ConsciouslyDevelop Your Spirit

But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed (James 1:25).
As a child of God, you must become conscious that you are from above and that you have the life and nature of God at work in you. Except and unless you have this consciousness, you’d find that you’d live the ordinary human life. Don’t forget that everyone born into this world has the capacity in them to live the ordinary human life. Without this consciousness, you might just live the human life without realising that you could live the NEW life that Christ gave you.
Most people, including many Christians live the ordinary life; they live according to their mental processes and senses. They have become conscious of their environment and live according to the rules and rudiments of this world and speak the language of this world. But as a child of God, He wants you to have the consciousness that you are not of this world and you have a spiritual life. He wants you to let your spirit man have the dominion over your body and the rule over its senses. This is why am sharing with you today on how to develop (strengthen and position) your spirit to have the mastery over the flesh.
In order to develop your spirit, you must practise the Word of God. Practising the Word is doing what the Word says to do. Maybe you don’t have any money on you and you’re worried about what you will eat and wear, plus all these, your rent is due. What you need to do at this point is to take your eyes off your needs and practise Philippians 4:6; “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything: tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answers” (TLB).
When you make God and His Word the first resort in your life, your attitude to life will change and you’ll reap what the Word says. As you practise the Word, worry, doubt, fearand unbelief will be removed from you, and new words of faith and success will fill your mouth. Refuse to complain and murmur about your situation, for complainers have no place in the Word of God. Your response to the Word of God is so important as faith is the response of the human spirit to the Word of God. Make a quality decision today to practise the Word no matter the challenge you’re going through. This way, you’ll strengthen and position your spirit to have the mastery over the flesh always. Praise the Lord!

"The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my sheeple people love it this way. But what will you do in the end?" - Jeremiah 5:31

Consciously Living From Your Spirit
Posted on September 18, 2012 by Christ Embassy Online
We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal (2 Corinthians4:18).
Man is a spirit; he has a soul and lives in a body. 2 Corinthians 4:16 says, “for which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man ¡s renewed day by day. The spirit and the soul comprise the inward man. The body and its senses is what the Bible calls the outward man. With the outward man,you make contact with the physical world. Your body, that “man” that you clothe is not you; it’s your domicile—the house where the “real you”—your spirit lives. This is why you must give premium attention to the development of your spirit through the Word of God.
God wants you to consciously live from your spirit. The way to do this is to fix your gaze on the Word of God, refusing to be moved by the dictates of your physical senses. For example, the doctors might have said you’d be unable to have a child due to complications in your body; but remember that your body is not you! The real you is the recreated human spirit, which is fashioned after the image of Christ. Thus, there’s no sickness, weakness, limitation, imperfection, or barrenness of any kind in your spirit. Therefore all you need do is keep your focus on Deuteronomy 7:14 that says “thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle”.
Be conscious that you’re a spirit being, so refuse to dwell on the pain or growth you feel in your physical body. Don’t rate yourself on how much you have in your pocket or in your bank account. See yourself fromthe perspective of God’s Word and relate from that realm. Live from inside out, from your spirit which is the real you! Glory to God!

My dear brothers, there's no point quarrelling over how, where, why, whether he acquired these titles or not, at the end of it all he is still human like us. Appreciate what he has said or done right & leave the final judgement for the almighty God.
Thank you & remain blessed sirs...

Being Conscious that you’re from Above
Posted on September 19, 2012 by Christ Embassy Online
And he said unto them, ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; l am not of this world (John 8:23). The most sublime and profound communication ever to proceed from anyone came from the lips of Jesus. The Jews in His day couldn’t comprehend the wisdom and audacity with which the Master spoke. That’s because Jesus communicated with a spiritual language while they were men and women of the senses. For example, when He said in the
scripture above, “I am from above,” He wasn’t referring to a physical life. He was referring to a spiritual life! Jesus knew that His life didn’t come from Mary, because He was the Word of God made flesh. Conscious of that reality, He could say with boldness that He was not of this world. Now, the Bible says concerning us that as He (Jesus) is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:1 7). If you’re born again, you’re no longer an ordinary person; you’re from above just as Jesus, and you have the same indestructible life that He has. The Bible says we’ve been born again “not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever” (1 Peter 1:23). You’ve been born again of that same living Word, which came from heaven, which means you too can declare like Jesus, “I am from above!” I would to God every believer in Christ will live with this consciousness. It will change everything about you and bring a supernatural perspective to your life! Don’t think like the rest of the world; yes, you may look like them physically, but the life in you is from above. Train yourself in this consciousness. Speak a different language; the language of the Kingdom that you’re from. Refuse to speak sickness, disease, lack, and failure. They’re not part of your heavenly Kingdom. For example, it doesn’t matter that others around you are catching the flu, you’re from above; the life in you destroys and casts out the flu. I encourage you to carry this consciousness to work, school, and wherever you go. When you open your mouth to speak, others may think you’re out of your mind or you’re being boastful (like they thought of Jesus) but that shouldn’t change your confession of who you are: you’re from above!
