SOW TO THE SPIRIT

Text:Galatians  6:8 

For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Since there is no middle ground between the Flesh and the Spirit, the moment you stop sowing to the flesh,  you've started sowing to the Spirit and vice versa. 

The first step to sowing to the Spirit is to commit one's life to Christ. Having become a new creature (born again), the Spirit of God now communicates with  your spirit. You are no longer dead to God. You have been quickened.  2Cor. 5:17, Eph 2:1-3. 

It takes one who has experienced second birth (Born again) to sow to the Spirit. If you are yet to commit your life to Christ, you will not only sow to the flesh, but you are practically  living in the flesh. 

Ephesians 2:3 says *...Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.* 

For a child of God to enjoy his walk with  the Lord, he must learn how to sow to the Spirit. To sow to the Spirit is to do the biddings of the Holy Spirit. Each time you obey the voice of the Spirit, you are simply sowing to the Spirit. When you continually heed and yield to the Spirit, you will reap life everlasting. 

Though, you are living in the Spirit as a child of God, but the utmost desire of God is that you start walking in the Spirit as well.
 *If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.* Galatians 5:25. 
To walk in the Spirit talks about you being led by the Holy Spirit. Each time you obey the voice of the Spirit, and you walk contrary to the desires of the flesh, you are simply taking a step (walk) in the Spirit.That is what it means to be led by the Spirit.  *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.* Romans 8:14.

When you obey the leadings of the Holy Spirit, you start bearing fruit of the Spirit. *It takes one who lives and abides in the Spirit to bear the fruit of the Spirit. No one living in the flesh can produce the fruit of the Spirit.*
 
 _But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law._ 
Galatians 5:22

Let the Spirit of God lead you from now on, then you will cease from fulfilling the desires of the flesh.

BIBLE READING:

Romans 8:1-32.

PRAYER FOCUS

1. Father, I receive grace to start obeying the voice and leadings of the Holy Spirit in Jesus name.

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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
