Then from the presence of God, Jesus would go into the crowd for ministry. Like Jesus, every Christian worker needs a strategy for personal renewal and spiritual development. The simple piety that brings us to ministry is not enough to keep us through the long dark nights. We must work out our own spiritual renewal with fear and trembling. Renewal can be simply defined as the process of making something new, or like new, again.
Spiritual renewal brings zeal and vitality into our lives and ministries.
It brings new life to our worship of God, our walk with God, and our work for God. Like spiritual growth, renewal does not happen by chance. It takes a conscious effort for it to happen. We must respond by participating in the process. We need to take an active part in setting gaols and developing a plan for personal renewal.
