Your Old Nature And Your New One by Btruth: 5:53am On Jun 13, 2021 |
Your old nature and your new one Sun, 13 Jun 2021 ‘The Spirit and your desires are enemies.’ Galatians 5:17 The Bible says: ‘If you are guided by the Spirit, you won’t obey your selfish desires. The Spirit and your desires are enemies… always fighting each other and keeping you from doing what you feel you should.’ (Galatians 5:16–17 CEV) Sound familiar? Here are four keys to winning the daily battle between your old and new natures. (1) Be honest. Acknowledge that your flesh will always crave satisfaction in the wrong things—and it never takes a day off. (2) Be humble. Acknowledge that you’re powerless to win the battle without God’s help. By committing yourself to God, you draw on His strength in those first crucial moments of each test. And your ability to do that will grow as you practise this spiritual discipline. The closer you draw to God, the stronger you become when faced with temptation and trouble. (3) Be disciplined. This is a personal matter; no one else can do it for you. Paul writes, ‘Don't let sin rule your body… don’t obey its desires.’ (Romans 6:12 CEV) If someone else has to restrain you, it doesn’t work! (4) Be alert. As a soldier David should have known better, but Satan caught him off guard with his defences down. As a result he ended up committing adultery with Bathsheba, then having her husband put to death in an attempt to cover it up. Maybe you think it couldn’t happen to you. Paul, the greatest of the apostles, wrote, ‘I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.’ (1 Corinthians 9:27 NIV) 9 Likes 4 Shares |

Very few christians in Nigeria actually know what being christian means, there's no such thing as a true believer or an unserious christian, its either you are for Christ or against Him. Christianity literally means living like Christ, now these are things He didnt do while He walked this earth: 1. Murder 2. Immorality 3. Engage in politics 4. Pick up arms 5. Collect tithe 6. Acquire material things (private jets, real estates etc) 7. Open churches and called Himself G.O 8. Hate non-believers and many more fine attributes of this righteous Son of Man! Now if you do any of the above stop calling yourself a christian because you are nothing like Christ! 5 Likes 1 Share |

If u can put your Old nature in check, you'll see that the New nature will manifest effortlessly. Cos the new nature is not your default setting, it's hard to override the old nature. However, His grace is sufficient to make this work. Sometimes it's not by power or gragra. Just humbly ask Him to take the wheel, sit back and enjoy the ride. |

hmmm Every religion preachers preaches same thing. When you acknowledge a supreme beign, your strength are drawn away from impressing anyone but the supreme beign. You draw energy from an unknown source. This process never fail when you're truly humble that you know nothing. Hence if you fail, there is another grace if you live. Spiritual guidance is enshrined... when you truly understand the concept of supreme consciousness. Same thing Yoga explain, meditation, checking your energy... same going to Temples, churches, mosques. 1 Like |

I genuinely don't have anything to contribute to this matter. I had previously written "ok" to save space thinking I will have something tangible to say. So rather than leaving just "ok" I said let me come out clean. Leaving just "ok" is an eyesore! its tantamount to defacing a building with a graffiti, I'm no cyber hoodlum. |

Btruth: For you to say "Be Honest, Be Humble, Be this, Be That" means that one is not far from old nature. As far as east is from the west so far must you be from your "old nature"! |
