DAILY PRECEPTS DEVOTIONAL STUDY.
Topic: STOP WISHING AND START ACTING.
Bible Reading: Romans 7:15-25, Galatians 5:16-18.
Many people wish they do the right thing, like following the Lord, hearing, studying and practicing the word of God. They love to pray and spend good times with God, they desire to go out do evangelism and save souls for Jesus. They seriously wish to give bountifully to the work of the Lord, desire to serve the Lord and live a life so pleasing to Him. But many of these things they are not doing, those things only ended up on the table of wishes. The question is why are they not doing those things? The reason is that flesh is what rules them.
"For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: SO THAT YE CANNOT DO THE THINGS THAT YE WOULD." Vs.17.
The scripture says your flesh lust against the Spirit so that you will not do the things you wish to do. But it is important for you to know that God never reward anyone for what you want to do, you're only rewarded for what you have done.
So if you are going to live a life that will make meaning on the earth, one that will impact men for God, a life that will experience success and blessings of God, then, you need to conquer the flesh, and subject it, so that the Spirit can dominate you. When you are ruled by your flesh you will only be wishing, and you will never have the power to do anything good or anything pleasing to God. It is important now to know that the only way to stop the flesh is to start walking in the Spirit.
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
As you go today recieve grace and empowerment to what is right in Jesus name.
Prayer Point: Pray that God will help you to be dead to the flesh and alive to the Spirit in Jesus name.
