READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. BE RULED BY THE WORD – PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME. MONDAY, AUGUST 29TH 2016.
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
(Romans 8:13).
As a child
of God, you’re an ambassador of Christ. That’s how He sees you. You’re His representative.
That’s why it’s important that your behavior conforms to the Word. Be ruled by
the Word. Don’t live according to your flesh. Don’t be controlled by your
emotions. Give no place to carnality in your life. Be spiritually minded. Spend
time on the Word and yield yourself to the Holy Spirit to work through you.
Remember, He
sees your heart; if you’re hungry for Him; if you’re zealous and passionate for
Him and the spread of the Gospel, He’ll see to it that you’re a success in
life. So, you’ve got to align yourself with His thoughts. Let nothing stop you
from living a life that’s pleasing to the Lord. Let your life be to the praise
and glory of the One who called you.
Walk in the
Spirit; the Bible says, “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh” (Galatians 5:16). Walking in the Spirit is
walking in the Word; living according to God’s Word. As long as you can have
bitterness in your heart, you’re not walking in the Spirit; as long as you’re
still involved in some worldly, carnal machinations, you’re not walking in the
Spirit.
Refuse to be
body-ruled. Live beyond the senses, for Christianity is life in the spirit.
Don’t live in accordance to how you feel; live in accordance to the Word.
You’re not of this world; you’re born of the Word. Jesus said, “I’m from
above,” and so are you; you’re from above. Therefore, “set your affection on things
above, not on things on the earth” (Colossians 3:2). Don’t think, talk, or act
like the world. Let the Word of God dominate your thinking and control your
life.
CONFESSION
I’m born of
the Spirit, and I’m fully yielded to His leading, guidance and control; I don’t fulfill the desires of the flesh. I’m fulfilling God’s perfect will, and living
out my destiny in Him. I yield my spirit to Him only, to be instructed and
guided in wisdom to please the Lord in all things. Amen.
