ONLY THE SPIRITUAL MAN CAN UNDERSTAND SPIRITUAL THINGS

 For taking your time to study remain blessed. 

TOPIC: ONLY THE SPIRITUAL MAN CAN UNDERSTAND SPIRITUAL THINGS August Wednesday 12th

TEXT: 1 Corinthians 2:10-13

KEY VERSE: 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 


You need to be in the spirit to understand the things of God. Even now that we are saying Jesus Christ will soon come, it takes a spiritual man to understand this language of the Spirit. Even as unfolding events in the world show clearly that the world is rounding off, it takes a spiritual man to understand this truth. The natural man cannot just understand. Tell a natural man, “Jesus is coming soon,” it will sound to him like you are speaking in a foreign language. He would say, “What are you talking about? All these years they have been saying Jesus is coming. Forget about that one!” That is the natural man for you. If it were a spiritual man, he will just be rejoicing, saying, “God you have brought me to the kind of place I have been longing for (HOREMOW). This is where the psalmist says, “I have been longing to appear before God in Jerusalem. My heart has been seeking it. I have been crying, ‘When will I appear before the Lord?’ When they say let us go to Jerusalem it is a great joy unto me.” That is a spiritual man. He understands the meaning of Jerusalem. He appreciates the presence of God that he would enjoy in Jerusalem. 


But the natural man will say, “Is this the kind of place you brought me for a conference? There isn’t enough food to eat. Where will I sleep? Why am I here? How long are we going to be here? I don’t think I can stay for 3-4 days.” That is a natural man for you. He cannot perceive the presence of God. All that matters to him is food and comfort. Whatever we are saying or doing here, whatever inspired messages are coming out here, he cannot understand, because he is not born again. He is not a spiritual man. The Lord seeks those that will worship Him in spirit and in truth. To you that feel inconvenient or uncomfortable by occasional inadequacies, I am saying God wants you to worship Him in spirit and to think less about the flesh. God wants you to receive and accept the word of God which is the food of life. God wants you to allow the Holy Spirit to have full access into your life so that you too can be brought to the level of refined and perfect understanding of spiritual matters. 


Thought for the day: Understanding comes by the Spirit of God.

Song for the day: Jesus the way, the truth and the life, whosoever cometh to Him shall never die

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 93-95; Romans 11:22-36

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
