Topic : Building A Stronger Relationship.
Memory Verse : Philippians 3:1. My beloved ones, don’t ever limit your joy or fail to rejoice in the wonderful experience of knowing our Lord Jesus! I don’t mind repeating what I’ve already written you because it protects you—
Bible Reading : Philippians 3:2-4 TPT. Key Verse : v3.
beware of those religious hypocrites who teach that you should be circumcised to please God. For we have already experienced “heart-circumcision,” and we worship God in the power and freedom of the Holy Spirit, not in laws and religious duties. We are those who boast in what Jesus Christ has done, and not in what we can accomplish in our own strength. It’s true that I once relied on all that I had become. I had a reason to boast and impress people with my accomplishments—more than others—for my pedigree was impeccable.
Because God himself is a Spirit and father of all spirits, men that want to relate with him therefore must upgrade to his level as to enjoy the best of him. Nobody standing in the flesh and what it has to offer can be able to reach God. This is because the flesh is prone to weakness and therefore will never agree with the Spirit. We only bring the flesh under control, so that our spirit man can be able to reach out to God to receive from him. “For the mind-set of the flesh is death, but the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace. In fact, the mind-set focused on the flesh fights God’s plan and refuses to submit to his direction, because it cannot! For no matter how hard they try, God finds no pleasure with those who are controlled by the flesh. But when the Spirit of Christ empowers your life, you are not dominated by the flesh but by the Spirit. And if you are not joined to the Spirit of the Anointed One, you are not of him.” Romans 8:6-9.
The transaction of salvation and God’s plan for the believer goes beyond ceremonies and things that ends on the body. Because the first experiment in the flesh failed, he had to go the spirit of man this time. What God desires is to leave a seal on our spirit man by the help of his own Spirit that incubates us. In the old covenant that God had with Moses and the people of Israel, the emphasis was on circumcision of the flesh as a mark of ownership. But in our days, his emphasis has shifted from the flesh because it profits nothing, to our spirit which has capacity to connect to God and walk with him in synergy to carry out his purpose here on earth. “Now Christ lives his life in you! And even though your body may be dead because of the effects of sin, his life-giving Spirit imparts life to you because you are fully accepted by God. Yes, God raised Jesus to life! And since God’s Spirit of Resurrection lives in you, he will also raise your dying body to life by the same Spirit that breathes life into you!” Romans 8:10-11
Men who get the best of our new life in Christ are those that place much value on what happens between them and their maker by the help of his Spirit. Such men make sacrifices where necessary to access every inheritance, made available to men in Christ through knowledge. “May grace and peace be yours in full measure through your knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. God’s divine power has given us everything we need to live a truly religious life through our knowledge of the one who called us to share in his own glory and goodness. In this way he has given us the very great and precious gifts he promised, so that by means of these gifts you may escape from the destructive lust that is in the world, and may come to share the divine nature.” 2 Peter 1:2-4 GNB.
