GIVER OF ETERNAL LIFE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you give much focus on human effort?
Do you pay more attention to God’s word?
Do achievements make you feel worthy?
The Spirit alone gives life and bring forth victory.
Human accomplishments are meaningless
The Spirit knows and aims always what’s best
Do not grieve the Spirit of God by deception
He alone leads you to you own redemption.

Do you believe every truth the word of God says? During the forty days of fasting of Jesus, the devil tempted him to turn the stones into bread. He replied to the devil that man does not live by bread alone but by the word that comes from the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4). Some believers do not totally believe all that comes from Scripture. I know someone who conveniently twist and take truth out of context to suit his comfort level. Some people like to change words that feels harsh or hard to face. They fix the word to make it easier for them.
The bible says that the Spirit alone gives eternal life. He alone also reveals truth and leads us to life everlasting. No human effort will be a passport to eternity. Only the Spirit of God grants it.

REFLECTION
Why does it grieve God’s spirit when you boast about your own efforts?

SPIRIT & LIFE
A poem and essay by ILMA
When we don’t have the spirit of God living in us
We usually seek approval, perform and lust
Human effort accomplishes nothing
It defies God’s power on everything.
The very words of God give us life
Believe him completely and you will have light
The spirit alone gives you victory and power
Without God’s spirit, we can’t make Satan cower.

I’ve spent many years of my Christian life doing works of the flesh. I performed to please others so I can look good. I was enslaved seeking approval from people who don’t even believe in God. I chased human knowledge so that I would appear intelligent so people can look up to me and respect me. I did it all wrong. God convicted me of all these human effort. He wanted me to listen to his Spirit.
The bible tells us that the Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing and that the words of God is his spirit and life. All of Scriptures have the purpose of correcting, rebuking, guiding and teaching us. Without the truth that comes from God’s word, our lives will be dead and we won’t have the spirit alive in us.
PRAYER
Lord, please come live in my heart.
REFLECTION
Cite an instance when you can say that the Spirit clearly lives in your heart.
