Happy Weekend everyone,
Today, I’ll take a look at Galatians 5:25 still but a closer view and bring out truths on how we are to live as one who has total dominance on earth, and by total dominance, it includes money.
Galatians 5:25 says, “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” The Amplified version says, “If we live by the [Holy] Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. [If by the Holy Spirit we have our life in God, let us go forward walking in line, our conduct controlled by the Spirit.]” To live by the Spirit is to receive Christ as Lord, that is to be born anew, just as I said yesterday, but to walk by the Spirit has to do with your actions, your way of life, the decisions you take. All these should not be as a mere man thinks but as Jesus acts.
The Amplifies version of Galatians 5:25 talked of being controlled by the Spirit, that is, your thoughts, words, deeds, actions, reactions, words of your mouth and meditation of your heart should not be canal, that is, with the five senses anymore. It is only in this realm that you can fully utilise the authority of Christ which you have access to through Christ. Walking in the Spirit could order wise be known as walking in the obedience of faith, what do I mean?
To receive Christ into your life is an act of faith that is, accepting and receiving the grace which has been offered to you by God. This grace includes the total authority of Christ in heaven and earth and also access to the Holy Spirit. So to live in Spirit is to receive this new life from God which is through faith, but to walk in faith goes beyond just having faith alone but to put that faith to work, that is the things you received through the grace of Jesus, and what do these entail?
Apostle Paul in Colossians 1 from verse 9 wrote to the Colossians how he hasn’t ceased praying for them, and his prayer for them explains further breaks down what walking in the spirit means. He started by writing that he prays that they may be filled with the knowledge of the will of God in all wisdom and spiritual understanding that they may walk worthy of the Lord. These listed explains how to boost one’s ability to walk in Spirit through the obedience of faith. Being filled with the knowledge of the will of God in all wisdom and spiritual understanding entails meditation on the word of God of which Holy Spirit would then interpret in order to truly gain access to the full knowledge of the will of God in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
Paul continued writing that doing all that is enables one to walk worthy of the Lord, which is pleasing to the Lord and it doesn’t end there, the person would then be fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for that spills over into joy.
This could feel long, but there are a lot of benefits when born of God, but with all these, it is the Holy Spirit who directs your path. And as you have acquired all that has been written, it the obedience of the simple instructions that the Holy Spirit gives you that allows you actually manifest the grace received through faith, because this actually is the obedience of faith.
May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
