Walking in the Spirit 4 (Practical Steps to Walk in the Spirit) | Rev. COS Fawenu

Who is this? A Wisdom Bible church?

The Church of a distant Christian narration Walking in

the Spirit Last week we dwelt so well on what's Walking in the

Spirit is not. I will write it quickly.

Those seven items that I drew our attention to that may be

considered as walking in the spirit through misconception,

but which are not. Number one, I mentioned that

walking in the spirit is not being boxed into the bottom of

vision and revelation before you can live your normal life.

So it doesn't mean that until you see visions and revelation

before you can live your normal Christian life #2 we said it is

not suspending your intellect or disobeying your instincts,

waiting for audible voice of the Holy Spirit before you act with

discretion. It entails embracing Kingdom

lifestyle of Christ. That is what it simply means.

It doesn't mean that you must suspend your intellect or

disobey your instincts waiting for audible voice of the Holy

Spirit before you act with discretion.

And #3I emphasized very clearly that it is not an extra

spiritual requirement for a special class of believers.

You don't sit on the Pew of thinking that only those who

stand on the puppy to preach are supposed to be working in the

Spirit. Any other person OK who comes to

church can live their their kind of life.

No, walking in the spirit is not restricted to only the people on

the pulpit. It is not reserved for special

class of brethren. Oh, I don't belong to the prayer

warrior group so I don't cast out demon so I can live my

careless life. No, working in the spirit is not

an extras virtual requirement for a special class of

believers. It is the standard normal

Christian life. The standard normal Christian

life. And #4 you don't achieve it by

disconnecting from realities, so it doesn't mean you go and

embrace all realistics, which are fantasies such as cutting

off from friends and families. OK, because you want to live a

sanctimonious life and so you suspend your social life

completely. No, you have to be godly even in

your interaction with all the people, but that because you

want to work in the Spirit, you will not suspend social

interaction. It's not so #4 is like it.

It is not denying the social reality of your personality.

We all have our individual temperament, OK?

By the help of the Holy Spirit, the negative side of your

temperament, the Holy Spirit will draw your attention to it.

The only Spirit will help you to overcome those weaknesses, OK.

But for instance, if you are an extrovert OK and you know an

estrophat will be outspoken. What matter is that where you

walk in the spirit you will speak words that gives grace to

people seasoned with salt doesn't mean that the only will

not change you from somebody who expresses himself or herself to

somebody who will now be reserved.

God has a purpose. Why as why are you the way you

why are you praise the name of the Lord?

And so don't begin to look less spiritual, OK, because you

cannot just sit calm the way some quiet people will sit calm.

Quietness may not mean godliness.

Somebody can be so quiet and all manners of deadly things can be

going on in the heart of that person against a friend.

I might talk to somebody but he kept quiet if all manners of

evil imaginations. OK Oh he kept quiet and it's

more sinful to have all if we imagination in your heart.

OK, that somebody who is offended and immediately

expresses it and it ends there. Am I talking to somebody number

what number six is still like it.

It is not suppressing your emotion such as laughter and

grief. I cited an example of our Lord

Jesus Christ when his friend Lazarus died.

The scripture was very clear about it that Jesus wept.

But I do have our attention to it that the scripture didn't say

Jesus willed, he wept. OK, you don't do it in such a

way like somebody who is staging who is staging a drama.

Maybe there's a trophy for the person that we OK that that

cried the loudest cry or display the the biggest drama I could

die without. I went there when my own door

your own door in all manners of unsanctified words.

Just because you want to desire with somebody that is giving you

should not be. But certainly since you carry

blood in your own thing too. When something bad happened to

somebody, you saw empathy where it's where sympathy you saw it.

You feel for the other person, praise the name of the Lord.

So try to now both face it that people who are spiritual, OK,

you can't cry. No, even the writers do cry.

Praise the name of the Lord and #7 is that it is not putting up

a Pharisee attitude of external piety devoid of inner purity.

No, you have your fallacy attitude that claims to be

better than others, whereas you have your own look in your eyes

and you are trying to complain about the speck in your

brother's eye. So those were the issues we

looked at last week and for this week we want to examine

practical steps. So I'm going to be giving you

practical tit beats, hints or informations that will help you

to become very practical in working in the Spirit.

Number one, Or to start with, what are the basic understanding

that we need about this issue of working in the spirit #1 is that

not just any man can walk in the Spirit.

This is different from what I said last week, that it is the

standard normal Christian life. I'm not contradicting myself.

I just want you to understand me properly.

So not just any man can walk in the Spirit.

Romans 8 verse 7 says because the Cana mind is empty against

Romans 8:7

God, for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed

can be adverse age. So then they that are in the

flesh cannot please God. So not just any man can walk in

the Spirit. So not just any church goer can

claim he's already working in the Spirit.

Why? Because there are conditions

president to walking in the spirit.

So if you don't satisfy those precedent conditions, OK, you

you may be faking it. OK, right inside you, you know

that it is not really am I talking to somebody?

So that conditions President to walking in the Spirit.

So walking in the Spirit is an impossible task for the flesh #2

and that will begin to lead us to the reason why not just

anybody can walk in the spirit. You agree with me perfectly that

every child speak the language of his or immediate

environments. Hello.

If you if you're born an IBO boy into a Yoruba society, the

parents are not speaking Yoruba are not speaking IBO.

There are no IBO people around speaking IBO.

OK. The community where the child is

born to, they are predominantly speaking Yoruba naturally.

What do you think will happen to the child?

The child will speak Yoruba. So every child speak the

language of his or immediate environment.

In the same way, we are living in a world of wilderness and

sinners. So the first tendency for every

man is to also be a Sinner. Are you with me?

Apart from the fact that there is the inherited scene, the

Adamic nature in every man is there.

But to compound the matter, if you now live in a godless

society, OK, you just discover that you will just tag along.

You will Emily, for every child speaks the language of its

immediate environment. So what is known as the sinful

nature, which in other words is called carnality, which impede

our capacity to work in the spirit.

OK is both in it and environmental ice plane is in it

because every man born of a woman is a Sinner for all I've

seen and I've come sort of the glory of God.

So there is the same nature in every man that we inherited from

Father Adam and it's been passed from generation to generation.

So there's the that innate sin in every man.

Then couple with the fact that the society is full of

ungodliness. So the sinful nature that

everybody carries that endow us from walking in the Spirit is

both in it. It's also environmental.

Hence it is natural for the flesh to disobey the Spirit.

So if you walk in the Spirit, certainly there are certain

things you must do intentionally, there are certain

things you must do volitionally, there are certain decisions you

must make. And when those precedent

conditions are yet to be satisfied, working in the spirit

will be very difficult. Am I talking to somebody?

Galatians chapter 5. Let's look at 2 verses there, 16

Galatians 5 · chapter mention

and 17. This I say then walk in the

Spirit. So now this instruction is an

instruction served, that you must take this step.

Walk in the Spirit. I yet shall not fulfill the loss

of the flesh, for the flesh losted against the Spirit.

You see, our being is in a constant battle.

Our being is what's in the constant battle.

Whether you realize it or you don't realize it, that there are

two different things. The flesh, OK, is lost in

against the spirit is the reason the scripture says sometimes the

spirit is willing but the body is weak.

There's a prompting in your spirit to pray OK, but there's

also another whisper that is to go and sleep.

So our being is always in a constant battle between the

flesh and the spirit and the spirit against the flesh.

And these are contrary the one to the other, the flesh and the

spirit. OK, They they are two parallel

lines that never meet. One is competing to suppress the

other. Am I talking to somebody so that

you cannot do the things that you would so several?

You make up your mind that this is what I want to do, but at the

end of the day you are not able to do it.

Why? Because the spirit and the

flesh, they are in constant battle.

Can we move on #3 Because of this constant battle, you will

discover that disobedience is in the nature of the flesh.

Disobedience is inherent in the flesh.

Is the reason they will put an inscription on a freshly painted

wall. OK, wet paints do not touch.

You will not discover that by the reason of that instruction,

do not touch. You will have passed OK if that

description was not there, but now that description do not

touch, is there, the temptation to touch will not be.

So I will now go there and touch.

Has it happened to you before? That is the weakness of the law.

Hello. The law can only serve

instruction. It cannot give the power to you

to be. The law will tell you the crime

and when you are where you go against the law.

OK, it will label you as a criminal, but the law can never

justify you another. Does he give you the power or

the ability to obey instruction? So in the nature of every man,

or in the nature of every man, is the capacity to disobey, the

willingness to disobey, because we are in the flesh.

Romans 8. Let's take 2 verses there too.

For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the

flesh, but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the

spirit. For to be carnally minded is

dead, but to be spiritually minded is life and words and

peace, but that which will give us life and peace is the one we

find difficult to submit to. So the flesh has its native

attitude. And what is the native attitude

of the flesh? Canality.

That's what I suppose to say. The native attitude, the natural

attitude of the flesh is carnality.

To disobey, to do the wrong things, to hit the forbidden

things, hello, to put on the unacceptable attitude, to be

rebellious, all these are the attitude of the flesh.

And this is so because any tree will grow wide.

I mean, we grow wide branches that must be constantly prone by

the husband man. If you plant any tree, OK, as

long as photosynthesis is taking place, sunlight is available

where dew is is available, and that is space.

You see that the tree will be developing on on all sides.

So it's also in the nature of man to be white.

It's in the nature of man to live a life that is not checked,

a life that is not under control.

A life that whatever I want to do, I would do.

Whatever I want to have, I will have.

Whatever I want to eat, I should eat.

Whatever I want to go, I should go.

No control. So as far as the flesh is

concerned, it cannot submit to God on his own.

The flesh can never decide one day and say, let me go and

submit to God. It cannot do it.

So what is the solution? The solution is not trying

harder in the flesh. We are trying harder in the

flesh. You just discovered that it's

mere religion that will not help you.

The solution is relying on the Holy Spirit.

Relying on the Holy Spirit. Thank God for moral upbringing.

The best that the moral upbringing can do, or the best

that moral upbringing can do, is to suppress the flesh.

It cannot tame the flesh. Moral upbringing cannot subdue

the flesh. By moral upbringing you will now

discover that what is bad that you should not do.

You avoid doing it in the public, but you end up doing it

in the secrets. Am I talking to somebody?

Oh, marital fidelity? Yes, you have one wife, but many

secrets are chick that we are hiding somewhere.

So it is the moral standard of your society that is making you

not to multiply wives, Are you understanding what I'm saying?

Ditto for some alcoholic individual, including people

preaching on the pulpit. So they will not go to be a

parlour to go and drink, OK, I went.

When you enter their living room or their kitchen, you will not

find the alcoholic drink there. But there is a small

refrigerator inside their bedroom.

So they do their own drinking inside their bedroom.

So morale bringer has helped them not to be doing it

publicly, OK, but it cannot help them OK to avoid it completely.

Am I talking to somebody? So the flesh can submit to God

on its own. So the solution to tame the

flesh is not in try harder in the flesh.

It is relying on the Holy Spirit.

Moral training can only suppress the flesh, it cannot subdue it.

So moral training, I'm not saying it's not necessary, it's

not important, I'm not saying it's not helpful.

But we must also identify the weakness of moral bringing.

Moral training is a palliative that is only supportive to the

Holy Spirit. To me, I call that a palliative

that is supportive to the Holy Spirit.

But for you to rely completely or moral or bringing to subdue

the flesh, it doesn't have that capacity.

Say I need the Holy Spirit, I can't hear you.

Well, Galatians 5, let's take 2 verses from that passage too.

And then our Christs have crucified the flesh with the

affections and lost. You know I said not just any man

can walk in the Spirit. That was our starting point,

that was our entry point. Not just any man can walk in the

Spirit because there are conditions president to it.

They are prerequisites. So I am beginning to see now

what are the prerequisites, he said.

And they that are Christ have crucified the flesh.

So you must belong to Christ before you can crucify the flesh

with the affections and laws. That was why after Apostle Paul

met the Lord Jesus Christ, he said all those things that he

counted as game, all those things he counted as player, all

those things that were his pride, He now regarded them as

dunks. They no longer matter to him.

Praise the name of the Lord. If we live in the Spirit, let us

also work in the spirits. Now to drive this issue deeper

for clearer understanding, let me draw a few analogies for us 1

parents that are in the house. Was there any time you

intentionally sit down? Your child?

That my child, this is how to lie and cover hope where you do

the wrong things, as are my parents.

Such periods don't belong here. Am I talking to somebody?

Well, if you want to ask yourself, even before your child

starts to go to school to be influenced by friends, they

already lie and doing things and comfortable.

So who taught them the sinful nature?

Am I talking to somebody? Because the sinful nature is

inherent in every man. So a parent need not make any

deliberate effort to teach a child all the wrong things.

In fact, they will do some wrong things.

And you begin to wonder and, you know, begin you you become

worried and concerned. People let you, Cockney.

But let it be really well. Or what?

I let it back. Cosillo.

Yeah. Cosillo.

Baba. Cosillo.

So apparently not make any deliberate effort to teach a

child all the wrong things. So without intentionally

training the child, a child on his or her own can learn.

Not only learn, can also invent all the wrong things.

Because the worst of us come from inside of us, not for the

things around us. The worst part of a man is

inside that man is not in on his look.

That's why a man can look completely gentle and is the

worst criminal running guns. Where is the charitable man

around Is the best uncle around that Some people will even want

to say, I want my child to be mentored by this uncle.

But when the news now comes out, I will now discover that is a

hard drug dealer is running girl, if you say you know Jio,

are you connecting with me? So to instill good conduct in

the child, the parent must be intentional about it.

So the other one that is wrong OK is in their nature is also

present in their environment. They will pick it up.

But if one good outcome spiritually and morally from

your child, you must be intentional about instilling the

right values, the right values, communicating ethical standard

to them and demonstrating it to them.

You have to be intentional about it.

We are broadcasting more. The reason why working in the

spirit doesn't come natural. It doesn't come what's natural.

There are conditions president to it.

If those conditions are not satisfied, it becomes difficult

to work in the spirit. Let's move from human Kingdom to

even animal Kingdom. Do you know that no animal chose

to be a pet? Go and check it all those animal

you now find in our homes and we keep them as pet.

They didn't choose to be a pet. Somebody brought them home at a

point at A at a very long time in history and released them.

In fact, in modern time there are some of them that they have

to carry out, some about technological activity on their

own moon and other tendencies OK to subdue them so that they can

become domesticated. Otherwise that wide nature is in

every man to range around. So no animal chose to be a pet.

It is by the deliberate effort of man that will not have

domestic animals. What does that suggest?

If you leave the natural man to himself, without the Holy

Spirit, every man is capable of doing the unthinkable.

Did you hear that? Some of you, you only need a

push by an ungodly friend and you do things and people say,

yeah, so you have the capacity to do this manner of evil.

So if you leave the natural man to himself, he won't come to

church to hear the word of God, he won't attend Bible study, he

won't read his Bible. OK, Leave the natural man to

him. Say, without the Holy Spirit,

every man is capable of doing the unthinkable.

I'll give you the example of Moses, regarded as the meekest

man, but in the moment of anger he misbehaved and he provoked

God. Are you with me?

Has it not happened that a lady that you think is the best kind

of wife, that any man we pray for his for, for his son.

Are you with me? And then suddenly you hear that

the lady got provoked and stabbed the husband.

I begin to worry when they say I can't believe no sister.

So, so, so, so. No, no, no, no, no, no.

She's too quiet to do that. It happens because you leave

every man to himself. Without the help of the Holy

Spirit. Every man can do the

unthinkable. So we find mostly the meekest

man, just in a moment of anger he misbehave to the degree that

God said I can't take this. Someone who says 2 verses again

32 and 33. They angered him also at the

water of strife. If you read another person

called the water of Meribah, so that it went I'll with Moses for

their sakes, because they provoke his spirit.

So that is back on adversely with his lips.

OC so so because the tendency to be canna is in every man except

we are helped by the Holy Spirit.

I put an example to you something the strongest man we

are like his own weakness. He will not control his liberal

inordinate affection. Achieve in him what the entire

army of the Philistine could not achieve.

Please take note of this, it will help you to watch.

Appeal to the flesh is a general weapon the devil uses against

all men. So when did they want to get you

down? When the devil want to attack

you spiritually, when the devil want to make you lose focus of

heaven, when the devil want to make you lose your grip of

Christ. I start to live the carnal life.

What it does is to appeal to your flesh, to Pompey your

flesh, to massage your flesh, and the moment you submit, you

are gone. May the Lord make you strong and

resist whenever the devil is appealing to your flesh in the

name of Jesus. Now, what are the practical

steps of victory over the works of the flesh?

Now down to spelling out the precedent conditions.

To walk in the spirit #1 you need salvation.

You need salvation and you achieve that by being born

again. And when you get born again it

position your spirit to obey the dictates of the Holy Spirit.

Before you got born again. You are far away from listening

and obeying the voice of the Holy Spirit.

But the moment you got born again, one of the things that

takes place spiritually is a repositioning.

You have been far away from God. Now you are drunk closer to God.

You have been living outside the room of God.

Now you are brought into the bedroom of God.

That's what been born again does to you.

Are you with me? So you are reposition OK to have

access to the Holy Spirit. So what to contribute to your

salvation? It's your realization of your

sinful nature. So the attitude that everybody

is a Sinner and therefore I can constantly know they will not be

there. You accept that yes, I'm a

sinful person and I'm helpless over this sinful nature, but

there is one that can help me. Let me go and join myself to the

one that can help me. So your contribution to the

salvation of your soul is the acceptance of your sinful nature

and willingness to assess the earth that Calvary has provided.

So therefore you have a desire to change.

So that desire to change is there, not the deceptive

attitude. I will confess my sin on Sunday.

OK, then I will start to say another set of sin from Monday

to Saturday, A desire for a permanent change, not making

mockery of the provision of forgiveness, because God cannot

be deceived whatsoever. A man saw it, the scripture said

that is what he will read. Can we move on now?

Having satisfied that condition of salvation of your soul, you

now need commitment to sanctification.

Salvation is positional. Sanctification is transitional.

I don't say transactional, I said transitional.

So what's your hand? Once the ticket of salvation is

handed over to you, how do you keep it?

As you are making progress, you must embrace sanctification

because you are not safe to stand in the same position.

You are safe after which you start to make spiritual

progress, but to stay on the track.

It is sanctification that will keep you on the track as you

journey home. So you need commitment to

sanctification by expressing your willingness to always

cooperate with the Holy Spirit who will do the work.

You know, we said it's not by try harder that you overcome the

flesh. It's not by try harder that you

overcome carnality. The way you overcome carnality

is by relying on the Holy Spirit.

So this, the beginning of your sanctification, is your

willingness to cooperate with the Holy Spirit to work in you

to and work on you. You see, as salvation, you did

not contribute more than believing in your heart and

confessing with your mouth to be saved.

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be

saved. That settles it.

So in your heart you believe unto righteousness, with your

mouth to confess unto salvation. That's Roman 1010 paraphrase.

But it doesn't end there. You are on a journey.

You will make it. You are a Pickering.

You will not fall by the wayside in the name of Jesus.

Now for this, let me bring another analogy that will help

you to appreciate the concept better.

You see our salvation. What happened to you can be

likened to starting a car that has been well serviced.

No, when a car has been well serviced, the battery is good,

there is fuel inside. Everything about the car is is

number 1. You know that you did not

manufacture the car, somebody has put the fuel inside it then

be an automatic car as soon as you start it, it is ready to

move once you engage the gear. But you know that if you start a

car and it's the engine is running and you don't engage the

gear, will it move? Answer me.

So salvation is like you are, you have started a car that is

sound, that can move but it will not move if you don't engage the

gear. So being an automatic car, as

soon as you start it is ready to move once you engage the car

that made the gear. Now after you engage the gear,

it will move, will it not? But not in an accelerated mood.

Once we engage the gear, if it's an arithmetic wire, it will move

on its own accord, but the movement will not be in an

accelerated mood except you press Is it the turtle or what

do you call it now? So you will need to press the

turtle for the movement to be accelerated.

So starting the car is is salvation, pressing the tortue

is sanctification. Not only that, the movement of

the car must be tailored is the reason every car has with

steering. You start the car, you engage

the gear. OK.

It will move on its own accord in the direction it is facing.

Are you with me? And if it's reverse, you put it

still in that direction, it will it will be moving when you press

the torto. Pressing the torto does not

change the direction, but it may not be heading in the right

direction. It may be heading towards danger

is the reason there is what this the this channel.

So the whist channel is the reason the car is not just going

in any direction but in the specific or directed direction.

So in the same manner, without the Holy Spirit, a born again

child of God will misbehave. So you can be born again and you

see misbehave if you don't allow the Holy Spirit to pilot the

affairs of your life. That brings us to Romans 814.

As many as are laid by the Spirit of God, they are the sons

of God. So your salvation, therefore, is

preserved or sustained by sanctification.

Your salvation is preserved by sanctification and

sanctification, like I said, is submitted to the Holy Spirit to

help you live the Kingdom life. So where you sustain in

sanctification? You, it will help you to easily

cooperate with the Holy Spirit. Hello, a sanctified mind, OK?

It's the only kind of mind that can cooperate with the Holy

Spirit. So sustained sanctification is

not achievable outside obedience to the Word of God and the

assistance of the Holy Spirit. So it was to say your

sanctification. Then there must be obedience to

the Word of God. And then you must also rely on

the assistance of the Holy Spirit.

So to work in the Spirit, you must accept salvation.

That is a free offer. You must receive the Holy

Spirit. But let me make it clear, a very

strong clarification here. If you understand what we are

teaching, you will know that you don't receive the Holy Spirit

just to speak in tongue, and it ends there.

Speaking in tongue is only the commonest evidence of the

baptism of the Holy Spirit. It is not the only evidence.

In fact, it's not the most reliable evidence.

Are you with me? It is what the commonest.

Even when you study Acts of the Apostle where we have records of

baptism of the Holy Spirit, it's only in few places that the

Bible say they receive the Holy Spirit are not mentioned at the

speaking. They speak in tongue.

So it is the commonest evidence, but it's not the only evidence.

In fact, personally, I don't take it as the most reliable.

The most reliable evidence is the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

So if instantaneous when we minister the Holy Spirit to you,

OK, and you speak in tongues, we will be glad that you have

exercised the situational or the immediate evidence as a

disciple. We will now begin to watch out.

Are you listening to me? Is this still real or fake?

So what we prove to us is this real is where you begin to

manifest the fruit of the Spirit.

But if it is just the speaking in tongue, OK, you can still use

that same tongue to cause conveniently.

You can still use that same tongue to lie conveniently.

That's not checking your spirit. I refuse to accept your speaking

in tongue as a correct one. So let's stop.

Let's stop deceiving ourselves. The commonest evidence,

instantaneous evidence. It gladdens our hearts OK, But

we will watch what follows the way you the day you plant a seed

is not that same day, OK? You will have first the fruits.

So the most level evidence is the fruit of the Holy Spirit.

But let me still make this second clarification.

Speaking in tongue is a necessity for spiritual warfare.

I told you that in our being OK, we are constantly in spiritual

warfare. The flesh is warning against the

Spirit. The Spirit is warning against

the flesh, one of the spiritual instrument.

You used to fight the battles by speaking in tongues.

Because sometimes you just have been prompted to speak in

tongues and you start to speak in tongues and before you know

what is happening, you have escaped a danger.

Sometimes as a prompting you to speak in tongues.

And as you are speaking in tongue, before you know what's

happening, few days after, you'll be exposed to a

temptation you will not know that you have, you will not know

why you escape because you do not prepare for it.

But the tongue you spoke last week, the tongue you spoke in

the morning when you were praying, as prepare you to pray

against the unseen. Are you with me?

So it's a necessity because we are constantly in spiritual

warfare and most of the warfare we are, they are unknown to us.

So it's a necessity for spiritual warfare.

Every believer is in constant warfare.

But don't let our baptism of the Holy Spirit, our engagement of

the Holy Spirit, start ahead with only speaking in tongue.

Let that Holy Spirit we have received walk on us, walk in US,

and make us a change person bearing the fruits of the

Spirit. So to walk in the Spirit as we

draw the curtain on this topic this morning, you must commit to

progressive sanctification, Commit towards progressive

sanctification, commit to aggressive prayer, including

praying in tanks. Three, get addicted to reading

the Word of God and obeying it. So in a timely scale or not

sure, working in the Spirit require your cooperation and you

must equally take deliberate steps.

Walk in the Spirit is an instruction is not a promise.

What in the Spirit is a precept is not a prophecy.

What in the Spirit are you will not fulfill the desires of the

flesh. So it's a demand on you to be

deliberate, to be intentional about your relationship with

your Maker. Philidor chapter 2 2 verses

again to seal or sum it up. Philippines chapter 2 verse 12

and 13. Wherefore my beloved, as you

have always obey, I pray that I will be able to say this about

you. I pray that the only people we

able to say this about me that as I have always obeyed.

What is your testimony? If you ask your pastor, OK, can

you say you have always obeyed when they pick on your parents?

OK, to ask about you, to give an attestation about you, Will I be

able to say as you have always obeyed?

One of the parameter by which walking in the street is mayor

is through the parameter of obedience, Obedience to the word

of God, obedience to authority, obedience to instruction.

Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my

presence only you know this is a level beyond Mora.

Mora that only care about public image, whereas the private life

is. Rodney, I cited examples to you

of how Mora can be so weak in making the man to tame the

flesh. Mora we make him to not drink in

the public but will be drinking in his bedroom.

Mora we make him not to multiply wife, but if we keep multiple

side things in every city you always go to for vacation.

But keep it away from public knowledge.

Not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence.

Work out your own salvation so you have a path.

So what's going to say here? Work.

Actual salvation. It doesn't mean you will get

salvation by work. But like I said, at that point,

when you get the salvation, you are moving on.

You must be committed to sanctification.

So that work OK is sanctification.

With fear I watch, trembling. What they say, what they say I

know movement once the password about born in about Boko, for it

is God which worketh in you both to win and to do of his good

player. So I have not preached religion,

I have no preservation by work, but I have prayed to you how you

can cooperate with the Holy Spirit to bring out the best

that God wants you to be, to bring you to that level whereby

you are you can become like Christ.

To bring you to that level whereby obeying the Word of God

will no longer be a struggle, whereby you will not just be

suppressing the same nature, but by the Holy Spirit you will

subdue the flesh and walk in the Spirit.

God bless you and grant you great grace to walk in the

Spirit in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah.

We believe you'll be blessed by the ministry of this message.

You will do well to be the doer of all you've heard.
