Walking in The Spirit
“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” (Galatians 5:16)
Today’s Morsel: If someone were to ask you, how do you walk in the Spirit, what would you tell them? You see, oftentimes we may require others to do things that we ourselves may not know have done. For example, if you have never been married, your advice on marriage will find itself being useless to someone who may be thinking about getting married. If you have never travel abroad, again, your advice may find itself useless to someone who is thinking about traveling aboard. To tell someone to walk in the Spirit, if you yourself have never walked in the Spirit, or understand what it means, could be misleading and cause someone to become confused. To walk in the Spirit, first means that you must be filled with the Spirit. You can’t walk in what you do not have. Acts 2:1-4 says, “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” (Acts 2:1-4) They needed the Spirit to walk in it. And now when this happens, Christ is in you, the hope of glory. The Spirit of God. Your outward man must now be a total reflection of Christ; in actions, character, conduct, and discipline. “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” (2 Corinthians 3:17)As Christ is the Spirit. What is now inside you must be reflected outside of you. Christ in, Christ out. And to walk in the Spirit is to walk according to His Word and His leading, as Jesus is the Word made flesh. As John admonishes us: “He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.” (1 John 2:6).
Sing: Let me walk with You Jesus. Don’t ever leave me alone. For without You I could never, no, never make heaven my home.
Thought For Today: “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” (Ephesians 5:15-16)
