For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established (Romans 1:11).
The word “established” in the scripture above is translated from the Greek “stērizō,” which means to be made strong or strengthened again. Paul longed to see the Christians in Rome so he could minister to them to be strengthened, spiritually fortified, and grounded.
This same word appears in Acts 15:41, where it says, “And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.” Here, it’s translated as “confirming,” but it’s the same Greek word, “stērizō.” You’d also find it in Acts 16:5 translated as “established”: “And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.”
When the churches were strengthened, they grew. Establishment in the Word and in the Spirit results in spiritual maturity and church growth. This spiritual strengthening isn’t just about an increase in the number of people in the church; it’s about the spiritual depth and stability of the members. Paul’s impartation was to make them strong, to give them a spiritual advantage.
That’s the real “confirmation”; it’s not achieved through religious rituals or recitations, but by the power of the Holy Spirit, through the Word and oftentimes, the laying on of hands. Sometimes, for you to operate at a new and higher level of ministry requires more grace, this kind of strengthening; and you must be positioned to receive it. James 4:6 says, “But he giveth more grace….”
When there’s a new challenge, a new assignment, or an expanded vision, what you need is more grace. So, receive it even now, and function at a new and higher level; established, strong and courageous for the work of the Kingdom. Amen.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the impartation of spiritual gifts and the abundance of grace at work in my life. My spirit is strengthened and established by your Word. I receive more grace for every new level, new responsibility, and greater vision. I walk in the fullness of your divine enablement and fulfil my calling gloriously, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
