The Power Of Your MindA Book Review #6 (Chapter 5)Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
The Carnal Mind Vs. The Spiritual Mind
(Study Romans 8:5)
Those who are after the Spirit set their minds on spiritual things. That's what you're doing by reading this [article]. Your attention is on spiritual things concerning God, His son Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and the Kingdom of God.
Now, there are Christians who wouldn't be interested in this or any other kind of spiritual pursuit. They'd rather set their minds and attention on worldly [carnal] things, more appealing to the flesh.
The carnal mind is the mind that has been trained to only recognise, appreciate and desire worldly things that have no spiritual benefits. Those who set their minds on carnal things programme themselves for spiritual death (Study Romans 8:6).
How do you live your life? Do you live according to your senses and the things that appeal to your outward man? If you live that way, you can't please God (Study: Romans 8:8).
If you're born again, your spirit is alive to God. You're not in the flesh but in the spirit, because God's Spirit dwells in you. You'll remain alive in Christ with the life He's given you.
NB:
We invite you to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life by praying thus:
"O Lord God, I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He's alive today.
I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His name, I have eternal life; I'm born again. Thank you Lord, for saving my soul! I'm now a child of God. Hallelujah!"
Congratulations! you're now a child of God. For more information, join a Christ Embassy Church nearest to you. God bless you.
