WHAT's GAIN 3

WHAT’S GAIN 3?
I start quoting W.E. B Du Bois “Make yourself do unpleasant things so as to gain the upper hand of yourself”. Doing unpleasant things to the flesh is profitable; doing pleasant things to the spirit is profitable as well. John 6 vs. 63b : It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing. Matthew 26 vs. 41: Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. When one walks in the spirit and not flesh, he will not fulfill the lust of the flesh; which is a great gain. This flesh of ours is weak and will always tempt us to go after things of the world. The flesh will always want to be pleased with worldly things, but the spirit is not willing to go after things of the world. Many are pleasing their flesh and nourishing it with worldly things, but their spirit man is lacking. The bible said the flesh profiteth nothing; it is the spirit that quickeneth.
                        Many find it difficult to engage in spiritual exercise to fortify their spirit man. It is good to always be after the things of the spirit. Romans 8 vs.5: For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the spirit the things of the spirit. Vs.6: For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Vs. 7: Because the carnal mind is enmity against GOD; for it is not subject to the law of GOD, neither indeed can be. Vs. 8: So then they that are in the flesh cannot please GOD. Vs. 9 defines this spirit, but ye are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that the spirit of GOD dwell in you. Now if any man has not the spirit of CHRIST he is none of his. A man must connect his spirit to the Holy Spirit and be led by it. Only a righteous and holy life can accommodate the Holy Spirit.
                Roman 8 vs. 14: For as many as are led by the spirit of GOD, they are the sons of GOD. I would rather gain what profit my spirit than flesh. Engaging in spiritual exercise like praying, fasting, meditating the word of GOD profits and edifies the spirit. Romans 8 vs. 13: 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. 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...

FAITHFUL WHO HAD PROMISED.

FAITHFUL WHO HAD PROMISED To be faithful is to be reliable, worthy of trust and consistent with reality. A faithful man pledges and might later be unfaithful. For instance, couples make vows at the altar during their wedding, but these vows don’t stop the man or woman from breaking promises and vow. A married man finds himself cheating outside marriage despite all vows made during his wedding, because he is not faithful. You find cheating outside marriage is a common thing now, which shouldn’t be. Husbands drink from your own well, stick to her and figure out things by praying together. Wives drink from your own well, stick to him no matter what he has done. A man is not the faithful who had promised, because men fails and break their promise. Only GOD is the faithful who had promised. The bible said cursed be he that put his trust in the arm of flesh. The arm of flesh will surely fail. You been promised something by your uncle or aunt doesn’t guarantee you will be given the th...
