Topic: ALWAYS TALK SPIRITUAL,
1 Corinthians 3:1
"And I, brethren, could speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ."
Beloved in Christ
John 11 tells us the story of Lazarus, who fell sick and died.
When Jesus heard, He said to His disciples, "...our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may awake him from sleep."
His disciples, not understanding what He meant, replied "Lord if he is asleep, then he will get better".
Jesus had to plainly tell them that Lazarus was dead.
They didn't understand Jesus' spiritual language because they were yet carnal; so He had to speak to them in a language they could understand.
Apostle Paul had a similar experience in the scriptural text today. He rebuked the Corinthian Church for being carnal when he couldn't communicate effectively with them using spiritual language.
Have you ever found yourself in situations where you had difficulty expressing yourself to carnal people?
It has happened to me countless times.
For example, being a spiritual man, if you felt a headache, you couldn't say "I have a headache."
A carnal man sees nothing wrong in communicating in such a mundane level.
Realize that as Christians, we don't walk by our feelings, but by Faith. This means we don't talk or confess our feelings but the reality of God's Word!!!
When you say "I have headache", it means you've taken possession of it, you claimed it;
You shouldn't, because it is an outside force, so don't accommodate it in your body.
Yes, you might feel the pain, but use the Word against it and it will pass out of your body.
Hebrews 13:5-6 says "...for He (God) hath said... that we might boldly say..."
Make up your mind to stand your ground in Faith and walk in Divine health, prosperity and live the Divine life.
Say only what The Word says about you and refuse sin, sickness, poverty, lack, death, stagnation, depression, frustration, depravity, confusion etc.
Talk spiritual!!!
Speak according
