THE SPIRITUAL DULLARD {Part 3}
We are concluding this topic in the edition; in previous post, we talked about the need to develop our spiritual life as we grow the physical body. Our spiritual strength is determined by the intelligent quotient (IQ) of our spirit man; this spiritual IQ do not just come by we need to consciously work on it. We also looked at the characteristics of a spiritually unintelligent person and the symptoms to look out for, to identify if you spirit man is not mature.You can access other parts of this message: Part1 , Part2.
"For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them." {Matt 13:15}
Physical dullness can be in action, outlook and in appearance {visible}. Spiritual dullness is purely spiritual and invisible, yet can be manifested. |
Today we are concluding by looking at the consequences of low spiritual intelligence and the dangers that could come with spiritual dullness.
Consequences of Spiritual Dullness
- Lack Spiritual Power: It requires spiritual maturity to obtain spiritual power; when a person is a spiritual dullard then he won’t know when to fast, when to do vigils, when to reverse the works of darkness. {Mark 9:27-29}.
- Un-Utilized Potentials: When a person is a spiritual dullard, it is not certain that he will realize his God given potentials because it is only the creator of the potential that can unveil and empower the potentials he has given you. You will need to be spiritually alert and not a dullard not utilize your God-given potentials so that you don’t misuse it or use it for the devil.
- Unfulfilled Destiny: Spiritual dullness will hinder a man to fulfil his/her destiny. You need spiritual alertness and soundness to be able to safeguard your destiny from the destiny robbers, destiny killers, household enemies and evil people. Samson was very strong physically but he was a spiritual dullard; no wonder he died with his enemies and did not fulfil his destiny to the uttermost. {Judges 16:30}.
- Candidate of Sicknesses & Diseases: Without spiritual power and intelligent, a man can become prey to the powers of darkness. Such people will eat anywhere thereby getting prone to attack; such person will not be conscious of the devices of the enemy until his/health is wasted and he/she become a permanent candidate of the hospital and drugs. I pray for you: Powers assigned to drink your blood and eat your flesh; they shall drink their own blood, they shall eat their own flesh in the name of Jesus.
- Inefficient in Everything: A spiritual dullard will discover that, no matter how hard he/she tries, the result will not be excellent; it is either failure or average. This is because, in order to be successful excellently in life, one requires a special grace; if not you will just be struggle hard with no serious headway.
- Miss many opportunities: The spiritual dullard will usually miss their place of blessings; this is because he/she will see their enemies ad friends and friends as enemies; they will not take the things that will bless them serious {Luke 8:28-36}:
- Unexplainable Failures: The spiritual dullard may experience some kind of failures they cannot explain even when they have put in their best. This could be a result of satanic attack, foundational bondage or other spiritual problems; but because the person is a spiritual dullard and he cannot see, he will think everything is alright and they will continue to fail.
- Mockery & Shame: Such person will continue to experience reproach, shame and mockery as result of not taking spiritual matters serious.
- Becomes and Unbeliever: The spiritual dullard is the type that use the slang “Seeing is believing” The spiritual intelligent person will believe what God has said even when it has not happen and there are no signs. Abraham could be referred as a spiritual intellect and Thomas a spiritual dullard because Thomas did not believe until he saw the nail pierce on Jesus’s hands. {John 20:27-29}
- Rejected & Despised: A spiritual dullard will experience rejection and being despised because such person could be laboring under a curse even without knowing.
- Irrelevant & Forgotten: The spiritual dullard may become irrelevant and forgotten because the helpers that are supposed to see him will not locate him and his potentials will be overshadowed. {Acts 3:1-10}
- Misfit in the house of God: A spiritual dullard will not be able to perform well in the house of God because of low spiritual stamina; such people may even be frustrated and leave the house of God because of people’s actions/reactions.
- Infect love ones with Disease: A spiritual dullard can cause problems for their families and love ones. They can get infections and diseases due to their spiritual carelessness and now infect their love ones.
- Becomes a Backslider: When a Christian remains a spiritual dullard for a period of time, there is high probability of the person falling away from the Christianity totally. It is even more dangerous for such person to come back because they already have the knowledge of the bible even though they have backslidden.
God desires that we should be intelligent and not dull; Knowledgeable and not ignorant; brilliant and not stupid; smart and not sluggish; clever and not stupid;
In order to achieve these, a believe must be wise and reject spiritual dullness.
There is none who understands, there is none who seeks for God {Rom 3:11}
