I greet all in the majestic and wonderful name of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, this is a watchman call to all who have ears to hear; “For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.” (Romans 8:6-7)
Therefore remember whose
eyes and ears are fixed on the wrong priorities will be in danger of missing
the obvious warning signs we are and will continue to witness in upcoming
events. Remember the parable of the virgins and their lamps? Are you ready? We
all need to get our morning fix of our beloved Saviour, and this must become
our priority. This should be a no-brainer, however, the world with all its
lures so often can distract. Hence the reason to nail home the truth of God's
word; “For to set the mind on
the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the
flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it
cannot.” Everything about your life will now look for wiggle room, justification
for why it needs to happen. It’s time to fine-tune the dial, cut out the noise
and remove the static, if not we have been warned. What will it be? Provision for
the flesh and all that comes with that or will we seek out God’s grace with a sincere
heart to focus on the Spirit of God, in simplified words, will our focus be on
heavenly things?
I have
purposefully not highlighted specifics, because if you are a child of God you
will know what needs doing. Save to say this; the option we face daily, do we put on the mind of
Christ or do we look to our carnal abilities to overcome the day? The voices out
there will get louder and begin to single out the Christian (the true
Christian), we will have a choice to shrink into a corner or find grace to be
bold for our God and King. It will be jail time for some and even eventually death, but we are
not quite there yet.
Blessing
to all who love and hallowed the name of our great God…
I’ll leave with words of our beloved Saviour;
“So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge
before my Father who is in heaven, but whoever
denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.”
(Matthew 10:32-33)
