PRESENTING YOUR BODIES (FLESH – SENSES) TO GOD: THE EASIEST WAY TO KNOWING GOD’S WILL AND TO TRIUMPH IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!
I do know that every Believers in Christ wants to live triumphantly and experience the EASIEST way to their daily TRIUMPH; also, wants to KNOW THE HOW and OPERATIVE PRINCIPLE, in God’s WILL, for them, in life and grace, without obstructions.
Being a GOSPEL Minister have given me such rare privilege to know relatively, the questions and the feelings of people who struggles day to day to ensure that they are at peace within themselves, especially on matters affecting their personal relationship with God; and in the how they do life with others and in carrying out their daily earthly affairs. Unknown to some, the solution and matters are simple – it’s for you to PRESENT YOUR BODIES AS A LIVING SACRIFICES UNTO GOD.
But How can one present one’s BODIES to God as a living sacrifice? To present your BODIES simply means to hand over your SENSES which makes you BODY-RULED or FLESH-RULED toward God instead of being SPIRIT-RULED or WORD-RULED to Him. The human body is functional by the operation of the FIVE SENSES: These senses are –
** Sight (Seeing),
** Hear (Hearing/Listening),
** Taste (Tasting),
** Feel (Feeling) or Touch (Touching) and
** Smell (Smelling).
These five senses have made and unmade humanity in various shape in what they have become to themselves and relatives to OTHERS intentionally and unintentionally. It’s of these senses that man failed and fall in the first place with God and himself. And many are still in such a great danger in their daily walk with God.
The scriptures enjoined us to WALK by FAITH SENSE – that’s by the WORD SENSE, for FAITH is functional by the WORD, it comes by the WORD and it’s build up by the WORD; hence we should not WALK by SIGHT – SENSE (Five Senses of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and feeling (touching).
More so, FAITH IS SPIRITUAL, and it’s of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, PRESENTING YOUR SENSES TO BE SPIRIT-LED (WORD LED), will ensure EASE and TRIUMPH in knowing and operating in God’s precious – GOOD, SURE, TRUE, ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT (wholesome, mature and complete) WILL for your life and unhindered in the grace wherein you stand in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep under my BODY (SENSES), and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27 (Emphasis Mine)
