"but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."



10 WAYS TO RENEW YOUR STRENGHT IN THE LORD


1. Faith- John 11:40 "-Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?" When the Lord gives you a promise in His word , you need to constantly renew your strength in faith in anticipation of your desired expectation. If not you would lose hope and kill your dream..How do you do that ? Keep hearing the word , listening to messages , meditating constantly .faith grows . Roms 10:17(NIV)"Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ."
2.Courage - While you wait upon the lord , you need to be very courageous in the face of your challenge .the key is the more you wait upon the lord the more your strength is being renewed in courage , so as to be able to stand strong after you have done all . Eph 6:13 (NIV)"Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand." stand in faith , stand in courage , stand in expectation , stand in joy
3.Prayer - The key about renewing your strength in prayer is this - the longer the wait , the deeper the prayer gets and the more your strength is being renewed in anticipation of your harvest .So keep praying about your God ordained dream and don't lose hope . James 5:16b (NLT)"The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results." Elijah prayed for the rain not to fall for three years and the Lord granted his request .James 5:17 . Listen there is tremendous power hidden in your prayer . don't give up on it . Once the set time comes , the answers will pour down like rain .believe.  Eccl 11:3a" If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth:"
4.Giving - for you to mount up with wings as an" eagle" in the financial arena , your strength needs to be renewed again and again in your giving. why? It takes grace to give to God what you have never given to Him before, .but the more you wait or tarry in His presence , the more the strength will come for you to do that which needs to be done for your finances to take a different turn. Abel gave an offering to the lord by faith and his blood spoke from the ground. Gen 4:10 (NLT)"The LORD said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground." Key- blood carries life in it . There is power in your financial seed .
5.Thanksgiving - It takes grace to appreciate God , when the facts on the ground is telling you a different story .But here is the key - when you wait upon the lord in thanksgiving , he prepares you to receive what He has promised . ( your dream/expectations) Heb 10:36(NIV)"You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised." what is His will ? 1 Thess 5:18 - In all circumstances give me thanks .
6.Joy - . The word of God is joy in your heart (John 15:11). Now here the key , the more we wait the more our strength is renewed in joy .and when you lock unto His joy , you have locked unto your dreams for life . Why? joy will always bring in your harvest .(Dream/expectations )John 15:11 (NIV)"I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete." .just to still convince you see Roms 8:25b (Msg)"That is why waiting does not diminish us, any more than waiting diminishes a pregnant mother. We are enlarged in the waiting. We, of course, don’t see what is enlarging us. But the longer we wait, the larger we become, and the more joyful our expectancy."
7.Patience - The longer the wait , the more patient you become and with patience , you can never miss the birth of your dream/expectations . Why? He will see to it that it comes to pass right on time . Hab 2:3 (GWT)"The vision will still happen at the appointed time. It hurries toward its goal. It won't be a lie. If it's delayed, wait for it. It will certainly happen. It won't be late."
8. Love - Love is what helps your faith to work . The more the wait, the more the Lord renews your strength in love .And love is a spiritual force .you can only receive what you have given.Luke 6:38a "give" give love , give joy  and it will return back to you in events and in circumstances what you have given .Simple example - Say hi to someone cheerfully and he will respond back the same way . You find it becomes easy for you to easily forgive others with time when your strength has being renewed in the lord, quick to do good even towards those that hate you . Why ? David gives us this secret in Psalms 119:11 (NIV)" I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you."- When you have the word hidden in your heart , you are careful not to do what is not right .
9.Expectations - Without expectation , you cannot birth forth your dream . while you wait upon Him , he renews your strength in expectation of your desired dream , that is the more reason you should never give up on your God ordained dream .it will come to pass .Psalm 40:1 (Amp)"I waited patiently and expectantly for the Lord; and He inclined to me and heard my cry."
10.Grace . Every day as you wait upon Him , grace ( strength ) comes to prepare you for the manifestation of your dream/vision , so you won't give up on it . Key - As long as His grace comes every morning to renew your strength , never give up on that God ordained dream/vision , it will come to pass . hold on to it . Lam 3:23(Amp)" They are new every morning; great and abundant is Your stability and faithfulness."
