(Stir Up The Gift Of God In You)
TO THE BIBLE: 2 TIMOTHY 1:6 KJV
“Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands”
LET’S TALK
When Paul told Timothy to stir up the gift of God in him, he was talking about the power of the Holy Spirit—the amazing ability to make things happen.
This is the same power Jesus mentioned when He said, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you…” (Acts 1:8).
If you’ve received the Holy Spirit, that power is already inside you. However, it can stay dormant unless you activate it, and the fastest way to do that is by speaking in tongues.
1 Corinthians 14:4 says, “He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself.” As you speak in other tongues, not only are you building yourself, you’re also energising yourself in the supernatural; you’re stirring up divine power from within to effect changes in every area of your life.
As you pray in the Spirit, the glory of God is revealed in your life, and the power of God inside you is stirred up.
Ephesians 3:16 shows the Spirit’s desire for us to be strengthened with miracle-working power by the Holy Spirit, and praying in tongues is a way to make that happen.
Praying in tongues also strengthens your faith. The Bible says in Jude 1:20 KJV, “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.”
While faith grows when you hear the Word of God, you keep your faith strong and at its highest level by praying in tongues.

Pray:
Dear Father, I thank you for your glory that’s manifested in my life today as I speak in other tongues. Your power in me is activated, energizing me to walk in divine wisdom, make progress, and rise higher and higher like an edifice, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
