ENDEAVOUR TO ‘MORTIFY’ – SUBDUE AND PUT TO DEATH – THE FLESH: ENSURE YOU DO THIS BEFORE YOUR BED TIME – FOR YOUR NEW ASSURED DAY IS COME!
 
“Therefore, brethren, we ARE debtors, not to the FLESH, to LIVE after the FLESH. 13 For if ye LIVE after the FLESH, ye shall DIE: but if ye through the Spirit do MORTIFY THE DEEDS OF THE BODY, ye shall LIVE. 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they ARE the sons of God.” Romans 8:12-14.
 
Until King Uzziah DIED, there was no NEW DAY and HEADWAY for Prophet Isaiah to experience an ONWARD and UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD trajectory and leverage path to thrive, shine and become; and to live meaningfully and purposefully; and to be fulfilled in LIFE and GRACE and MINISTRY in all about God’s BLESSEDNESS concerning him.
 
King Uzziah was a symbol of the FLESH in the WAY and LIFE of Prophet Isaiah in the cause and course of doing life and living godly in God in Christ Jesus stead. The consequence and effect of King Uzziah presence was such, that Prophet Isaiah though a great Prophet by all merits to be and in the making, could not actualised the essence, and to move FORWARD – in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory with God from Chapter One to Chapter Five of his life. But as soon as the [his] FLESH – king Uzziah – died [gives way] in Chapter Six of his life, he was able to witness and experience the three dimensional phase of God’s dealings – an UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD trajectory leverage; and that putting to death of the flesh [king Uzziah] in his path of becoming of God’s purpose in him, changed his LIFE and MINISTRY perception forever – in God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – and that freedom from the flesh held bondage, enables him to BECOME that great Prophet that he was born of God to be in LIFE and GRACE.
 
“In the year that KING UZZIAH DIED I SAW ALSO THE LORD SITTING UPON A THRONE, HIGH AND LIFTED UP, AND HIS TRAIN FILLED THE TEMPLE. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is FULL OF HIS GLORY. 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 THEN SAID I, WOE IS ME! FOR I AM UNDONE; because I am a man of UNCLEAN lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 ALSO I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD, SAYING, WHOM SHALL I SEND, AND WHO WILL GO FOR US? THEN SAID I, HERE AM I; SEND ME. 9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not” Isaiah 6:1-9.
 
Until you MORTIFY, that is, to SUBDUE, to put to DEATH – the act and deeds of the INFLUENCER called the FLESH – which is of what you SEE, FEEL, SMELL, TASTE and HEAR, your actualisation and realisation will be truncated. Sometimes, it could be personality’s and individual’s about you in your life, whose PRESENCE are more of the LOTS OF PROBLEMS that you must intentionally and pragmatically distance yourself from in order to stay focused and be fulfilled with God in life and grace. Until Abraham separated himself from LOT his NEPHEW, Lot was a full loads of problems to him [Genesis 13]. When Lot was at a distance, he became more beneficial to Lot from a distance than having him there and abouts with him in closed proximity. And Abraham thereafter, was able become and actualised the full intent of God in him, and for him and through him in humanity, as to be the father of faith and nations, and by whom all nations of the earth will be blessed of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
We must all know that it’s very difficult to explore, innovate, create and initiate life with God while there’s an influencer – the FLESH, that abounds in us, with us and working and walking about us day to day. For by the DEEDS of the FLESH shall no man be JUSTIFIED or PREVAIL in the sight of God for any reason as to doing life and living in Christ Jesus stead.
 
“Therefore by the DEEDS of the law there shall no flesh be JUSTIFIED in his sight: for by the law is the KNOWLEDGE of sin” Romans 3:20.
 
“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the lust (DEEDS) of the FLESH . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25 (Emphasis Mine).
 
God wants you to experience His leverage in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory of His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUITS for your life, but you must intentionally and pragmatically have a look as Prophet Isaiah did, in the three dimensions of an – UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD – of God’s perception, to make it happen for you. It’s what you do INTENTIONALLY and RESPONSIBLY in order to be ACCOUNTABLE in the PRINCIPLE of grace – wherein to STAND in Christ Jesus stead – UNASHAMED, UNAFRAID and EMBOLDENED – and without sentiments, dissimulation and prejudice in all phases with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
Therefore, WALK in the influence and perception of the WORD of God by the Holy Spirit, you will not fullfil and be influenced by the DESIRE and DEEDS of the FLESH influence in the cause of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
BELOVED FRIEND, ENDEAVOUR TO ‘MORTIFY’ – SUBDUE AND PUT TO DEATH – THE FLESH – ENSURE YOU DO THIS BEFORE YOUR BED TIME – FOR YOUR NEW DAY IS COME IN GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“In the year that KING UZZIAH DIED I SAW ALSO THE LORD SITTING UPON A THRONE, HIGH AND LIFTED UP, AND HIS TRAIN FILLED THE TEMPLE. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 THEN SAID I, WOE IS ME! FOR I AM UNDONE; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 ALSO I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD, SAYING, WHOM SHALL I SEND, AND WHO WILL GO FOR US? THEN SAID I, HERE AM I; SEND ME. 9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not” Isaiah 6:1-9.
 
“Therefore by the DEEDS of the law there shall no flesh be JUSTIFIED in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin” Romans 3:20.
 
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the FLESH, to LIVE after the FLESH. 13 For if ye live after the FLESH, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do MORTIFY THE DEEDS OF THE BODY, ye shall LIVE. 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:12-14.
 
“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the lust (DEEDS) of the FLESH . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25 (Emphasis Mine).

DO YOU DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD

DO YOU DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD: WALK BY FAITH – LIVE AND WALK IN THE SPIRIT – AND BY THE WORD!
 
“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall NOT FULFIL the LUST of the FLESH . . . 24 And they that ARE Christ’s have CRUCIFIED [PUT TO DEATH] the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.
 
I know to what extent most of us are driven in the Christian Faith to DO lots and loads in the name of PLEASING (and wanting to PLEASE) God. And yet NEVER enough, because it’s not by POWER and not by MIGHT but by my Spirit says the LORD as it’s written:
 
“Then he answered and SPAKE unto me, saying, This is the WORD of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by MIGHT, nor by POWER, but by MY SPIRIT, saith the Lord of hosts” Zechariah 4:6.
 
And PLEASING God by His Spirit comes through by the WORD. Hence, it’s not enough when some of us let go of our precious TIME, FINANCE, MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT/DEVICE] and EFFORT [Physical and or Mental Exertion] to ensure that the CAUSE and CAUSES of God and humanity are doing great, and are yet found questionable. This is simply because our precious TIME, FINANCE, MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT/DEVICE] and EFFORT [Physical and or Mental Exertion] may not have been invested and done SCRIPTURALLY by the WORD in CONTEXT to justify one as to the path of PLEASING of God.
 
“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.
 
Honestly, why all our efforts may seems good in our own eyes, the question and examination for us is to ask and take on is if the efforts we are exerting to accomplish anything whatever are of – the GOOD, the ACCEPTABLE and the PERFECT WILL of God as enjoined in the scripture of Romans 12:1-2? And we mustn’t forget that God’s WILL is His WORD and in His WORD only. And while God must have EXALTED and LIFTED UP His WORD and His NAME, He has however MAGNIFIED His WORD ABOVE His NAME in order to ensure, assure and authenticate the immutability of His person and character in His grace, in the faith for us, and in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead.
 
“I will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; FOR YOU HAVE EXALTED ABOVE ALL ELSE YOUR NAME AND YOUR WORD AND YOU HAVE MAGNIFIED YOUR WORD ABOVE ALL YOUR NAME!” Psalms 138:2/Amplified Classic Edition.
 
“Wherein God, WILLING more abundantly to SHEW unto the HEIRS of promise the IMMUTABILITY of His counsel, CONFIRMED it by an oath: 18 that by TWO IMMUTABLE THINGS [HIS WORD AND HIS NAME], in which it was IMPOSSIBLE for God to lie, we might have a STRONG CONSOLATION, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 19 which HOPE we have as an ANCHOR of the soul, both SURE and STEDFAST, and which ENTERETH into that within the veil; 20 whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, MADE an HIGH PRIEST for EVER after the order of Melchisedec” Hebrews 6:17-20.
 
And with the context of His IMMUTABILITY, we can then ask ourselves if our ACTS of DOING what we DO really PLEASE God in the context of Hebrews 11:6 and Romans 12:1-2.
 
Therefore, what then is the ACTS to PLEASE God if someone may ask. HEREIN ARE TWO PRINCIPLES TO KNOW but not limited:
 
THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 1:
 
Spend your most precious time on what God IS and has BECOME to you rather than what you think or conceived or intend that the enemy and cohorts ARE or DOING or capable of doing. More of God, while Less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS applause. [Philemon 1:6; Jeremiah 29:11; Philemon 1:6].
The foremost and great ACT about PLEASING God is that you spent little or no energy at all on the enemy and cohorts presence irrespective, if you think you have one in labelled; for God will causes them to be at PEACE with you when your time is spent on God’s presence as primarily as in His WORD on any context [Matthew 6:33; Psalms 16:11]. And God in His own terms, will makes the enemy and cohorts to WORK for your good instead of been at WAR with you [Proverbs 16:7].
 
DON’T YOU LIKE THAT? DON’T YOU WANT GOD TO BE IN CHARGE TO FIGHT YOUR FAITH OF FAITH INSTEAD OF YOU? [1 Timothy 6:12; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; Joshua 5:13-15].
 
As for me, because I Do LOVE and have faith in trust of God to take care of the ENEMY and COHORTS, I won’t burn my time on the enemy and cohorts; instead, I burn my all PLEASING God in spirit and in truth. That’s the realm of living in an effortless position, and to keep one at ease in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus, even in the midst of diverse challenges and obstacles in cause of living under the heavens in the earth.
 
Having less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS attention and MORE of God is not the gracious and graceful thing to do when having or in the midst of a mental, physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual TORTURE of the known and unknown enemy (enemies) and cohorts. More so, it’s not about having an ENDLESS meetings of prayer and fasting cum night vigils, instead of spending such gracious moments in PLEASING God by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on that circumstantial while He takes care of that ENEMY and COHORTS department for you as enjoined in the Scripture of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6.
 
This is what I enjoy doing – PLEASING GOD by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on any subject matter that confronts me; and that’s what I want you to know and enjoy likewise in Christ Jesus. Hence no more enemy (enemies) and cohorts WORRIES, ANXIOUSNESS and CONSCIOUSNESS to keep me in fear phobia when I am at PEACE with God. That is the PATH OF LIFE I follow, to have COMMUNION, which is the FELLOWSHIP that enhances RELATIONSHIP with God. It SAVES me from ERRORS and SELF AFFLICTION and IGNORANCE in dealing with matters of life in my GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead – Psalms 16:11; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28. Matthew 22:29; Acts 17:30-31.
 
THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 2:
 
“Spend your synergy to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by your spirit and not in the FLESH – SENSES”. Galatians 5:25.
 
To LIVE and WALK in the Spirit is another ACT you MUST know and start DOING while you stop right now living and walking in the flesh – by your SENSES, if you MUST PLEASE God in order to enjoy the scriptural rights and privileges of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6, in conjunction with the enjoined Scriptures of Romans 8:1-4, 8.
 
Romans 8:1-4, 8 states that those who are – that is, LIVE and WALK in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God. What then does it mean to LIVE and WALK in the FLESH? It means to live and walk in your FIVE SENSES directives in opposition to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY with God in SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT. And herein, are what the FLESH (SENSES) segments consists of:
1. Hearing (Hear)
2. Seeing (See)
3. Smelling (Smell)
4. Tasting (Taste)
5. Feeling/Touching (Feel/Touch)
 
People who live and walks by the indulgence and guidance of their FIVE SENSES satisfies the lusts and affections of the flesh. And such CANNOT PLEASE God no matter what their intents are. For by the DEEDS of the FLESH shall no man LIVE, PREVAIL and be JUSTIFIED before God as says the Scripture – Romans 3:20; Romans 8:13, 28-30.
 
They are always CONSEQUENCES and EFFECTS of living and walking in the FLESH – five senses. Therefore, DON’T BE A SENSE-RULED or BODY-RULED BELIEVER – if you must PLEASE God. Let your SENSES be sensitized by God’s WORD as Hebrews 5:14 enjoined.
 
And if you feel Otherwise you can ASK:
 
EVE of Genesis about the effect of the sight (to behold of the eyes) of the fruit in the garden of Eden;
 
ESAU about the smell and taste of porridge that cause his lost of his birthright to of his brother – JACOB;
 
King SAUL of losing his throne towards harkening his ear in hearing and listening to the voice of the people in making sacrifice ahead of Prophet SAMUEL arrival and instructions;
 
Prophet SAMUEL about tying to anoint ELIAB as a King instead of DAVID by sight in JESSE’S house and God’s rebuke in his trying to do so;
 
King DAVID about the death of a non LEVITE who touched the ARK to help carry it against divine process;
 
Yourself of other such like SENSE ACTS in the Holy Writ not mentioned.
 
HOW THEN DO WE PLEASE GOD IN ESSENCE:
 
The Scripture of Hebrews 11:6 says that WITHOUT an ACT of FAITH we CANNOT PLEASE GOD. Really? YES! Faith is ACTING accordingly on what you BELIEVE on GOD’S WORD in context. It thus means FAITH is of God’s WORD. Meaning No WORD – No FAITH, for FAITH comes by the WORD – Romans 10:17, Hebrews 11:1-3.
 
The WORD of God is spiritual, victorious and triumphant in everyway in every cause. Meaning FAITH is spiritual, victorious and triumphant – 1 John 5:3-5, 2 Corinthians 2:14. Then to exercise FAITH life in order to PLEASE GOD, one needs to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit. Only by the Holy Spirit CAN one ONLY live FAR ABOVE the lusts and affections of the flesh – SENSES. Galatians 5:24-25.
 
Living by the SPIRIT is living by the WORD of God. When you develop a living in the Spirit by your spirit consciousness, then can you LIVE and WALK in the SPIRIT by your spirit consciousness.
Do you know and understands what it means to live in the Spirit by your spirit-consciousness to enhance your Spirit Walk by your spirit-consciousness? If you don’t, the FLESH – SENSE living will keep you at WAR in your being as the Scripture enjoins in Galatians 5:16, 24 and James 4:1-3.
 
Therefore, if you must PLEASE God – then LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by the WORD OF GOD through FAITH. For we WALK by FAITH SENSE and not by SIGHT – FLESH SENSE – 2 Corinthians 5:7. And anything done outside FAITH ACTS is Sin, so enjoined the scripture of Romans 14:23. Sin then means UNBELIEVE toward God in Christ Jesus stead. That is, for any not to BELIEVE on God’s WORD as it is and ACT accordingly in Christ Jesus stead.
 
If you wants and must PLEASE GOD, LIVE and WALK in the Spirit and not in your SENSES that you might access God’s PEACE even in the midst of your acclaimed enemy (enemies) and cohorts (More on this is in my later upcoming Book – “Being Divinely Led Of God”).
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“That the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING OF EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.
 
“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he maketh even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.
 
“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.
 
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who WALK not after the FLESH, but after the Spirit . . . 8 So then they that are in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God” Romans 8:1-8.
 
“. . . 3 Through FAITH we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6.
 
“From whence come WARS AND FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your members? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and CANNOT OBTAIN: ye FIGHT AND WAR, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your LUST” James 4:1-3.

PRESENTING YOUR BODIES (FLESH – SENSES) TO GOD

By Leave a Comment

PRESENTING YOUR BODIES (FLESH – SENSES) TO GOD: THE EASIEST WAY TO KNOWING GOD’S WILL AND TO TRIUMPH IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the LUST of the FLESH . . . 24  And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH (SENSUAL) with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25 (Emphasis Mine).

I do know that every Believers in Christ wants to live triumphantly and experience the EASIEST way to their daily TRIUMPH and to be A MORE THAN CONQUERORS, OVERCOMER and VICTORIOUS (2 Corinthians 2:14; Romans 8:37; 1 John 5:4-5; 1 Corinthians 15:57); also, everyone in Christ Jesus stead wants to KNOW THE HOW and OPERATIVE PRINCIPLE in God’s WILL, for them, as they do life and live in grace, without obstructions.

Being a GOSPEL Minister have given me such a rare privilege to know relatively, the questions and the feelings of people who struggles day to day, in order 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 toward 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.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye PRESENT YOUR BODIES (SENSES) a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may PROVE what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, WILL of God” Romans 12:1-2 (Emphasis Mine).

“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)

“For we WALK by FAITH, not by SIGHT (SENSES)” 2 Corinthians 5:7 (Emphasis Mine)

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the LUST of the FLESH . . . 24  And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH (SENSUAL) with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25 (Emphasis Mine).

“LOVE not THE WORLD, neither THE THINGS that ARE in THE WORLD. If any man LOVE THE WORLD, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in THE WORLD, THE LUST OF THE FLESH, and THE LUST OF THE EYES, and THE PRIDE OF LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of THE WORLD. 17 And THE WORLD passeth away, and THE LUST thereof: but he that DOETH the WILL of God ABIDETH for ever” 1 John 2:15-17.

“From whence come WARS and FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your members? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye KILL, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye FIGHT and WAR, yet ye have not, because ye ASK not. 3 Ye ASK, and RECEIVE not, because ye ASK amiss, that ye may CONSUME it upon your LUSTS. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the FRIENDSHIP of the world is ENMITY with God? whosoever therefore will be a FRIEND of the world is the ENEMY of God. 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us LUSTETH to ENVY? 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God RESISTETH the PROUD, but GIVETH GRACE unto the HUMBLE. 7 SUBMIT yourselves therefore to God. RESIST the devil, and he will FLEE from you. 8 Draw NIGH to God, and he will draw NIGH to you. CLEANSE your hands, ye sinners; and PURIFY your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 HUMBLE yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall LIFT you up” James 4:1-10.

Further Scriptural Reading: 1 Corinthians 2:11-16; 1 Corinthians 3:1-3; Romans 8:14-16; Luke 4:1-13; Genesis 3; Romans 10:17; Habakkuk 2:4 (Romans 1:17; Hebrews 10:38; Galatians 3:11).

ENDEAVOUR TO ‘MORTIFY’ – SUBDUE AND PUT TO DEATH – THE FLESH

By Leave a Comment

ENDEAVOUR TO ‘MORTIFY’ – SUBDUE AND PUT TO DEATH – THE FLESH: ENSURE YOU DO THIS BEFORE YOUR BED TIME – FOR YOUR NEW ASSURED DAY IS COME!

“Therefore, brethren, we ARE debtors, not to the FLESH, to LIVE after the FLESH. 13 For if ye LIVE after the FLESH, ye shall DIE: but if ye through the Spirit do MORTIFY THE DEEDS OF THE BODY, ye shall LIVE. 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they ARE the sons of God.” Romans 8:12-14.

Until King Uzziah DIED, there was no NEW DAY and HEADWAY for Prophet Isaiah to experience an ONWARD and UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD trajectory and leverage path to thrive, shine and become; and to live meaningfully and purposefully; and to be fulfilled in LIFE and GRACE and MINISTRY in all about God’s BLESSEDNESS concerning him.

King Uzziah was a symbol of the FLESH in the WAY and LIFE of Prophet Isaiah in the cause and course of doing life and living godly in God in Christ Jesus stead. The consequence and effect of  King Uzziah presence was such, that Prophet Isaiah though a great Prophet by all merits to be and in the making, could not actualised the essence, and to move FORWARD – in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory with God from Chapter One to Chapter Five  of his life. But as soon as the [his] FLESH – king Uzziah – died [gives way] in Chapter Six of his life, he was able to witness and experience the three dimensional phase of God’s dealings – an UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD trajectory leverage; and that putting to death of the flesh [king Uzziah] in his path of becoming of God’s purpose in him, changed his LIFE and MINISTRY perception forever – in God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – and that freedom from the flesh held bondage, enables him to BECOME that great Prophet that he was born of God to be in LIFE and GRACE.

“In the year that KING UZZIAH DIED I SAW ALSO THE LORD SITTING UPON A THRONE, HIGH AND LIFTED UP, AND HIS TRAIN FILLED THE TEMPLE. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is FULL OF HIS GLORY. 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 THEN SAID I, WOE IS ME! FOR I AM UNDONE; because I am a man of UNCLEAN lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 ALSO I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD, SAYING, WHOM SHALL I SEND, AND WHO WILL GO FOR US? THEN SAID I, HERE AM I; SEND ME. 9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not” Isaiah 6:1-9.

Until you MORTIFY, that is, to SUBDUE, to put to DEATH – the act and deeds of the influencer called the FLESH – which is of what you SEE, FEEL, SMELL, TASTE and HEAR. Sometimes, it could be personality’s and individual’s about you in your life, whose PRESENCE are more of the lots of problems that  you must intentionally and pragmatically distance yourself from in order to stay focused and be fulfilled with God in life and grace. Until Abraham separated himself from Lot his nephew, Lot was a full loads of problems to him [Genesis 13]. He was more beneficial to Lot from a distance than having  him thereabouts with him if he must become the full intent of God in him for him and through him in humanity as to be the father of faith and by whom all nations of the earth will be blessed of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

We must all know that it’s very difficult to explore, innovate, create and initiate life with God while there’s an influencer – the FLESH, that abounds in us, with us and working and walking about us day to day. For by the DEEDS of the FLESH shall no man be JUSTIFIED or PREVAIL in the sight of God for any reason as to doing life and living in  Christ Jesus stead.

“Therefore by the DEEDS of the law there shall no flesh be JUSTIFIED in his sight: for by the law is the KNOWLEDGE of sin” Romans 3:20.

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the lust (DEEDS) of the FLESH . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25 (Emphasis Mine).

God wants you to experience His leverage inn an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory of His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUITS for your life, but you must intentionally and pragmatically have a look as Prophet Isaiah did, in the three dimensions of an – UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD – of God’s perception, to make it happen for you. It’s what you do INTENTIONALLY and RESPONSIBLY in order to be ACCOUNTABLE in the PRINCIPLE of grace – wherein to STAND in Christ Jesus stead – UNASHAMED, UNAFRAID and EMBOLDENED – and without sentiments, dissimulation and prejudice in all phases with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, WALK in the influence and perception of the WORD of God by the Holy Spirit, you will not fullfil and be influenced by the DESIRE and DEEDS of the FLESH influence in the cause of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

BELOVED FRIEND, ENDEAVOUR TO ‘MORTIFY’ – SUBDUE AND PUT TO DEATH – THE FLESH – ENSURE YOU DO THIS BEFORE YOUR BED TIME – FOR YOUR NEW DAY IS COME IN GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“In the year that KING UZZIAH DIED I SAW ALSO THE LORD SITTING UPON A THRONE, HIGH AND LIFTED UP, AND HIS TRAIN FILLED THE TEMPLE. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 THEN SAID I, WOE IS ME! FOR I AM UNDONE; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 ALSO I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD, SAYING, WHOM SHALL I SEND, AND WHO WILL GO FOR US? THEN SAID I, HERE AM I; SEND ME. 9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not” Isaiah 6:1-9.

“Therefore by the DEEDS of the law there shall no flesh be JUSTIFIED in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin” Romans 3:20.

‘Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the FLESH, to LIVE after the FLESH. 13 For if ye live after the FLESH, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do MORTIFY THE DEEDS OF THE BODY, ye shall LIVE. 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:12-14.

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the lust (DEEDS) of the FLESH . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25 (Emphasis Mine).

DO YOU DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD?

DO YOU DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD: WALK BY FAITH – LIVE AND WALK IN THE SPIRIT BY THE WORD!

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.

I know to what extent most of us are driven in the Christian Faith to DO lots and loads in the name of PLEASING (and wanting to PLEASE) God. And yet NEVER enough, because it’s not by POWER and not by MIGHT but by my Spirit says the LORD as it’s written:

“Then he answered and SPAKE unto me, saying, This is the WORD of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by MIGHT, nor by POWER, but by MY SPIRIT, saith the Lord of hosts” Zechariah 4:6.

And PLEASING God by His Spirit comes through by the WORD. Hence, it’s not enough when some of us let go our precious TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT EXERTION (Physical & Mental) to ensure that the CAUSE and CAUSES of God and humanity are doing great, and are yet found questionable. This is simply because our precious TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT EXERTION (Physical & Mental) may not have been invested and done SCRIPTURALLY by the WORD in CONTEXT to justify one as to the PLEASING of God.

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

Honestly, why all our efforts may seems good in our own eyes, but are they – the GOOD, ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT WILL of God? Romans 12:1-2. And we mustn’t forget that His WILL is His WORD and in His WORD only. Then we can ask ourselves if our ACTS of DOING what we DO really PLEASE God?

What then is the ACTS to PLEASE God if someone may ask.  HEREIN ARE TWO PRINCIPLES TO KNOW:

** THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 1:

Spend your most precious time on what God IS to you rather than what you think or conceived or intend that the enemy and cohorts ARE or DOING or capable of doing. More of God and Less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS. Philemon 1:6.

The foremost and great ACT about PLEASING God is that you spent little or no energy at all on your enemy and or enemies if you think you have one; for God will causes them to be at PEACE with you when your time is spent on God primarily as in His WORD on any context. In my own terms, He makes them to WORK for your good instead of been at WAR with you – Proverbs 16:7. DON’T YOU LIKE THAT? Because I Do LOVE God to take care of the ENEMY and COHORTS while I burn my time instead, PLEASING Him. That’s effortless and keeps one at ease in LIFE and GODLY LIVING even in the MIDST of challenges and obstacles in our circumstances.

Having less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS attention and MORE of God is not the gracious and graceful thing to do when having or in the midst of a mental, physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual TORTURE of the known and unknown enemy (enemies) and cohorts. More so, it’s not about having an ENDLESS meetings of prayer and fasting cum night vigils, instead of spending such gracious moments in PLEASING God by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on that circumstantial while He takes care of that ENEMY and COHORTS department for you as enjoined in the Scripture of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6.

This is what I enjoy doing – PLEASING GOD by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on any subject matters that confronts me; and that’s what I wants you to know and enjoy likewise in Christ Jesus. Hence no more enemy (enemies) and cohorts l WORRIES, ANXIOUSNESS and CONSCIOUSNESS to keep me in fear phobias when I am at PEACE with God. That is the PATH OF LIFE I follow, to have COMMUNION, which is the FELLOWSHIP that enhances RELATIONSHIP with God. It SAVES me from ERRORS and SELF AFFLICTION and IGNORANCE in dealing with matters of life in my GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead – Psalms 16:11; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28. Matthew 22:29; Acts 17:30-31.

** THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 2:

“Spend your synergy to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by your spirit and not in the FLESH – SENSES”. Galatians 5:25.

To LIVE and WALK in the Spirit is another ACT you MUST know and start DOING while you stop right now living and walking in the flesh – by your SENSES, if you MUST PLEASE God in order to enjoy the scriptural rights and privileges of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6, in conjunction with the enjoined Scriptures of Romans 8:1-4, 8.

Romans 8:1-4, 8 states that those who are – that is, LIVE and WALK in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God. What then does it mean to LIVE and WALK in the FLESH? It means to live and walk in your FIVE SENSES directives in opposition to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY with God in SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT. And herein, are what the FLESH (SENSES) segments consists of:

** Hearing (Hear)

** Seeing (See)

** Smelling (Smell)

** Tasting (Taste)

** Feeling/Touching (Feel/Touch)

People who live and walks by the indulgence and guidance of their FIVE SENSES satisfies the lusts and affections of the flesh. And such CANNOT PLEASE God no matter what their intents are. For by the DEEDS of the FLESH shall no man LIVE,  PREVAIL and be JUSTIFIED before God as says the Scripture – Romans 3:20; Romans 8:13, 28-30.

They are always CONSEQUENCES and EFFECTS of living and walking in the FLESH – five senses. Therefore, DON’T BE A SENSE-RULED or BODY-RULED BELIEVER – if you must PLEASE God. Let your SENSES be sensitized by God’s WORD as Hebrews 5:14 enjoined.

And if you feel Otherwise you can ASK:

*** EVE of Genesis about the effect of the sight (to behold of the eyes) of the fruit in the garden of Eden;

*** ESAU about the smell and taste of porridge that cause his lost to his birthright because of his brother’s – JACOB – porridge;

*** King SAUL of losing his throne towards the harkening his ear in hearing and listening to the voice of the people in making sacrifice ahead of Prophet SAMUEL arrival and instructions;

*** Prophet SAMUEL about tying to anoint ELIAB as a King instead of DAVID by sight in JESSE’S house and God’s rebuke in his trying to do so;

*** King DAVID about the death of a non LEVITE’S who touch the ARK to help carry it against divine process;

*** Yourself of other such like SENSE ACTS in the Holy Writ not mentioned.

HOW THEN DO WE PLEASE GOD IN ESSENCE:

The Scripture of Hebrews 11:6 says that WITHOUT an ACT of FAITH we CANNOT PLEASE GOD. Really? YES! Faith is ACTING accordingly on what you BELIEVE on GOD’S WORD in context. It thus means FAITH is of God’s WORD. Meaning No WORD – No FAITH, for FAITH comes by the WORD – Romans 10:17, Hebrews 11:1-3.

The WORD of God is spiritual, victorious and triumphant in everyway in every cause. Meaning FAITH is spiritual, victorious and triumphant – 1 John 5:3-5, 2 Corinthians 2:14. Then to exercise FAITH life in order to PLEASE GOD, one needs to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit. Only by the Holy Spirit CAN one ONLY live FAR ABOVE the lusts and affections of the flesh – SENSES. Galatians 5:24-25.

Living by the SPIRIT is living by the WORD of God. When you develop a living in the Spirit by your spirit consciousness, then can you LIVE and WALK in the SPIRIT by your spirit consciousness.

Do you know and understands what it means to live in the Spirit by your spirit-consciousness to enhance your Spirit Walk by your spirit-consciousness? If you don’t, the FLESH – SENSE living will keep you at WAR in your being as the Scripture enjoins in Galatians 5:16, 24 and James 4:1-3.

Therefore, if you must PLEASE God – then LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by the WORD OF GOD through FAITH. For we WALK by FAITH SENSE and not by SIGHT – FLESH SENSE – 2 Corinthians 5:7. And anything done outside FAITH ACTS is Sin, so enjoined the scripture of Romans 14:23. Sin then means UNBELIEVE toward God in Christ Jesus stead. That is, for any not to BELIEVE on God’s WORD as it is and ACT accordingly in Christ Jesus stead.

If you wants and must PLEASE GOD, LIVE and WALK in the Spirit and not in your SENSES that you might access God’s PEACE even in the midst of your acclaimed enemy (enemies) and cohorts (More on this is in my later upcoming Book – “Being Divinely Led Of God”).

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“That the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING OF EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he maketh even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who WALK not after the FLESH, but after the Spirit . . . 8 So then they that are in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God” Romans 8:1-8.

“. . . 3 Through FAITH we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6.

“From whence come WARS AND FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your members? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and CANNOT OBTAIN: ye FIGHT AND WAR, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your LUST” James 4:1-3.

PLEASING GOD IN November 2018: By The 6th Sense – More Than Just Common Sense!

The common sense is the sense wherein the FLESH detects life goals – meaning the operating realm of the five senses – See, hear, feel, taste and smell.

This realm of the five senses can’t and does not PLEASE God. PLEASING God unfolds the manifold promised intent of God for an individual and His people – the Believers in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Do you love to PLEASE God? Then switch over to the 6TH SENSE, the realm of FAITH revelation by the Holy Spirit built on the revealed WORD of God. You can’t miss pleasing God in this REALM. A realm wherein all the heavenly stored promised blessing of God are made manifest and operative to meet the expected and intended – Plan, Purpose and Pursuit – for your predestined life and godly living.

God REWARDS His people through the 6th Sense via the human spirit on the Holy Spirit inspired, revealed and empowered WORD. Switch To The 6th Sense If You Intend PLEASING God!

Therefore SELAH – PAUSE, THINK & PONDER and then SWITCH over my friend!

“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. 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the CARNAL (FLESHY) mind is ENMITY against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh (Five Senses) CANNOT PLEASE God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his” Romans 8:5-9 (Emphasis Mine).

“But without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

WELCOME To Month NOVEMBER 2018 – It’s Themed: The Sixth Sense

By Leave a Comment

WELCOME To Month NOVEMBER 2018 – It’s Themed: The Sixth Sense – More Than Just Common Sense!

It’s our month of appropriating and enacting the acts of LIFE and GODLY LIVING by – The Sixth Sense – More Than Just Common Sense!

It’s Your time for the SIXTH SENSE, the sense beyond the COMMON SENSE of the – Five Senses: Seeing, Hearing, Touching/Feeling, Tasting and Smelling.

The SIXTH SENSE is the FAITH SENSE – The mystery Sense held in pure conscience by the Holy Spirit of mystery and Revelation as it’s written: “Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a pure conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9.

We need to Do LIFE and Live GODLY by SIXTH SENSE in order to APPROPRIATE and ENACT in essence the FULNESS of the BLESSEDNESS in the HEAVENLY PLACES made available for us on EARTHLY COMMISSION and INTENT, in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ: 4 according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will . . . 11 in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:3-12.

“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 FOR BY IT the elders OBTAINED a good report. 3 Through FAITH we understand that the WORLDS were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear” Hebrews 11:1-3.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the WORLD: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his divine power hath given unto us ALL THINGS that PERTAIN unto LIFE and GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:3-5.

PRESENTING YOUR BODIES (FLESH – SENSES) TO GOD

By Leave a Comment

PRESENTING YOUR BODIES (FLESH – SENSES) TO GOD: THE EASIEST WAY TO KNOWING GOD’S WILL AND TO TRIUMPH IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the LUST of the FLESH . . . 24  And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH (SENSUAL) with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25 (Emphasis Mine).

I do know that every Believers in Christ wants to live triumphantly and experience the EASIEST way to their daily TRIUMPH and to be A MORE THAN CONQUERORS, OVERCOMER and VICTORIOUS (2 Corinthians 2:14; Romans 8:37; 1 John 5:4-5; 1 Corinthians 15:57); also, everyone in Christ Jesus stead wants to KNOW THE HOW and OPERATIVE PRINCIPLE in God’s WILL, for them, as they do life and live in grace, without obstructions.

Being a GOSPEL Minister have given me such a rare privilege to know relatively, the questions and the feelings of people who struggles day to day, in order 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 toward 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 beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye PRESENT YOUR BODIES (SENSES) a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may PROVE what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, WILL of God” Romans 12:1-2 (Emphasis Mine).

“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)

“LOVE not THE WORLD, neither THE THINGS that ARE in THE WORLD. If any man LOVE THE WORLD, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in THE WORLD, THE LUST OF THE FLESH, and THE LUST OF THE EYES, and THE PRIDE OF LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of THE WORLD. 17 And THE WORLD passeth away, and THE LUST thereof: but he that DOETH the WILL of God ABIDETH for ever” 1 John 2:15-17.

“From whence come WARS and FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your members? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye KILL, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye FIGHT and WAR, yet ye have not, because ye ASK not. 3 Ye ASK, and RECEIVE not, because ye ASK amiss, that ye may CONSUME it upon your LUSTS. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the FRIENDSHIP of the world is ENMITY with God? whosoever therefore will be a FRIEND of the world is the ENEMY of God. 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us LUSTETH to ENVY? 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God RESISTETH the PROUD, but GIVETH GRACE unto the HUMBLE. 7 SUBMIT yourselves therefore to God. RESIST the devil, and he will FLEE from you. 8 Draw NIGH to God, and he will draw NIGH to you. CLEANSE your hands, ye sinners; and PURIFY your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 HUMBLE yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall LIFT you up” James 4:1-10.

ENDEAVOUR TO ‘MORTIFY’ – SUBDUE AND PUT THE FLESH TO DEATH

By Leave a Comment

ENDEAVOUR TO ‘MORTIFY’ – SUBDUE AND PUT THE FLESH TO DEATH: BEFORE YOUR BEDTIME – FOR YOUR NEW DAY IS COME!

‘Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the FLESH, to LIVE after the FLESH. 13 For if ye live after the FLESH, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do MORTIFY THE DEEDS OF THE BODY, ye shall LIVE. 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:12-14.

Until King Uzziah DIED, there was no NEW DAY and HEADWAY for Prophet Isaiah to experience an ONWARD and UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD trajectory path to thrive, shine and become; and to live meaningfully and purposefully; and to be fulfilled in LIFE and GRACE – Ministry.

King Uzziah was a symbol of the FLESH in the WAY of Prophet Isaiah in doing life and living godly in God in Christ Jesus stead. The consequence and effect King Uzziah presence was that Prophet Isaiah though a great Prophet to be and in the making, could not move FORWARD – ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory with God from Chapter One to Chapter Five. But as soon as his flesh – king Uzziah – gives way in Chapter Six, he was able to witness and experience the three dimensional phase of God’s dealings – an UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD trajectories; and that change his LIFE and MINISTRY perception forever – in God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – which enabled him to become that great Prophet that he was born of God to be in LIFE and GRACE.

Until you MORTIFY, that is, to SUBDUE, to put to DEATH – the act and deeds of the influencer called the FLESH – which is of what you SEE, FEEL, SMELL, TASTE and HEAR. For, it will be difficult to explore, innovate, create and initiate life with God while the influencer – the FLESH abounds. For by the DEEDS of the FLESH shall no man be JUSTIFIED or PREVAIL in the sight of God.

“Therefore by the DEEDS of the law there shall no flesh be JUSTIFIED in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin” Romans 3:20.

God wants you to experience His ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUITS for your life, but you must have a look as Prophet Isaiah in the three dimensions of an – UPWARD, INWARD AND OUTWARD – of God’s perception, to make it happen for you. It’s what you do INTENTIONALLY and RESPONSIBLY in order to be ACCOUNTABLE in the PRINCIPLE of grace – wherein to STAND in Christ Jesus stead – UNASHAMED, UNAFRAID and EMBOLDENED – and without sentiments, dissimulation and prejudice in all phases with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, WALK in the influence and perception of the WORD of God by the Holy Spirit, you will not fullfil and be influenced by the DESIRE and DEEDS of the FLESH influence in the cause of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“In the year that KING UZZIAH DIED I SAW ALSO THE LORD SITTING UPON A THRONE, HIGH AND LIFTED UP, AND HIS TRAIN FILLED THE TEMPLE. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 THEN SAID I, WOE IS ME! FOR I AM UNDONE; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 ALSO I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD, SAYING, WHOM SHALL I SEND, AND WHO WILL GO FOR US? THEN SAID I, HERE AM I; SEND ME. 9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not” Isaiah 6:1-9.

“Therefore by the DEEDS of the law there shall no flesh be JUSTIFIED in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin” Romans 3:20.

‘Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the FLESH, to LIVE after the FLESH. 13 For if ye live after the FLESH, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do MORTIFY THE DEEDS OF THE BODY, ye shall LIVE. 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:12-14.

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the lust (DEEDS) of the FLESH . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25 (Emphasis Mine).
