Leaving the Carnal Way

DATE - June 22nd, 2022

TOPIC - Leaving the Carnal Way

BIBLE TEXT - 1 Corinthians 3:3-5 KJV
[3] For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? 
[4] For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? 
[5] Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?



As children of God we should be kingdom minded by putting our hearts to doing the will of God and our minds to knowing and understanding God's Word. In ancient times, many years ago several things which usually happened to the gentiles (unbelievers) started reflecting in the church. The works of the flesh (Galatians 5:17-21) became eminent, things such as envying, unnecessary struggling and quarrels, divisions and segregations were seen right in the church. 

Paul the Apostle of Christ saw these corruption that pollutes the way of truth and taught the people of God the truth of fellowship and followership. Only carnal people (worldly minded) will harbor things and bottle offences or pick unsettling offences against a fellow child of God and yet claim to be born of Christ Jesus. This is a canker in the body of Christ Jesus today. Many individuals in the church circle are deceiving themselves by the fake Christian Life they exhibit.

Leave the carnal way, Apostle Paul and every true Minister of God today is saying via the truth of Christ. John 14:30 KJV - "Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me." Can we say this same statement right now without having the guilt of our carnality? Our corrupted hearts? Our backbiting? Slandering, gossiping, unforgiving hearts, fights and quarrels with the brethren & unbelievers, our corrupted conversation, our secret deeds of darkness? Can we boldly say we have no product of Satan within and that righteousness as a flame burns within? Think on this very carefully.

The Holy Spirit is the best one to help us live a righteous life after we turn away from our wicked ways. Repent this morning and be determined never to let the ways of this world to corrupt the temple of the living God.





PRAYER 
Heavenly Father, I confess my sins (State them as you can remember & cleanse your hearts from sinful thoughts against fellow members and neighbors).. I am sorry for staining your temple Which is my body. Lord I repent today, and I leave the carnal way. I choose your words in Matthew 6:33 and I surrender all to led by the Spirit of Christ. Amen

INSIGHT
Jesus Christ is the way out of carnality because He overcame what we are still struggling with. Surrender all to Him.

DO TI NOW

May 11th – Capsule 11 TOPIC : DO IT NOW BIBLE TEXT : Redeeming the time, because the days are evil – Ephesians 5 vs. 16 How many times have you said, “I will do it tomorrow?” sometimes you put somethings off because you don’t think you know enough, can’t do it well enough. The fact is, there is no magic age at which excellence emerges and quality suddenly surfaces. Thomas Jefferson was 33 when he drafted the Declaration of Independence. Charles Dickens was 24 when he began his Pickwick Papers, and 25 when he wrote Oliver Twist. Newton was 24 when he formulated The Law of Gravity. A second danger is to think that creativity and invention belong to the young. Not so! Emmanuel Kant wrote his finest philosophical work at age 74. Verdi at 80 produced crossing the Bar, and Michelangelo completed his greatest work at 87, Moses was 80 when he led God’s people out of Egypt and 120 when he got to Canaan. Seize the day! Redeem the new moments of your life. Because the time and age ...

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

NOW

Date 📅 18th October, 2022 Topic NOW Living Scripture Hebrews 11:1,7 KJV Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [7] By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. Now we begin to walk in the ways of faith and truth as our fathers in faith and mighty men of old and just as they witnessed the glory of God first hand so shall we if we act now. The perfect example is Noah and the ark, a man of grace and wisdom. The world was stained with disobedience, sinful ways and thick immoralities. And God decided to wipe the inhabitants of the earth with a great flood such as have never been before and even after. The heavens where ready to open the flood gates and the earth to let out her waters. When God spoke to Noah, he acted immediately and finished the ark on time and he eva...
