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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
