THE DESTRUCTIVE PRISON OF THE FLESH

SCRIPTURE: It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. John 6:63

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: To follow the flesh is to be enslaved by the flesh.

We are living in a world where so many people are craving for the gratification of their flesh at the expense of the wellbeing of their spirit-man. Many fail to realise that it is their spirit-man that will stand before God on the Day of Judgment.

Beloved, to follow the flesh is to be enslaved by the flesh. The flesh of man is a terrible task master; it is like a bottomless pit that can never be satisfied. There are people today who are slaves of alcohol, tobacco, immorality, masturbation etc.

There are those who would not go to Church on Sunday morning because their football club is playing. To be under the control of the flesh is to be driven into destruction in time and in eternity.

To ensure that your eternity with God is guaranteed, living for Christ is the best way to live (Romans 6:23). We were condemned but Jesus, the Judge, came down from His judgment seat and paid the penalty of our sins; He died for us so we can live for Him. You are, therefore, not on earth for yourself but for Christ.

Remember this: To follow the flesh is to be enslaved by the flesh.

ASSIGNMENT (S):
1.Invest in the wellbeing of your spirit-man by living a life of fasting, prayer and studying of God’s Word.
2.Avoid every suggestion of the flesh.
3.Let Christ be the reason behind every action you take.
