Fervent in Spirit!
Romans 12:11
[11] Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
The Lord doesn't just desire human to serve Him in truth and SPIRIT but He always want us to be fervent, filled and steadfast in the spirit.
In our serving the Lord, we have to first serve Him in spirit then we should be fervent in spirit. Why 'in spirit?' The flesh can't please God, it's in enmity with the spirit. With the flesh none can please God. Guess you see the reason of being fervent and serving God in spirit.
Looking at some verses, Acts 18:24-25 - Apollos had a good commendation because of his ferventness in the spirit; 1 Peter 4:8 - we're advised to be fervent in love (a characteristic of a Christian).
Being fervent in the spirit is being zealous of the things of God. The benefits of being fervent in the spirit are so numerous:
1) Spiritually Alive
2) Spiritual Champion
3) Physical Dominion
And so many others.
Beloved, I pray that God should revive our spirits.
Shalom!
