Here on Soul Food Podcast, Motivational Mondays with Bishop Joshua. Hello, dear friends! May the God of the Bible bless your life. Today we are talking about the Apostle Paul, a man of faith, a man used by God to spread the word. When he met Jesus, received the Holy Spirit, put his religious ways aside, and embraced the real faith. However, one day, as every human being, he became old, and his physical due to his age was not the same, but his spirit was the same. We all go through this process of aging. And the apostle Paul saw that his strength was no longer the same, he was lacking physical strength, but his spirit was not weak. Maybe in your case it's not your age, but a problem, a situation that is making your body weak, like you are sick, you are carrying a disease in your body, you are no longer able to walk, to run, to do things you used to do before. But as long as your faith is the same, your spirit is renewed in the presence of God, though the body gets old, tired, the spirit is never. The apostle Paul said, Therefore, I do not lose heart, I do not give up, even though our outward or our body, the outward man is perishing, is aging, is lacking strength day by day, he said, Yet the innerward man is being renewed day by day. Isn't that great? It's marvelous. Even though our outward, our appearance change, if you take a picture of yourself of five years ago, you are going to see the difference. Or just one year ago, you are going to see the difference. So my spirit is not old, my heart is not old, my soul is not old. So no matter what you are facing, which problem you are faced, don't let it come inside of you. Problems, yes, we do have outside, but they cannot be inside of us. What about praying to God today? What about asking Him to renew your soul, your heart, your spirit day by day? Do not get old spiritually. Do not get old in your faith. Keep faith moving, keep your spirit up, never down. May the God of the Bible bless all of you.
