TITLE: “Guided by the SPIRIT”
INSPIRATION: Living by the POWER of the Spirit of God!
Galatians 5:16 “So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves.”
We are no longer under the captivity of the law, we have been crucified through faith in Christ Jesus, we have already been delivered, no longer bound! Halleluyah! However, to live by the Spirit of God is a choice; this is different from the fact that the Spirit of God already lives inside of us. He lives in you but you still have to choose to live under His power. As you know, some prefer to be led and directed by the flesh, by worldly wisdom, money or man but the passage today says “LET the HolySpirit guide your life”. “LET” here is an option. There are numerous advantages of letting the HolySpirit guide you; one powerful reason is, when sin, trials and temptations come, you will overcome and not find yourself doing what you ought not to do!
Apostle Paul said in Romans 7:19”For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do”. But, you know what, God has delivered us already; he delivered us through the blood of Jesus Christ, He gave us the HolySpirit to do what is good and not evil. The flesh, the law and worldly wisdom cannot save you from the hands of sin, neither can human effort, only the Spirit of God can deliver you. Galatians 5:24 “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there”. Sin no longer has dominion over you, it was nailed to the cross; now, make the choice to live by the Spirit of God.
Sin takes you away from God’s presence and drifts us away from our inheritance. We cannot afford to lose His power in the times that we live in. Endeavour to be guided by the Spirit of God daily. The End time is here. Choose the guidance of the Spirit of God!
