BEWARE OF WHAT FLESH CAN DESTROY 1

One of the greatest enemies of our faith in this journey of life that must be tackled prayerfully and with all seriousness is the flesh.  I know you have heard about the cravings and dictates of the flesh. You must not overlook this teaching but pay close attention to this admonition as it has the ability to finish you, put you out of grace and make a mess of your journey to eternal life. Recur the story of Samson in Judges Chapter 16, it was nothing but the lust of the eye and the dictates of his flesh that led to the sudden loss of his unique anointing and finally a shameful ending. You need to check this area of your life and make provisions that will not allow you to be grounded abruptly.

“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” John 6:63

You need the infilling of the Holy Spirit to live a fulfilled Christian life on the earth. If you are given to satisfying your flesh every time it craves for something you think cannot be denied it, you may find it difficult getting hearing God over your most pressing issues and needs. Your assignment on the earth is to concentrate wholly on God and to fulfil His will. The only hindrance to satisfying God is the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life. These will always work contrary to the agenda of God for your life and if you are the careless type, you may find it difficult to comprehend the times and seasons when the devil has taken you off guard. Don’t allow your flesh to put you in life that will hurt you later in life,

Prayer: Father, help me to stay in faith on your word without wavering
