LIVING
ABOVE THE FLESH
MEMORISE
Let
not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the
lusts thereof.
Romans 6:12
READ
Romans 6:12-18
12 Let not
sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts
thereof.
13 Neither
yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield
yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as
instruments of righteousness unto God.
14 For sin
shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under
grace.
15 What then?
shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
16 Know ye
not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to
whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 But God be
thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart
that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18 Being then
made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
MESSAGE
When the fire fell on Mount Carmel, it consumed
even the dust beneath and around the altar (1 Kings 18:38). Dust stands for the
flesh. God in Genesis 3:19 said this to Adam:
“In
the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground;
for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou
return.”
When you build a new altar to God, the grace to
overcome the lust of the flesh will be released. One major enemy every child of
God has to live above daily is the flesh. Years after coming to the Lord, many
still remain defeated by their flesh – they are ensnared by their desires and
passions. Romans 6:12-14 says you should not let sin reign over you because you
are now operating under grace. The flesh comes with its powerful attractions
but it is only when you cooperate with it that you fall into sin. Stop yielding
to sin! When it pulls you, resist it. Each time you resist temptation, there is
a reward. However, the secret of permanent victory lies in building a new altar
to God. Have you been struggling with your flesh? Receive your deliverance now
in Jesus’ Name!
Another benefit of building a new altar to God is
that soul winning becomes a stress free activity. After Elijah built a new
altar to the Most High God, the children of Israel saw God’s signs and wonders
and they returned to God in droves. With a new altar, multitudes can be won to
the Lord. With a new altar, backsliders can be restored to the fold. This then
tells us that there is a relationship between the altar operating in the life
of the soul winner and the scope of results obtainable from soul winning. If
you want to win more souls for the Lord, souls with unshakable foundations,
examine the altar that presently exists in your life and do something about it.
One good thing about life is that as long as you are alive, you can do
something about almost everything in your life to give you a better ending.
Arise and work on that altar today!
PRAYER
POINT
