Bible Texts: Gen.1:26-28, Gen.3:1-5, Deut.28:1, Ps.51:10, Ps.24:1-2, Philp.2:13, Gal.4:19, 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, 1Cor.15:33
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 step up your spirituality. We understood that carnality is not about being a pastor of your church, founder of your ministry, or even being born again. You can be any of these and yet live a carnal life.
How then do I begin my journey towards minding spiritual things and overcoming the power of the flesh?
Salvation is the first step in your journey to a life of spirituality; hence, if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal saviour, do it now. Today is the day for you to invite Jesus Christ into your life. You must also give yourself to the study of God’s word and pray the word into your life. You must also engage the power of the Holy Ghost through the prayer platform to empower you to live above the force of carnality. You must choose good and godly relationships so that you can be strengthened and encouraged to live a good and godly life. You must belong to a believing church where the word of God is taught with power and conviction.
But what are my profits for being spiritually minded, that is, minding the things of God?
For to be carnally minded is DEATH but to be spiritually minded is LIFE and PEACE (Rom.8:6)
Firstly, you are not afraid of accusations from satan, sin, and the world 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 to discern what is right and what is wrong, hence, you are empowered to make 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 because you know that you are doing His perfect will for your life as the husbandman.
Now is the time for you to awake unto righteousness. Now is the time to be spiritual because it is your access to a life of peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. Do not let satan, sin and the world take you away from the things of the Spirit in Christ Jesus. Be spiritually minded.
Hallelujah!
