Topic : Dealing With Self.

Memory Verse :Romans 8:28. We know that in all things God works for good with those who love him, those whom he has called according to his purpose.

Bible Reading :Romans 8:25-27 GNB. Key Verse : v26.

But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. In the same way the Spirit also comes to help us, weak as we are. For we do not know how we ought to pray; the Spirit himself pleads with God for us in groans that words cannot express. And God, who sees into our hearts, knows what the thought of the Spirit is; because the Spirit pleads with God on behalf of his people and in accordance with his will.

Salvation is a rare commodity found only on the shelves of the Almighty. You can never have access to the shelves of the almighty outside his chosen way who is Jesus Christ himself. Our salvation becomes complete when we meet him on the last day. Before then we navigate the terrain of life and faith sustained by hope. This hope is anchored on our convictions of whom God is and what he intends to achieve in us and with us. We have to note that what he is able achieve deep inside us which depends on our yielded-ness is a determinant factor to what he will be able to achieve through our lives. This hope survives the test of time when it is built on the solid ground of patience.

Now, the worst enemy of man in his dealings with God is self. Self is the greatest obstacle that stands between us and God’s purpose for our lives. God’s interest in all his dealings with man from the beginning is tied to his purpose. Sadly anyone living for self will not have time to find out God’s purpose for his life, as to align or function in it. Even when they know, they can’t pursue such plan effectively. Self is that dimension of us that wants to be seen and recognised, not minding how God feels or what he expects from us as individuals and as a people. A good example of a show of self is found in project tower of Babel in Genesis 11:1-4, where men was in agreement to undertake a very loudable project, but their intentions was wrong. Their motive was centered on making a name for themselves instead of fulfilling the purpose of God. That was the reason God had to stop them by confusing their language.

This day and season, we need to rediscover purpose anywhere we feel confused about it. There’s need to jettison all forms of self that stands against the move of the Spirit in our lives and situations. We should allow the Spirit to lead us as true sons and daughters. Many are attempting to lead the way, because they are not allowing the Spirit to take control of their affairs. That has caused them much struggle as their plans and moves are contrary to God’s plan and purpose for their lives. They are like men walking against the tide of the Spirit instead of mounting on His wings by surrendering. As for the Almighty, he will always be true to himself. His Spirit is always there to help us as much as we give him room. The day we learn to operate from the center of God’s will for our lives, most of our struggles will disappear, because he is always there to help, when we choose the path of obedience. “You jealously want what others have so you begin to see yourself as better than others. You scheme with envy and harm others to selfishly obtain what you crave—that’s why you quarrel and fight. And all the time you don’t obtain what you want because you won’t ask God for it! And if you ask, you won’t receive it for you’re asking with corrupt motives, seeking only to fulfill your own selfish desires.” James 4:2-3 TPT.

Prayer :Thank you Father God because your plan and purpose for my life is good. Help me to do away with every form of self and pursuits that stands on the way of your glorious plan and purpose for my life. Holy Spirit, take over my life and lead me in the paths you desire in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
