Text: Gal.5:16-17
But I say, Go on in the Spirit, and you will not come under the rule of the evil desires of the flesh.
17 For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; because these are opposite the one to the other; so that you may not do the things which you have a mind to do.
Memorise: Rom 8:13
For if you go in the way of the flesh, death will come on you; but if by the Spirit you put to death the works of the body, you will have life.
Message;
In the journey of life there are always more than one way to a particular thing, same also is our spiritual life after we become born again.
There are two ways which we must understand and know their ends which will help us to carefully choose the path to walk
The ways are:
1. Ways of the flesh
2. The ways of the spirit.
The two ways are available only to the believers, the unbelievers don't have opportunity to choose they only have one, which is the flesh.but immediately we became bornagain the opportunity to choose is available because the new life we have can only flourish in the new way (Spirit)
Under this teaching we shall look into what it means to walk/live in the spirit and the flesh, the benefits of life in the spirit and rewards of life in the flesh(Canal life).
The new life we have in christ will experience a sudden death no matter how old or young we are in the Lord immediately we walk in the flesh.
It's means the ways of the flesh are very dangerous for us though it may not seem like that physically.
To be continued. ....
Note:
No one lives in flesh can please God,even if such is a pastor,his end is already determined,because The spirit dislike everything that comes from the flesh
Prayer:
Oh Lord deliver me from the influence of the flesh and give me grace to live in the spirit in jésus name.
