YOUR OPPONENTS

  YOUR OPPONENTS     1 Peter 5:5-11 DEVOTIONAL:- “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” (v. 8). NKJV When a man does not know his opponent, he will be totally ignorant of the way to victory. Most people always make the mistakes taking man as their enemy. As God’s children, we must come to understand that the forces against us are the forces of the devil, though they always use people. God’s word says we are not fighting against flesh and blood but against principalities (they take territorial government), against powers (master spirit), rulers of the darkness of this age and against the spiritual host of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). These are forces of God that fell with the devil, and their powers were not taken from them (Revelation 12:7-9). You must understand that they are the ones manifesting and manipulating in different ways in human lives (2 Corinthians 2:11). Th...

CARNAL MIND

CARNAL MIND   

Romans 8: 1-8
Devotional: -“For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” (v.6)


    Many people want to succeed, but they operate a carnal mind. No one can succeed without his mind. There is no success in view for a mad man. It is not that he is not a man; it is only that he is a man without a working mind. He cannot sell or organize a business or employ a staff to work for him and pay. Why? He cannot coordinate himself, a man who can do all that, is not mad. So also, no one can succeed without a good mind.

 A carnal mind is a mind that is not subject to the Spirit or the word of God. He only operates in the old Adamic nature which is the nature of a natural man without Christ. This mind has been wrongly nurtured by the ungodly and sinful way of the world.  Though he may be coming to the church but has not allow the Holy Spirit to govern his heart. Such Christian jest with servants of God because to them, success in life does not demand serious commitment to God. So, he has not seen the need for God in his life. That is why there will be hidden activities of the devil around his life and family and that will only be more revealed in the days of challenges.

To be free from such negative experiences, the person has to separate himself to seek the Lord. He needs a genuine relationship with God by studying the word of God and praying daily. He needs to be committed to the fellowship of children of God for proper nurturing in the Lord. Then he will find the Lord as he seek him with a genuine heart. That is when he can begin to enjoy divine wisdom for his success. Peace

Prayer: Lord, deliver me from carnal mind by your Spirit.
