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.

MARY, DID YOU KNOW?

Date - December 19th, 2021 Topic - MARY, DID YOU KNOW? Bible Text - But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” - Luke 1:30-31 If God had asked the women of Israel who wanted to be the mother of the Messiah, every one of them would have raised her hand. If they had known what that privilege would actually involve—becoming pregnant before marriage, enduring terrible gossip, watching helplessly as their Son was mocked, ridiculed, tortured and crucified—those hands would have come down in a hurry. Mary certainly didn’t volunteer for the job. And she was stunned to discover she’d been selected for such an important role. She handled the extraordinary situation with grace and humility. She asked one question to help her understand God’s plan, then agreed to it immediately. God has a plan for each of us. Ours may not be as earth-shattering as Mary’s. Ou...

Inside Jesus

DATE 28th June, 2023 TOPIC Inside Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE John 15:4 KJV Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. Inside Jesus Christ the Lamb of God is where we must dwell. Just like a baby is carried in the womb of her mother for months, so must all God's children follow. The anchor scripture reveals that we must abide inside the cleft or riven side of Jesus Christ just as He also dwells inside us. No child of God or minister should ever think that he or she is sufficient or has attained a certain height in Christ Jesus to stand alone or even abide by themselves.  Our productivity of bearing fruits in this world either by evangelism, good deeds, love or any action can only be possible when we are intimate with Christ as He is with us. Without Christ Jesus inside us we cannot or it is impossible to grow spiritually and physically. Inside Christ Jesus contains all life's resources and...

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...
