TOPIC: Put Off The Old Man (I) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 28 August 2022)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 31:2-21, 2 Chronicles 32, 2 Chronicles 33:1-20, 2 Corinthians 1:23, 2 Corinthians 2:1-11, Proverbs 21:5-16
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Romans 8:1-14 (KJV)
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
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.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 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 have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
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.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
MEMORY VERSE: “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.” – Romans 8:7-8
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES:
It is outrightly impossible to mix the old nature with the new. It displeases God.
PRAISE AND WORSHIP:
Pray about everything, worry about nothing!
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
I COMMAND EVERY MANIFESTATION OF THE FLESH TO DIE IN YOUR LIFE, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
MFM Devotional For Today 2022 MESSAGE:
We were all sinners but found mercy and received grace from God through Christ Jesus. We are called to grow in the Lord into the full stature of Christ. This explains that Christianity is not a destination. You haven’t arrived, rather you have just started a journey into eternity. A journey full of obstacles, distractions and dangers, yet, you are not alone. Neither can you overcome these hurdles except by the Holy Spirit, the enabling Power of God with us and indwelling in us. By strength shall no man prevail!
The old man is your old nature before you got saved. Satan will do everything to ensure that you keep some of this old nature alive, such as pride, anger, malice, selfishness, unforgiveness, and every bad attitude. The flesh is that natural part of man that has been in control of his life before the salvation experience. No sooner than you are born again, you must endeavour not only to subdue, rather, kill the power of the flesh. Else, it swings into contention, competition and unhealthy rivalry with the Spirit as soon as you begin to attain maturity in the Lord.
Also Read: Open Heaven 28 August 2022 Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Topic: FULFILLING PURPOSE
Unfortunately, many believers in Christ are quick to forget that they owe some responsibilities to God. Failure to fulfil these obligations calls for some divine sanctions. You cannot be a friend of God and yet a friend of the world, or slave to unrighteousness.
Today’s memory verse makes us understand that anyone living in carnality shall not please God. Therefore, you must endeavour to live in the Spirit and not fulfil the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21). The flesh generates the works of the flesh, as stated in Galatians 5:19-21, which are the manifestations of the old man. This is expressly against the fruit of the Spirit, listed in Galatians 5:22-23. The activities of the old man destroy and disconnect you from God while the fruit of the Spirit endows you with godly virtues and improves your spiritual health. The flesh leads to spiritual decay and death while the fruit of the Spirit leads you to abundant life in Christ, both here on earth and in heaven.
Make a choice, therefore, to either pamper the flesh and its vanities or embrace the Spirit and all that it offers you here and beyond. Decide to live a life that is pleasing unto God, and the Spirit of God shall set you free from the law of sin and death.
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
- Holy Spirit, crush every activity of the flesh in my life to death, in the name of Jesus.
- I speak death to the root of carnality in my life, come out and die, in the name of Jesus.
- By the blood of Jesus, I am delivered from the power of sin and iniquity, in the name of Jesus.
EVENING
- Power to live above sin and temptation, come upon me now, in the name of Jesus.
- My Father, by Your power, take me away from sin, in the name of Jesus.
- I shall be a God pleaser and not a man pleaser, in the name of Jesus.
- Father, deliver me from the captivity of the flesh and lead me by Your Spirit always, in the name of Jesus.
