THEME: Oh! Carnal Mind.

MEMORY VERSE:
“And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.”
Galatians 5:24.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Galatians 5:19-21.
“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
As humans, we all have our general and individual desire and aspirations in life, irrespective of our class or status. Well, we often go all out, with everything within our capacity to achieve this singular glory of ours.
Meanwhile, not minding what it will take to achieve the set task, goal or the consequence of our actions. For, when we are filled with the decision to fulfil the lust of the flesh, at this point, the spirit man is in comatose or silent.
However, our today’s text highlight some of the work of the flesh, such as: _Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like._
Furthermore, a mind filled with the above, is a carnal mind, an enemy of divine order. A mind sold into reprobate, doing what is not convenient. Oh! Carnal mind, filled with bodily gratification and pleasure. It kicks against divine instruction in all strata. Beloved, how is your mind? And how is my mind? Is the content of our hearts and minds, in line with God’s standard? Do check it out.
In conclusion, Apostle Paul in Galatians 5:16 declared: *”This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.”* As humans, there is no way, flesh will not strike, but when we walk in the spirit, we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh, as admonished by Paul. Therefore, let’s cross examine our lives daily, and we shall not be judged at last in heaven in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.
*Jesus is coming soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I will not be giving to a reprobate mind.

THEME: Spiritually Minded?

MEMORY VERSE:
“For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established. ”
Romans 1:11.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Romans 8:6-8.
“For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
In Apostle Paul’s letters to the Romans, he emphasized on the spirituality of the people of Rome at his time. For the peculiarity of being born again and the activeness in the Apostolic faith was on a ground level. This propelled him to propose a visitation in order to impart unto them some spiritual gift, that they may be established.
Meanwhile, to be established is not only by the numbers of Estates you build, fleets of cars in your garage or group of companies you chaired. But rather, the quality of your spiritual gifts and how you exercise these gifts to the glory of God and benefit of mankind.
However, in our today’s text, Paul reminds us, as he wrote to the Romans about the consequence of not being spiritually minded, which he emphatically says is death. May you and I not die a spiritual death in Jesus name. Amen.
Furthermore, Paul revealed that to be spiritually Minded, is live and peace. For carnal mind is enmity against God, it is never in subjection to the law of God and it’s end is destruction.
Conclusively, John 3:6 declared thus:
*”That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”* Beloved, God is spirit and not flesh, although God of all flesh. But, they that are rule by the flesh cannot please God, that is spirit. Therefore, sow greatly to your spirit-man and you shall reap peace and eternal life at last. May the spirit of God, furnish you with spiritual gifts and strength to do God’s will in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.
*Jesus is coming soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
That which is born of the Spirit is spirit. By grace, I am born of the spirit through Jesus Christ and empowered in the Holy Ghost.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, you are the Most High God. The God of all flesh, help me to put my flesh under subjection of your law, that I may please you, in all that I do in Jesus name. Amen.

Matthew 12:16.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Matthew 6:1-3.
“Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Many a times, when we don’t examine our day to day activities in the light of the word of God, we tend to discover later, why our labour or efforts resulted in futility.
Meanwhile, while making it known, we receive commendations and human applause for a job well-done accompany with awards, trophies and countless titles from all angles of life. Although, all these boost societal status and recognition, but it accounts for little or nothing in eternity. And if one leaves the earth without holiness, all earthly efforts lost.
Furthermore, our today’s text sounds a warning that we should take heed, that our alms giving should not attracts public scenery but must be done in private.
In conclusion, let’s observe the injunction of our Lord Jesus Christ to us this day; *”Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.”* Beloved, the glory of men, is incomparable to the glory of God. Wait for God’s glory and you will rejoice doing so. May God bless you more and more as you give in love in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
By His grace, I will be a giver. A strong pillar in the house of my God.
