The Believer's Passion
A believers passion can fade out if left untended. Just like a burning fire, it wont burn continuously without putting something to keep it alive. This usually happens to a new believer. They share their burning faith to others, serving God passionately but this enthusiasm fade unintentionally.
When trials struck their lives, they might think that God is not answering their prayers, that God doesn't love them anymore which causes a believer to cool down. He then, pray's less. Making a distance from God slowly and slowly until there is now a gap. Other believers can be sidetracked by the priorities in life. Doing the worldly things, putting the unimportant the most important like, spending all the time working, studying, playing and ect. Whatever the reason behind it. Satan is the root of that. He seduce every members of the church, lure's believer away from God. Away from the ways of God.
Drifting from God is difficult to notice. There are six question that help you determine whether your passion to God remains on fire. First is ask yourself, do I delight in Him? Am I willing to serve Him and others? Second question is, "Do I spend time reading the bible everyday?". Next, do I pray knowing that is there listening to every word I say? Fourth is, do you go to church regularly? The fifth question is do I experience happiness, contentment and hope with God? And lastly, do I stand firm in my godly convicetions?
If your answers have changed from yes to no, your passion may be fading. Right now, tell God about this. Ask God to keep your fire burning.
