=GET YOURSELF SOME FAITH “BOLT ON’S”=
2 Peter 1:5-8 (NKJV)
But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith
virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control
perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness,
and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound,
you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
Faith is truly an incredible thing and produces everything we need in our
lives from our initial salvation to seeing all manner of mountains moved
throughout our lives. Faith alone would be a powerful thing but Peter says
if you are ready to experience some serious fruitfulness in your life there
are some Bolt on's you can add to it. I got the term "bolt on's" when I
recently went to purchase a mobile phone and the salesperson offered me
certain bolt on's, or added extras for being a good customer. These bolt
on's were things that would improve my phone and make it work more
efficiently for me.
People have said that you cannot add anything to faith and this is right
when it comes to making things happen in your life, but when it comes to
your life being developed into all God intended for it to be, Peter said
there are actually 7 things you can add or bolt on to your faith that will
empower it.
He states that if you dare to bolt these 7 things onto your faith and let
them abound, you will keep yourself from being barren of unfruitful. I
don't know about you, but I want to live a fruitful life for God. I don't
want to live some barren shrivelled thing that is like the withered fig tree
Jesus encountered which was only good for cursing. I want a life that is
blossoming and producing good healthy produce. What do you need to do?
Simply download and daily apply these 'bolt ons'. Notice how each one fits
systematically onto the other and how Peter teaches us to add the next one
to the one we established or bolted on before.
Let's look at these seven things again from the Message Translation of the
Word:
- Good character
- Spiritual understanding
- Alert discipline
- Passionate patience
- Reverent wonder
- Warm friendliness
- Generous love,
So, we learn today that there are some things that will mix or bolt onto our
faith and actually improve the potential of our lives. Let's all be bolting
these seven things to our faith today.
Bless you
Andy
