RESTORATION TODAY
TUESDAY 3RD JANUARY 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: WALK IN THE SPIRIT.
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5: 16.
Paul's directive to the Galatians in today's verse is a foundation truth for how all Christians should live their lives.
Life transpires one day at a time, and believers should routinely take each day one step at a time. In walking by the Holy Spirit, our chief opposition is our own flesh (Galatians 5: 17). Therefore, it is crucial that we possess the scriptural strategy for our spiritual walk and that we know how to practically and effectively carry it out.
The first part of our strategy has to be a daily intake of God's word. Psalm 1: 2 says that the men who walks on a godly path will ?delight ? in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditate day and night?. Meditation helps us effectively seal the Word in our hearts so we can obediently apply it and minister it in accordance with God?s Spirit.
Secondly, if we want to walk by the Spirit, we must focus on God and allow Him to renew our minds. The key is found in Paul's familiar command: Do not be conformed to this word, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect (Romans 12: 2). The believer who lives that way will undoubtedly walk by the Spirit because he will also be one who worships God in spirit and truth (John 4: 24).
ACTION POINT:
We must focus on God and His word as we begin to walk by the Spirit.
SCRIPTURES:
Galatians 5: 17
Psalm 1: 2
Romans 12: 2
John 4: 24.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, help me to begin to remove everything that is preventing me from worshiping You wholeheartedly in the name of Jesus.
2. I receive today, the blessings of walking in the Spirit in the name of Jesus.
DAILY BIBLE READING:
Genesis 3
Job 4 & 5
Matthew 3.
