WALKING IN THE SPIRIT

Text : Gal. 6:16.

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh._ 

So many Christians have hit the rock as far as the Christian race is concerned. They just go to church and do religion, but they are no longer journeying. The pursuit of Holy living and sanctification is no longer there. 

You have been called to a race. Christianity is not religion, it's a race. Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the *race that is set before us.* Heb 12:1. This implies that you are in a RACE. 

To run this race however, you must play according to the rules or else you you won't get the prize.You know that in a race all the runners run but only one wins the prize, don’t you? You must run in such a way that you may be victorious.1Co 9:24.

Any believer who runs according to the rules is considered to be walking in the Spirit. One of the first rules is to walk in the Spirit. The moment you stopped walking in the Spirit, you start fulfilling the lust of the flesh. 

Walking denotes movement. Some years after you have given your life to Christ, you must be able to look back and see how far you have journeyed from who you used to be. Note that if there is no movement forward, there's is certainly movement backward. 

Galatians 5:19-21 enumerated what the works of the flesh are. When you walk in the Spirit, you will journey away from these dead works. If you are still entangled with any of these works,  know that you are not really walking in the Spirit. 

It is easy to be sliding back into these fleshy works and not realise it, simply because you are not consciously walking according to the leading of the Spirit. Rom 8:14.

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. Rom. 8:11-12.

 *WALK IN THE SPIRIT AND YOU WILL NOT FULFIL THE LUST OF THE FLESH* 

Bible reading: Gal. 5:16-26.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
