Bible Texts: Gen.1:26-28, Gen.3:1-5, Rom.8:5-6, 2Cor.5:17, Rom.6:1, Ps.24:1, Gal.6:8, 1Cor.2:14, Jn.3:6, Jn.4:24
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh, but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be CARNALLY minded is death, but to be SPIRITUALLY minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So, then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. (Rom.8:5-8)
Yesterday, the Person of the Holy Spirit helped us to understand that spirituality is the cure to carnality. And for you to overcome filthiness of the tongue, lying and deceit, cheating, fornication and adultery, and all forms of ungodliness, you must be spiritually minded. Spiritual mindedness is a lifestyle. So whether you are a pastor or a founder of a ministry or you are born again, being spiritually minded is a requirement to walk in the newness of life in Christ Jesus.
For to be carnally minded is DEATH but to be spiritually minded is LIFE and PEACE (Rom.8:6)
From this verse of Scripture, to be carnally minded leads to death and to be spiritually minded leads to life and peace. Signs that you are beginning to be carnal is when your love for the things of God starts to fade away; when your conscience no longer pricks you when you do the wrong thing; when you no longer enjoy prayer time; when you see reading your bible as a burden; and when the spirit of the fear of God is no longer in you. But when you fear the Lord and honour His word above everything else; when you honour God with your service in truth and in spirit; when you pant after righteousness, then you are spiritual.
But how does spirituality bring life and peace to me?
Firstly, you are not afraid of accusations because you know that you have done the perfect will of God as the good and godly man, husband and father. Secondly, you are able to build up your spiritual sensitivity that helps you to discern what is right and what is wrong. And this enables you to take good and godly decisions that will glorify God and bring joy to your life as the man, husband and father. Thirdly, you grow in confidence in God and in His capacity because you know that you are doing His will for your life as the husbandman.
Therefore, for you to revive your spiritual life, you must turn away from sin and ask the Lord Jesus Christ to come into your life and help you get on track to those spiritual works that empower you to think and act according to the Word of God. You must return to your bible and prayerfully study, meditate and act on it day and night (Ps.1:1-3, Jos.1:6-8). You must locate and be a part of a fellowship or service group in your local church (Ps.133:1-3).
Enough of living a carnal life, as the husbandman! It is now time to awake unto righteousness. Do not let satan, sin and the world take you away from the things of the Spirit in Christ Jesus. Now is the time to be spiritual. It is the access to a life of peace for you, as the man, husband and father.
