________________________________________
Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do. For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live.- Romans 8:12-13(NLT)
PUT TO DEATH THE SINFUL NATURE
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you put to death the sinful nature
You will begin to grow fast and mature
Do not follow your inclination to sin
Let the Spirit control you so you can win.
You’ll be victorious if you listen to the Spirit
He will live in your heart if you allow him
Keep your hearts pure so you’ll feel his presence
Be filled with the Spirit and you will never be bent.
________________________________________
We always have a tendency to follow our nature which likes to satisfy its desires or cravings, thus, we become bent or crooked. We see things in the natural rather than the supernatural. The bible says that we are not just physical but also spirit beings. When we live only in the physical, our spirits suffer. The apostle Paul stresses the importance of putting to death our sinful nature which is in the natural. We need to feed our spirit God’s truth that it needs so that we don’t need to follow our natural instincts alone, but also what the Spirit is saying.

PRAYER
Lord help me to overcome my natural instincts and follow the Spirit.
REFLECTION
Why do we need to keep our hearts pure and feed on God’s word?

Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people’s faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them. Such people are not serving Christ our Lord. They are serving their own personal interests. –Romans 16:17-18 (NLT)
SERVE ONLY CHRIST
A poem and essay by ILMA
Seek the truth that comes from God’s word
It will protect you from the wickedness of the world
Watch out for those who upset people’s faith and cause divisions
They serve their own purpose and thrive in conflicts and deception.
Serve only Christ who is the only way to life
Being in the word will expose the enemy’s lies
Stay away from people who do not serve Christ
They’ll drag you down and turn you from God’s insight.
There are so many counterfeits these days. They mislead people from knowing the truth. The enemy has blinded those who do not believe in God and kept them from enjoying life and having peace. Satan is the father of lies (John 8:44) and he will do anything to keep people in the dark so that they won’t have a relationship with God. The bible warns us against those who cause divisions and those who upset people’s faith by teaching counterfeit teachings contrary to truth. We are to stay away from them since they do not serve Christ. They come to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10).
PRAYER
Lord, guard me from counterfeits.
REFLECTION
How can we combat the enemy’s tricks?
