2 Timothy 1 vs 6 in Yoruba

2 Timotiu 1:6 On kì yio jẹ́ ki ẹsẹ rẹ ki o yẹ̀; ẹniti npa ọ mọ́ kì yio tõgbe.

Key: Every fire needs oxygen to burn; the same way the gifts of the Holy Spirit in us need the right vitality to stir it up for manifestation. 

To stir up the gifts of the spirit in us we must do more of the things that profit the spirit and less/zero of the things that profit the flesh. Some of the things that profit the spirit include: Praying always (Acts 2:42), studying and meditating on God’s word (2Timothy 2:15), obedience to God’s Word (John 14:21), worshiping God always (John 4:23), doing the things of God with zeal (Romans 12:11), expressing the Love of God to others and soul winning (Matthew 4:17).  

Action: Keep the fire burning.
