Devotional Series for Pentecost 2025 – Rekindle
“For this reason, I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands.” (2 Timothy 1:6, NRSV)
In a Bible context, “Rekindle” generally refers to reviving or reigniting something that has diminished or grown cold, often in the spiritual realm. It’s about bringing back a flame or fervor that was once present but has waned due to neglect or other circumstances. This is primarily used in 2 Timothy 1:6, where Paul encourages Timothy to “rekindle the gift of God”.
The message encourages believers to re-engage with their faith, return to their first love for God, and recommit to serving Him. Being passionate for God involves rekindling the spiritual fire within. We are reminded to “Rekindle” the gift of God within us. This emphasizes that it’s not a suggestion, but a conscious decision to stir up something that has been allowed to weaken.
How do we rekindle our relationship with the Spirit, or our spiritual gifts, or our devotion to God? In the next few weeks in the Season of Pentecost, we will hear messages on this devotional series, “Rekindle”. The hope for this devotional series is to encourage us believers to re-engage with our faith, recommit to serving God, and being passionate for God as we “Rekindle” the spiritual fire within us. Amen!
