TOPIC: LIVING AS A BELIEVER: Example In SPIRIT (5)
MEMORY VERSE:
1 Timothy 4:11.
“11. These things command and teach.”
BIBLE READING:
1 Timothy 4:12.
“12. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, conversation, in charity, in SPIRIT…”
Thinking Point:
The life of a believer should not be lived in carnality but living in and by the spirit of God.
May the Spirit of God,as at the creation, move over our life to achieve what we are created for in Jesus name, Amen.
To be called a believer is to be called the “Son of God”, and without the spirit of God, we can’t be a genuine believer. To live in the spirit simply means being led by the spirit of God. The spirit of God is the reason for easiness for believers, a good example of a believer is one who is led by the spirit in all ways.
Apostle Paul said in Romans 8:13-14,
“13. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.”
“14. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
Believers who still live by the flesh aren’t an example to the world, we are to mortify the flesh, subdue the flesh to live by the Spirit of God, then can we be led and live in spirit in order to be an example to the world. Have we surrendered to the Spirit of God wholly? Do we live by the spirit? Then, can we be called an example of the believer who lives in the Spirit? To win others to Christ we have to be obedient to the spirit at all times. I pray today, that grace to submit totally to the leading of the spirit rest upon us all in Jesus name, Amen.
