BEING FULL OF YOURSELF



 BEING FULL OF YOURSELF
The flesh will always want to be pleased. The spirit is willing, it quickeneth; but the flesh is weak and profits nothing. Engaging yourself in worldly things draws GOD’s Spirit far from you. If you draw nearer to GOD, He will also draw nearer to you. Many hearts are filled with ungodly thing. A man’s heart should be guarded with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4 vs. 23: Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. A man’s heart must be filled with godly things. The Psalmist said in Psalm 119 vs. 11: Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against you. He knew worldly things might occupy his heart; he hid GOD’s word inside his heart; so he might not sin against GOD. When a man is full of himself, GOD cannot fill him. When a man is full of himself, he walks after the flesh and fulfills the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5 vs. 16- 17: This I say then, walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to the other; so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. It is important to be filled with the Holy Spirit; rather than being filled with worldliness. The spirit is contrary to the flesh. When a man is full of himself, he is under the law. Galatians 5 vs. 18: But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. When a man is full of himself, he is of the world and the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2 vs. 15-16: Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. Vs. 17: And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of GOD abideth forever. The will of GOD is walking in the Spirit, the will of GOD is being filled by the Spirit of GOD. The disciples were fully filled with the Spirit of GOD, on the day of Pentecost. After that encounter, they were bold and could perform miracles, signs and wonders which they couldn’t do before.

                     

Act 1 vs. 8:  But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:  and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. The bible said as many that are led by the Spirit of the LORD, they are sons of GOD. They are spirit conscious than flesh. When a man is full of himself, he is automatically saying no place for GOD. GOD is a jealous GOD; He told Moses and the Israelites thou shall have no other gods before me. Exodus 20 vs. 3-5: Thou shall have no other gods before me. Thou shall not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them; for I the LORD thy GOD am a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me. Readers, you will observe and discover whatever you engage your heart with, tells what becomes of you. GOD should have a place in our lives, nothing should take that place. We need HIM more than ever before. He must be exalted above all other things. It is well with us……

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM Freedom is a state of being able to do what you want without anything stopping you. Galatians 5 vs 1 says: so Christ has made us free, now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get all tied up again in the chains of slavery to jewish laws and ceremonies. Christ’s death on the cross made us free, we are in bondage before, but Christ made us free. We are tied up in chains slavery to sins, but his death made us free. The bible said whosoever the son sets free, is free indeed. We have been set free, and we are free. Many misuse this freedom, many use this freedom to do the wrong things. Many still dwell in sins despite, this freedom. This freedom brings grace, love, purity and faithfulness. The bible said we can’t continue in sins and say grace to abound, GOD forbid. When you are in sin, your freedom becomes captivity again. That is why, you must flee from all appearances of sins. Paul said in Galatians 5 vs 13: For dear brothers, you ...

THE DUTY OF MAN

THE DUTY OF MAN Duty is that which one is morally obligated to do. A husband in a house is responsible for meeting his family’s needs. That is the duty of a husband. A wife is responsible for taking care of the children and also house chores. That is the duty of a wife. A school teacher’s responsibility is to teach the students. That is the teacher’s duty. A student’s responsibility is to go to school, listen to what the teacher teaches and study them. That is the student’s responsibility. Our Creator GOD created everything for a purpose. Every creation has a duty to carry out. Unfortunately, many creations have failed in their duty. When a man doesn’t carry out his duty he is termed a failure. It causes the Creator GOD nothing to replace men with stones when they fail him. I pray may you not fail GOD!                However, there is time for everything. Don’t get excited and get carried away in this world. D...
