Walk in the Spirit so you don’t gratify the desire of the flesh

But I say, walk habitually in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be responsive to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the desire of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts].

Galatians 5:16 AMP

Glory, honour and adoration be unto God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

Today’s scripture is admonishing us to walk in the Spirit. That is to allow the Spirit of God to lead and guide us. This means that we have a choice to make between living according to our strength and abilities or according to the leadership of the Holy Spirit.

The scripture is clear that when we live by our strength we gratify the desires of the flesh including back biting, adultery, fornication, masturbation etc. The antidote is to allow the Spirit of God to direct us.

Walk habitually in the Holy Spirit means consulting the Holy Spirit in every step of your life. That is the way to put the flesh in check and under control.

Lord Jesus help us to live and walk completely by the Holy Spirit so we don’t gratify the desires of the flesh. May the power of the Holy Spirit live in us to guide all our moves in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

Walk in Love Always as Jesus Did

And this is love: that we walk in accordance with His commandments and are guided continually by His precepts. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should [always] walk in love.
2 JOHN 1:6 AMP

Glory be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

God is love and His Word today says that we should walk in love. The Love of God is felt and seen, and the believer is a direct beneficiary. By love He gave His only begotten son to die to set us free from sin and death.

Today’s scripture as captured by Apostle John says that as we walk in accordance with the Word of God, that is His precepts and commandments we are walking in Love. God is Love so when we are guided by His precepts, we walk in Love.

As we walk in Love we see the goodness of the Lord, we experience His loving kindness and others get blessed through us also. Let’s endeavour to walk in Love!

I am a child of the Most High God and I choose to walk in Love. His Word is my guide and I will walk according to His commandments all the days of my life so that I will abound in His Love so help me God. Amen.

Live by the Spirit,Walk by the Spirit

If we [claim to] live by the [Holy] Spirit, we must also walk by the Spirit [with personal integrity, godly character, and moral courage–our conduct empowered by the Holy Spirit].
GALATIANS 5:25 AMP

Praise, Glory and honour be to our Lord and Master for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

The charge by Apostle Paul in the whole of Galatians 5 is for the children of God to live by the Spirit of God. This is what is expected of every believer, to live and manifest the fruits of the Spirit.

A life not lived in the Spirit will be lived by the flesh and controlled by the desires of the flesh which produces ungodly fruits as listed in Galatians 5:19-21.

Today’s scripture therefore sums it up for us that if we have chosen to be children of God then let’s walk by the Spirit of God and show forth the fruits of integrity, godly character, moral courage, gentleness, kindness,goodness etc

May we live in the Spirit and walk in the Spirit to show forth the power and glory of God. May the Lord enable us to bear the fruits of the Spirit that will draw others to follow Jesus Christ in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen

Walk with the Wise and become Wise

He who walks [as a companion] with wise men will be wise, But the companions of [conceited, dull-witted] fools [are fools themselves and] will experience harm.
PROVERBS 13:20 AMP

Glory and honour be to God for this beautiful day and the gift of life, we shall enjoy the goodness of the Lord.

Glory be God for giving us the ability to be able to discern and make choices. Today we are presented with the opportunity of association that will forever impact our lives. The 1st verse of this chapter says that a wise son heeds and accepts the Father’s instructions and discipline and from the fruit of the mouth a wise man enjoys good things. May we enjoy good things by choosing wisely.

Today, tie this scripture around your neck and waist! Be in the company of the wise, walk with the wise, sit with the wise, chat with the wise, be intentional about connecting to the WISE!

Embrace any gathering that will afford you a connection with people you can learn from. The foolish association will lead to only destruction.

Let’s Receive the Wisdom of God to make the right choices all the days of our lives in Jesus name.

May we be spiritually alert to know who to connect to so we shall be counted among the wise. May folly not come near our dwelling in Jesus Mighty name. Walk with the wise and be wise. Amen.
