THE LAW 2

 *Text :* Romans 8:2.


 *For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.* 


Today, we shall be looking at the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. 


Our text opens with the word 'for', meaning because.  This shows that this verse is explaining the preceeding verse,

Verse one -  ```There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.``` 


Two things are involved in this verse:

1. *No condemnation.*  Everyone likes to claim this promise, but this is not a free for all covenant. The only people that will not be condemned are those who are in Christ Jesus and who have fulfilled the second clause in the verse.


 *You are not a Christian because you go to church,  you are a Christian because you are in Christ Jesus.* 


2. *Not after the flesh :* Once you are a Christian,  (someone in Christ Jesus), you are expected to desist from walking after the dictates of the flesh and to start following the leadings of the Spirit. 


 *Your sonship in Christ Jesus is determined by the Spirit leading you.* 

Romans 8:14 says For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.


Now this is what gave rise to verse two. The reason you will not walk after the flesh is because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made you free from the law of sin and death.


 *To follow the law of the Spirit of life is to allow the Holy Spirit to lead you in all things.* 


The Holy Spirit is not just our comforter, He is also our teacher.

 ```But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.``` John  14:26.


Allow the Holy Spirit to teach you. He is the Spirit of the Father, He will teach you all things that pertains to life and Godliness. 


It is only through the leadings of the Spirit that you can truly be free from the power of the law of sin and death.


 *BIBLE READING:* 


Romans 8:1-14.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 


1. Father,  help me to continually yield to the leadings of the Holy Spirit.

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...
