5 Basic Spiritual Tools To Grow Your Faith

By Lisa Campbell


Faith is nurtured when its foundations are strong. It blossoms and brings incredible meaning and benefits to your life. You need to identify the fundamental spiritual tools that will help your faith to grow. These pillars anchor your transformation into a strong spiritual being that has great respect for life.

Read the Word of God to know what He wants. Christians are required to live according to the dictates of the Scripture. The word can be found in the bible and other books that are prepared by persons who have been commissioned like apostles and pastors. The word addresses different elements of life and keep you grounded.

Be persistent in prayer. Do not pray because you need something from God. Prayer should form the basis of the life of every individual. Pray when you need something and thank God for that which you have received. Make fasting a part of your Christian life because it helps you focus.

Praise and worship the Lord in spirit and truth. Singing psalms and songs of praise help you acknowledge the place of God in your life. While hymns express exaltation to God, they should be backed by actions. It is unacceptable to sing praises while you continue to deliberately live a life of sin. If your praise and worship are to be in spirit and truth, they must be backed by actions.

Sharing your spirituality in a community of fellow believers will help you grow. Your spirit benefits a lot when you share the word with other people. It is an opportunity to explore other perspectives that might not be understood when you are reading His word alone. Through sharing, you understand different manifestations of God. You will have a broader understanding of almighty God and his deeds.

Serve humanity in order to see the manifestation of God. People ignore the blessings bestowed on their lives because they are living in a particular type of comfort. There are people who cannot even afford that which you are complaining about. Once you engage in charity, you appreciate the unique things God is doing in you and not other people. You will also get a chance to feel God in a different light.

Slow down and reflect on your life and the presence of God in it. People ignore the good deeds of God because they assume it is normal. Though you are yet to receive that which you prayed for, there is a lot more that you have already received. Thank God for it. Stop the arrogance and disgruntled feeling. If you can reflect on how good God has been to you, gratitude will flow from your heart and your faith fill increase.

Like a vehicle on the road, spirituality requires constant refilling. Share your experiences with other people in a community of believers. Take guidance from an anointed man who will direct you onto paths of righteousness. Once these pillars become a part of your life, it will change and take a different trajectory never seen before.
