Are You a Pen Filled With Ink?
“My heart overflows with a pleasing
theme; I address my verses to the king; my tongue is like the pen of a ready
scribe.” (Psalm 45:1, ESV)
We use this key verse in KingdomNomics
to help us with the concepts of SOAK, SOW, and FLOW. As we soak our heart in
the Word of God and recite our verses to the King, the Spirit causes our heart
to overflow with spiritual nourishment. This discipline strengthens our inner
person so Christ can prompt us to help continue his ministry in this world.
Let’s focus on the word “pen”
mentioned in the verse. You and I are like pens. A pen is an instrument used to
communicate a message to others. Without ink, the pen is useless.
The Spirit can be like the ink needed
for a pen to function. In order for us to be “pens” or instruments God can use
to continue “writing his story” to this generation, we need to be filled with
the ink of the Holy Spirit.
(We do this through SOAK, SOW, and
FLOW principle explained in our books, which can be downloaded FREE

Bottom line: We must confess our sin
and ask the Holy Spirit to fill and control us. If we are to be fruitful in our
knowledge of Jesus Christ – that is, to yield active CONVERTERLATORS – we need
the filling of the Spirit.
A pen without ink is left on the desk.
Only when it is filled with ink can it then be picked up by the writer to write
one’s message to the world.
My personal goal is to be a pen filled
with “the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship
of the Holy Spirit…” (2 Corinthians 13:14, ESV)
Just think what powerful instruments
we could be if the grace of Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the
Holy Spirit dominated our lives.
Today, ask yourself:
Am I a pen filled with “ink” fit for
use by the Master to continue writing his story to the people around me?
