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...

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...
