It is clear that we need to know that there are two types of Christians.
We all call ourselves children of God but there are some who are spiritual and others who are carnal, natural.
And that’s our subject for today.
The carnal man is the part of us that doesn’t want to obey God and his word.
It is the part that is selfish and full of impure desires.
It is the part from which the devil draws his resources to control us.
We can be in church but walk and live according to our own desires.
We are in God’s house to advertise and gain regular customers,
There are also men of God who teach us to prioritise material blessings and to build our faith on vanities.
All this is the flesh.
Living according to the flesh also means believing that success in ministry means having a big church with thousands of members,
being represented in every country and being materially blessed.
To live according to the flesh is to think that those who preach in the villages are less anointed than those who go around the world spreading the good news.
Today the flesh wants to be seen, appreciated, followed on the networks…
The flesh gives us the impression of failure when we are not invited to international conferences.
Too many ministries are interested in the audience of the church, the crowds, the size of the buildings…
they multiply their services, making people believe that it’s for the glory of God, but most of them do it just for competition.
They gather a lot of followers that they are unable to follow and build up,
they’re focused on their projects and their full coffers, and many have become religious.
Living and walking according to the flesh enslaves us,
it produces death,
it makes us a lifeless tree, without leaves, without fruit, whereas Jesus paid the price so that we would be vigorous, green…
Beloved, it is for freedom and righteousness that we have been delivered from the power of sin activated by the flesh.
We must renounce the works of the flesh, we must return to the word of God which will regenerate our lives.
Let the Holy Spirit pour the love of God into our hearts.
We all have an interest in believing what is written in the Scriptures.
We must do everything to please the Lord and live by faith.
Romans, 8:6 – And the affections of the flesh are death, but the affections of the Spirit are life and peace;
Fast and pray to be delivered from every affection of the flesh.
To love and listen to our flesh is to choose to live like a blind man, without direction.
No different from a fool whose life is useless.
Walking according to the Spirit brings serenity, restoration, rest, faithfulness and the peace of mind that we can only find in God.
Good day to you all
Good day to you all
