MATT. 6:34B: SUFFICIENT UNTO THE DAY IS THE EVIL THEREOF.
Arrival mentality is where someone is over-satisfied with their current level of achievement or over-relying on their past effort, sucess and results while overlooking the need for more effort, success and results. It is a state of premature contentment. For instance, if someone has prayed and fasted in the past and concluded or assumed that such prayer or fasting was enough to sustain them in the future, that is an arrival mentality. It is an error. That kind of mentality is a destroyer of spirituality.
Beloved, in order to build a strong spirituality, every kind of arrival mentality must be destroyed from your life. This is achieved by a conscious and consistent process of mental renovation. The renovation of mentality, therefore, is key to dealing with the tragedy of arrival mentality.
The following are the things we need to know in order to avoid arrival mentality.
a) YESTERDAY'S PRAYER MAY NOT HANDLE TODAY'S CHALLENGES: This is because each day comes with its own challenges. According to our anchor scripture, each day has enough load of its own trouble to be tackled. Yesterday's prayer may not handle today's challenges just like yesterday's food cannot handle today's hunger. It does not matter what and how much you ate yesterday, it cannot handle today's hunger. So, the fact that you prayed well yesterday does not make prayer irrelevant today. Beloved, you need to pray today. you need to pray everyday.
b) GOD EXPECTS DAILY FELLOWSHIP WITH HIS PEOPLE: In Genesis 19:27, we see how Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord. That means there was a place and a time Abraham met with God and he was consistent about it. Beloved, it appears God has a daily schedule with man (Job 7:17-18). It is one thing for God to visit, but it is another thing for you to be aware of His visit. so, the reason why the prayer of yesterday is not sufficient for today is that there is a schedule for our daily appointment with God, and that schedule must be kept daily.
Therefore, beloved, never rely on your spiritual success of yesteryears. Endeavor to remain current spiritually. Remain spiritually vibrant! Remain on fire!
REMEMBER THIS: Yesterday's prayer may not handle today's challenges.!
