Notice, the Angel of the Lord told Gideon, “The Lord is with you.” But how did Gideon reply?

“And Gideon said to him, ‘O my lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us?’” (Judges 6:13, NKJV).

“If the Lord is with us.” That was his reply. The call was to him, and not to them. Spirituality starts with you. And it starts in that place when you take a personal spiritual checkup.

Encouraging, empowering, and entertaining. In Christ.
