Introduction
Vitamins and minerals are essential to helping our body develop and function as it should. While most people get all of what is recommended by eating healthy, others need a little extra nutrient boost. That is where supplements come in, they provide us with the support our body needs to stay healthy.
Everyone knows the value of taking vitamins on a regular basis, however, not many people remember to take their daily spiritual vitamins, which help us develop spiritually as we should. If you want to stay healthy spiritually, then below are a few spiritual vitamins to help us in our development.
Vitamin A
The Assurance Vitamin
‘The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.’ Psalm 23
The Assurance Vitamin gives us a feeling of complete confidence and assurance. It feeds our faith and starves our doubts. In itself, it is a one-a-day vitamin.
Why not read and meditate on it every day for 30 days? It can transform your life. You will have more energy than you know what to do with.
Vitamin P
The Positive Vitamin
‘This is the day the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.’ Psalm 118:24
The Positive Vitamin reminds us that every day is a good day because God has given it to us. If it seems bad, many times it’s because we make it that way.
Let the sunshine be in your soul today. Doctors say that a positive attitude helps people to get well sooner.
Vitamin K
The Kindness Vitamin
‘Do to others as you would have them do to you.’ Luke 6:31
The Kindness Vitamin reminds us that people are starved of kindness. They desperately need it. Don’t let the opportunity pass. Practice it daily.
William Penn said, “If therefore there be any kindness I can show or any good thing I can do any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.”
Vitamin B
The Blessing Vitamin
‘Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.’ Ephesians 3:20-21
The Blessing Vitamin helps us ask the question; did you know we can’t ever imagine the blessings God is capable of giving us? God’s power in a Christian is a marvelous thing to behold.
Do you ask for his blessings daily? Do you thank him daily? You can’t count them all!
Vitamin E
The Escape Vitamin
‘No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.’ 1 Corinthians 10:13
The Escape Vitamin reminds us that it is easy to become discouraged because sin can so easily beset us. We want to want to give up. The only thing necessary for sin to triumph over sin is for good people to do nothing.
Don’t ever give up or give in. Look for the escape hatch. It’s there.
Vitamin C
The Contented Vitamin
‘I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.’ Philippians 4:12-13
The Contented Vitamin reminds us that most people in the world are not a contented people. We may need a double dose of this vitamin.
Notice our strength comes from Christ, not ourselves. The next time you start complaining and whining make a list of your blessings.
Vitamin D
The Anti-Doubt Vitamin
‘Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.’ Proverbs 3:5-6
The Anti-Doubt Vitamin reminds us that our success as Christians depends upon our ability to trust God. Doubt is one of Satan’s most potent weapons. Doubt is the reason we fail so many times.
Doubt is also the reason our prayers fail also. Doubt knocks the props out from under our faith so don’t allow it to do this to you.
Vitamin F
The Anti-Fear Vitamin
‘For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.’ 2 Timothy 1:7
The Anti-Fear Vitamin reminds us that fear is something we create.
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.’ Joshua 1:9.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. If we are on God’s side, there is nothing to fear.
Vitamin G
The Goal Vitamin
‘Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind.’ Ecclesiastes 12:13
The Goal Vitamin reminds us of our main purpose in life. This is our goal. Nothing else should exceed it. We want to be strong and pleasing to God, which is our goal.
Our reward is to enjoy happiness in this life and heaven in the life to come. What more can we ask?
Conclusion
Take these vitamins daily and remember that the power of these spiritual vitamins is not in just repeating these words every day but in believing them and putting them into action.
A deficiency in any of these vitamins can result in an unfruitful, weak, tired, sickly Christian life.
