Word
of Hope for Today by
Bro. Rolly Custodio
Growing
in the Combat Zone (Part-2)
“Make no provision for the flesh.” Ro 13:14
NAS
Today’s Insight
The second lesson we learn is;
The
attack from the flesh. Your most vulnerable
point is your “flesh,” which drives you to do your own thing. Its motto is
“It’s all about me!” From start to finish it “looks out for number one,” always
wanting to be “first in line.” That’s the genetic makeup of our flesh. And it can’t
be saved, sanctified, or spiritualized because “that which is born of the flesh
is flesh” (Jn 3:6 NKJV) and nothing else. “The Spirit and your desires are
enemies of each other. They are always fighting each other and keeping you from
doing what you feel you should” (Gal 5:17 CEV).
So
how do you control your “flesh”?
(1)
Make a choice. “Choose
today whom you will serve” (Jos 24:15 GWT). During the American Civil War
thousands of Yankee and Confederate soldiers were killed by “friendly fire.”
Why? Because they lacked uniforms that identified the side to which they
belonged. Be clear about which side you’re on, and let those around you know
it.
(2)
Cut the supply lines to the flesh. In war time generals devote a lot
of attention to blowing up bridges, highways, and railroads to deprive the
enemy of the vital supplies they need to win. Your flesh can’t control you if
you cut off its supply line. “Don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge
your evil desires“ (Ro 13:14 NLT).
(3)
Maintain regular communication with base command. Even
well-trained soldiers with the finest equipment and best officers can’t win
when they’re cut off from base command. So stay in touch: “Pray in the Spirit
at all times and on every occasion” (Eph 6:18 NLT).
Application:
If your flesh is too strong it pulls you away from the things of
God. Your spiritual life was overpowered by the flesh. You need to check yourself,
Our flesh eat three times a day and likewise our spiritual life should eat also
regularly about the foods of Spirit and that is by meditating the Word of God. To
put you in a right perspective, our life should never stop praying and
meditating the Word of God so that our spiritual life grow stronger than that
of the flesh. Our will or soul was dictated by these two aspects; When our
Spiritual life is too strong than our flesh then our soul or will follows the spiritual
side. So make up your mind to grow spiritually rather than motivated by flesh.
Today’s Prayer
