RESTORATION TODAY
SUNDAY 19TH FEBRUARY 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: MEDITATING AND APPLYING GOD'S WORD.
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:22-23.
As soon as we are saved, God begins what is known as sanctification, teaching us to be like Him. This is a process, as it takes time to learn to walk by faith, trusting what we cannot see.
Even with God's Holy Spirit living inside of us, we still battle our flesh. We desire to do what God says and to see as He sees, but because we have behaviour patterns left over from our old sinful nature, we will falter and do things in our own strength, according to our own thinking. We must choose daily to follow His way. To grow in godliness, we must learn to listen to our Father.
But since this is not a natural tendency, self-discipline is needed. It is best to set specific time each day to meditate upon God's Word Eagerly expect Jesus to speak to you, and listen to what He is saying. Write notes in your Bible with the date and what the Lord has impressed upon you. Then apply the truth and observe the results. Hearing God's voice and being in tune with His Spirit are vitals parts of walking in faith.
But these things don't just happen; they-require determined persistence. As with physical exercise, the more we strengthen our spiritual muscles, the more the process becomes part of who we are.
