Focus: Every Man is Corrupt

WORD FOR TODAY
By default every man is corrupt, the only time corruption will not manifest in our lives is when we submit ourselves to live in the spirit.
A man allows the work of the flesh to manifest each time he refuses to walk in the spirit!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh." (Galatians 5:16 NKJV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The works of flesh do not know or respect a man who is a Pastor, Prophet, Bishop, Reverend, or General Overseer, who fails to walk in the spirit. We hear on daily basis the atrocities of men in various aspects of life and how many so-called people of God drag His name in the mud.

The only man who will not fulfill the lust of the flesh is the one who chooses to submit himself to walk in the spirit. Every man who is not walking in the spirit no matter who he is and how long he has been in faith will be corrupt. There is no limit to the evil and shameful thing you can do if each time you choose not to allow God to work in you to do His good pleasure.

To walk in the spirit means to submit yourself to do the will of God as directed by the Holy Spirit in every situation and every point in time. It means to deny yourself, carry your cross and walk in the steps of Christ. Giving an allowance for God to work in you both to will and to do His good pleasure. Hence, the corrupt nature of a man will only be in subjection when we walk in the Spirit!

+ Are you walking in the spirit?

Lord! I receive the grace to always yield myself to walk in Spirit in Jesus' name. Amen

Emphasis
The output of a man's life at any level of life will be corruption each time he fails to walk in the Spirit!!!

Have a Blessed Thursday!!!

I partially agree with you to some point. But when you become a Christian, your sin or corrupt nature in this case is changed and you now become a new creature. I agree with you in the respect that having a new creature does not stop you from being tempted by things of the flesh and it's very important to walk in the spirit like you rightly said.

2corinthians5:17 if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things have passed away and behold all things have become new.

And where does the author of that letter explain what it means to "be in Christ"? undecided

Where does he explain what "Old things" and what "All things become new" implies? undecided
