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.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a...

Breakfast with Jesus

DATE 24th June, 2023 TOPIC Breakfast with Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE Psalm 65:4 KJV Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. The Psalmist was a peculiar man and one that feared the LORD and walked in the paths of righteousness. In his meditation and Psalms, he learnt to dine with Jesus Christ early and through Psalms, from the 63rd to the 66th, he found a way to breakfast with Jesus. The first contact we should have everyday is Jesus Christ, to receive of His glorious satisfaction early, contentment and to be filled with the goodness and mercy He gives His children daily. When a child eats with his parents there's that joy and peace within, such comfort and full assurance. Jesus Christ always ate with our Heavenly Father while He was here on earth, He sought after the LORD daily and was satisfied with the glory and goodness of the Father. Each...

Forgiveness of Sins

DATE - April 7th, 2022 TOPIC - Forgiveness of Sins BIBLE TEXT - Acts 5:31 AMP God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior and Deliverer, in order to grant repentance to Israel, and [to grant] forgiveness of sins. Apostle Peter stood tall before the council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) to speak with boldness about a God who Saves and sets free any sinner from the power of sin. As a man who has been shown mercy though a man once filled with sinful ways, the Holy Spirit quickened him through his personal testimony of experiencing true forgiveness of sins before the Jewish High Court. Peter was a local fisherman with no knowledge of the gospel truth, who lived as he pleased. Until he encountered Jesus when Christ was walking by the sea of Galilee and he spotted Simon Peter who was in his boat struggling to catch a few fishes for days. Like many out there today who are living in sin and still struggling to make ends meet, Jesus is passing through that street, area...
