DON'T GIVE CONTROL TO THE FLESH
Colossians 3:1-2
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
One major set back Christians experience is when they begin to live a life yielded to the flesh. Most Christians are born again but have not allowed the Spirit of God take control of their lives.
As a Christian, you don't give everything demanded to the flesh, if you do, the flesh will begin to control you. Galatians 5:17 says, "For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want."
The flesh and the Spirit are in constant war against each other, and it's impossible to serve both, you have to choose one. The one you choose becomes master over your life, choosing the flesh leads to death and choosing to live after the Spirit tends to life everlasting.
When you walk in the Spirit, you will not fulfill the works of the flesh (Galatians 5:16).
Galatians 5:25 says, "Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit." Always follow the leading of the Spirit, consciously mortify the flesh, and set your affection on the things that pleases God.
AFFIRMATION
I live the Spirit filled life, I’m under the control of the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit is the only influence allowed in my world. I’m aglow and burning with the Spirit of God.
