TOPIC: DEAL WITH THE OLD MAN
DAVID IZUAKHU
TEXT: EPHESIANS 4:22-24
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the OLD MAN, WHICH IS CORRUPT ACCORDING TO THE DECEITFUL LUSTS; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Who is the old man?
The old man is that former you before you met the Lord. That man that was born after the corrupt and deceitfulness of this world, that old you who was an enemy of God and stranger of righteousness. That you that loves this world and all that is in it. 1 John 2:15.
Although the old is gone, his spirit is still speaking in the life of some believers. Why do you think some times those old dancing steps you were dancing before you gave your life to Christ still pops up? You see some sisters still wearing those skipping and half naked dresses they were wearing before meeting with Jesus, and they see nothing wrong with it? The problem of such people is this; THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CAST OUT THE SPIRIT OF THE OLD MAN FROM THEIR NEW HOME.
So then, my friends, we have an obligation, for it is NOT TO LIVE AS OUR HUMAN NATURE WANTS US TO. For if you live according to your human nature, you are going to die; BUT IF BY THE SPIRIT YOU PUT TO DEATH YOUR SINFUL ACTIONS, YOU WILL LIVE. Romans 8:12-13 GNT.
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 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. Gal. 5:16-17.
Our anchor text says; that ye put off concerning the former conversation (life style) the OLD MAN, WHICH IS CORRUPT ACCORDING TO THE DECEITFUL LUSTS; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Eph. 4:22-24.
If you don't want to die or labour in vain as a believer, wake up today, kill and cast out the spirit of the old man from your life.
That old man wants you to continue in your old ways, he wants you to still have a relationship outside your marriage, he tells you to keep beating your wife, or as a wife to keep insulting and talking back at your husband arrogantly, which was your old life style. Read colossians 3:9-10. It is time to take the battle to the gate and say no to the old man, his tenure is over, allow the new man to have his way.
Please pray this prayer seriously:
My heavenly father, as I begin to pray now, I kill the spirit of the old man that wants me to continue in my old ways, I cast it out and silent his voice in Jesus name.
