Topic : Life In The Spirit And Faith.
Memory Verse : 2 Corinthians 5:7. for we live by faith, not by what we see with our eyes.
Bible Reading : 2 Corinthians 5:4-6 TPT. Key Verse : v5.
So, while living in this “tent,” we groan under its burden, not because we want to die but because we want these new bodies. We crave for all that is mortal to be swallowed up by eternal life. And this is no empty hope, for God himself is the one who has prepared us for this wonderful destiny. And to confirm this promise, he has given us the Holy Spirit, like an engagement ring, as a guarantee. That’s why we’re always full of courage. Even while we’re at home in the body, we’re homesick to be with the Master—
Knowing Jesus and being with him gives a man capacity to experience life in full measure. The real life of a man is in his spirit. The body we carry around is just a housing of the two most important components of a man, the soul and spirit. When we finish our earthly assignment, we drop the housing and move on to another realm of existence beyond the ordinary eyes. Because life in this physical realm or world is temporal, the word of God does not lay too much emphasis on it. The physical body is referred to here by Apostle Paul as a tent or make shift housing. This housing is subject to all kinds wear and tear, weaknesses and limitations that we have to guard it carefully against damages or harmful exposure so that it can last. “because we don’t focus our attention on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but the unseen realm is eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18.
Wise men or men that get the best of God are those whose priorities are arranged in a manner that they place much value on things that benefit their spirit man or things ordinary eyes can’t see because such things stand the test of time. Unlike hings that add value only to our body alone which are are good, but once we leave the body for eternity, it becomes useless as the body is committed to mother earth. However, things that benefit or build up our spiirt man are relevant in this present life and after. Such things themselves are regulated by the Spirit of God given to us as a mark or seal of ownership from his presence. “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.” Galatians 4:4-6.
Now the currency by which spiritual things are traded is faith. Every man who obtained a good report with God walked in faith. Faith has to do with those commodities that the physical eyes cannot see because they are divine properties originating from the father of all spirits. Yet such unseen things are empowered by God to control those things that the eyes can see, which means that they are of superior value. “He was then almost 100 years old; but his faith did not weaken when he thought of his body, which was already practically dead, or of the fact that Sarah could not have children. His faith did not leave him, and he did not doubt God’s promise; his faith filled him with power, and he gave praise to God. He was absolutely sure that God would be able to do what he had promised. That is why Abraham, through faith, “was accepted as righteous by God”” Romans 4:19-22.
Prayer :Thank you Father God because you are a Spirit, yet you created me live for you. Help me to understand myself as a spirit being. Let my life align with you in faith for the good and great things you have in stock for here and after this life in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Acts 15:1-21.
