●Today's Topic:-> Life By The Spirit
●Today's Scripture:-> Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
●Today's Message:->
Life is by the Spirit of God. If you are not living by the Spirit of God, you are only living a dead life. Your life on earth doesn't mean and count for anything if all that you do is not powered by the Spirit of God. If that is so, that means your existence is only a waste.
May it never be you and be said about you as a believer.
In Genesis 2:7, we see clearly that, when God formed man out of the dust, He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. That was the Spirit of God introduced into him. He did that for man to live by the Spirit. Not by his sensual perception or mental faculty nor any other means.
Originally, God's intention was for man to live by the Spirit. That's how God designed man to live. Because God Himself is a Spirit. He lives in the spirit world and controls things on earth through the supernatural means.
The Word and the Spirit.
So, when God created man, He needed him to function the way He functions as a spirit being. That is, to live as a spirit being on earth, powered by the life of His Spirit. But how would that one be possible for man to live without His Spirit? It will only take God's own way to help man to live to that standard.
Therefore, the LORD Himself gave man His Spirit right from the onset of his formation. He knew that if He hadn't done that, it would be very impossible for man to live as a spirit being on earth. So, He gave man His Spirit to help him to live the way He lives in the spirit world on earth, naturally.
Likewise, when you become born again, that experience was restored after Adam's fall. Because after Adam's fall, the Spirit of God was cut off from man. Man, now was no more living by the Spirit of God. So, everything of him became deadly as a testimony and sacrifice before God.
No life. No living testimony for divine acceptance. Because it is only the living who can live to please the living God with a living sacrifice. That is for only those who are alive in God by the faith of the Son of God.
This is why God gave you His Spirit right after you become born again. He did that for you to live in the spirit, walk in the Spirit, and be led by the Spirit. So that your testimony before God won't be dead but accepted as a living sacrifice.
This shows how you are to live your life and by whom you are to live that life as a child of God. So as a believer, you can't allow yourself to be controlled by your fleshly desires, the world, and any external teachings of men contrary to God's Word. Your life primarily is meant to be influenced by the Spirit of God within you.
That is where true christianity starts from.
It starts from living by the Spirit of God; the life of God. He is your life force in the spirit world. Allow Him to control your words and actions. Let Him influence everything that you do and say.
Because in the realm of the spirit, if what you say and do is not something the Spirit of God never told you to say and do, and you say it and do it, you're on your own. You won't find things easy with demons. They'll fight you into destruction.
This is where living by the Spirit of God becomes very important. Because you must be led by Him for Him to defend you on any ground and make your life count before God. Therefore, live by the Spirit always.
Until then,
Let what you say and do be powered by the Spirit of God!
