How Do I Walk In The Spirit? (II)


*DAILY DEW 22ND/JANUARY/2021*

*How Do I Walk In The Spirit?* (II)

_Key Bible Text:_
*For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.* (Romans 8:2, 4 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_
There are certain practices that help us walk in the Spirit. One of such is *developing a daily practice of reading the Word of God* (Psalm 1:1-3) The word of God is to a person what gasoline is to a car. Without fuel, even the most expensive machine in the world will not operate. We have two spirits within us -- our own natural spirit called "the flesh", and the new nature called "the Spirit". The one we feed the most is the one which will control us. 

We do not believe it is possible for a Christian to walk in the Spirit unless he develops the habit of regularly reading the Word to nurture his spiritual nature. That is where he gains the spiritual strength to walk in the Spirit. He also is given insight into the ways of God by reading the Word. As essential as it is to eat regularly to give you the strength to walk physically in this life, so it is essential to feed your mind on the Word of God daily to gain the spiritual strength to walk in the Spirit on a daily basis.

If you have experienced a difficult time being consistent in Bible Study, I have a suggestion for you. Take out the first period of the day after you wake up from sleep to read your bible or the last period of your day, before you sleep. Either one you choose, make a habit of it. If you can keep both periods, even better. In addition, form a habit of reading Christian materials regularly as well as listening to Christian messages and songs as often as possible. These will keep you "wet" enough to always make time and look forward to the bible study session. Such conditioning, enhances your ability to walk in the Spirit. 

MEDITATION:
*You don't get to eat without a daily plan, likewise you need a plan to prioritize and make a discipline of reading the Word on a daily basis. By the way, have you wondered why the _Word of God_ is called the _Sword of the Spirit_?*

FINANCING MISSIONS (II)

Image
*DAILY DEW 21ST/DECEMBER/2021* *FINANCING MISSIONS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.* (Galatians 6:2, 10 (KJV))  _Bible Insight:_ How do we get it?  Perhaps if I were to tell you how we do NOT get it, it would help. We do not raise it by means of suppers, bazaars, concerts, rummage sales, or oyster stews. Not because I am against these methods, but because they will not work. What does a business man do when he runs across a method that will not work? He scraps it, does he not?  Now listen. I am responsible, humanly speaking, for the personal support of three hundred and fifty missionaries. Every month of my life I have to get more than $25,000, or humanly speaking, they will starve.  How many of you business men carry as heavy a responsibility? What would you do if you had to get $25...

THE WAY OF THE CROSS (II)

Image
*DAILY DEW 16TH/SEPTEMBER/2021* *THE WAY OF THE CROSS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.* (1 Peter 2:24 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ *Through Christ’s death on the cross, those who turn to Him are delivered from both the penalty and the power of sin.* (1 Peter 2:24 New American Standard Bible) What are the benefits that accrue to us from following the cross, or carrying the cross to follow Jesus? In answering this, we need to understand that it is the death and resurrection of Jesus on the cross that gives the cross its power.  "1. Through Christ’s death on the cross, those who turn to Him are delivered from the penalty of sin." This is clearly the meaning of the words, “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree.” By using the word “tree” rather than “cross,” Peter no doubt had in mind Deuteronomy 21:22-23, where it pre...

TRUSTING AGAINST ALL ODDS*

Image
*DAILY DEW 24TH/DECEMBER/2021* *TRUSTING AGAINST ALL ODDS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him."* (Job 13:15 (KJV))  _Bible Insight:_ It's an uphill task trying to understand God's plan, especially when we can't make logical sense of what we see happening to and around us. But we aren't instructed to understand His plans, but to TRUST HIM and be secure in the knowledge that He's working everything to ultimately turn out for our good.  God won't mismanage your life. Trust Him with it and be willing and quick to obey His instructions even when they don't fit into your parameter of what's logical. One of the truest form of worship we can give to God is to TRUST Him - leaning our entire existence on the unchangeability of His nature and counsels. ❤ _MEDITATION:_ *In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.* (Psalms 71:1 (KJV)) *#Chibuikem_...
