DO YOU DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD

DO YOU DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD: LIVE AND WALK IN THE SPIRIT BY THE WORD!

I know to what extent most of us are driven in the Christian Faith to DO lots and loads in the name of PLEASING (and wanting to PLEASE) God. And yet NEVER enough, because it’s not by Power and not by might but by my Spirit says the LORD as it’s written: 

“Then he answered and SPAKE unto me, saying, This is the WORD of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by MIGHT, nor by POWER, but by MY SPIRIT, saith the Lord of hosts” Zechariah 4:6.

And pleasing God by His Spirit comes through by the WORD. Hence, when some of us let go our precious TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT EXERTION (Physical & Mental) to ensure that the CAUSE and CAUSES of God and humanity are doing great, may be questionable, is because it’s not SCRIPTURALLY done by the WORD context to the just of PLEASING God.

Honestly, why all our efforts may seems good in our own eyes, but are they the GOOD, ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT WILL of God? Romans 12:1-2. And we mustn’t forget that His WILL is His WORD and, in His WORD, only. Then we can ask ourselves if our ACTS of DOING what we DO really PLEASE God?

What then is the ACTS to PLEASE God if someone may ask.  HEREIN ARE TWO PRINCIPLES TO KNOW:

** THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 1: Spend your most precious time on what God IS to you rather than what you think or conceived or intend that the enemy and cohorts ARE or DOING or capable of doing. More of God and Less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS. Philemon 1:6.

The foremost and great ACT about PLEASING God is that you spent little or no energy at all on your enemy and or enemies if you think you have one; for God will causes them to be at PEACE with you when your time is spent on God primarily as in His WORD on any context. In my own terms, He makes them to WORK for your good instead of been at WAR with you – Proverbs 16:7. DON’T YOU LIKE THAT? Because I Do LOVE God to take care of the ENEMY and COHORTS while I burn my time instead, PLEASING Him. That’s effortless and keeps one at ease in LIFE and GODLY LIVING even in the MIDST of challenges and obstacles in our circumstances.

Having less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS attention and MORE of God is not the gracious and graceful thing to do when having or in the midst of a mental, physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual TORTURE of the known and unknown enemy (enemies) and cohorts. More so, it’s not about having an ENDLESS meetings of prayers and fasting cum night vigils, instead of spending such gracious moments in PLEASING God by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on that circumstantial while He takes care of that ENEMY and COHORTS department for you as enjoined in the Scripture of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6.

This is what I enjoy doing – PLEASING GOD by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on any subject matters that confronts me; and that’s what I wants you to know and enjoy likewise in Christ Jesus. Hence no more enemy (enemies) and cohorts l WORRIES, ANXIOUSNESS and CONSCIOUSNESS to keep me in fear phobias when I am at PEACE with God. That is the PATH OF LIFE I follow, to have COMMUNION, which is the FELLOWSHIP that enhances RELATIONSHIP with God. It SAVES me from ERRORS and SELF AFFLICTION and IGNORANCE in dealing with matters of life in my GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead – Psalms 16:11; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28. Matthew 22:29; Acts 17:30-31.

** THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 2: Spend your synergy to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by your spirit and not in the FLESH – SENSES. Galatians 5:25.

To LIVE and WALK in the Spirit is another ACT you MUST know and start DOING while you stop right now living and walking in the flesh – by your SENSES, if you MUST PLEASE God in order to enjoy the scriptural rights and privileges of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6, in conjunction with the enjoined Scriptures of Romans 8:1-4, 8.

Romans 8:1-4, 8 states that those who are – that is, LIVE and WALK in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God. What then does it mean to LIVE and WALK in the FLESH? It means to live and walk in your FIVE SENSES directives in opposition to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY with God in SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT. And herein, are what the FLESH (SENSES) segments consist of:

** Hearing (Hear)

** Seeing (See)

** Smelling (Smell)

** Tasting (Taste)

** Feeling/Touching (Feel/Touch)

People who live and walks by the indulgence and guidance of their FIVE SENSES satisfies the lusts and affections of the flesh. And such CANNOT PLEASE God no matter what their intents are. For by the DEEDS of the FLESH shall no man LIVE, PREVAIL and be JUSTIFIED before God as says the Scripture – Romans 3:20; Romans 8:13, 28-30.

They are always CONSEQUENCES and EFFECTS of living and walking in the FLESH – five senses. Therefore, DON’T BE A SENSE-RULED or BODY-RULED BELIEVER – if you must PLEASE God. Let your SENSES be sensitized by God’s WORD as Hebrews 5:14 enjoined.

And if you feel Otherwise you can ASK:

*** EVE of Genesis about the effect of the sight (to behold of the eyes) of the fruit in the garden of Eden;

*** ESAU about the smell and taste of porridge that cause his lost to his birthright because of his brother’s – JACOB – porridge;

*** King SAUL of losing his throne towards the harkening his ear in hearing and listening to the voice of the people in making sacrifice ahead of Prophet SAMUEL arrival and instructions;

*** Prophet SAMUEL about tying to anoint ELIAB as a King instead of DAVID by sight in JESSE’S house and God’s rebuke in his trying to do so;

*** King DAVID about the death of a non LEVITE’S who touch the ARK to help carry it against divine process;

*** Yourself of other such like SENSE ACTS in the Holy Writ not mentioned.

HOW THEN DO WE PLEASE GOD IN ESSENCE:

The Scripture of Hebrews 11:6 says that WITHOUT an ACT of FAITH we CANNOT PLEASE GOD. Really? YES! Faith is ACTING accordingly on what you BELIEVE on GOD’S WORD in context. It thus means FAITH is of God’s WORD. Meaning No WORD – No FAITH, for FAITH comes by the WORD – Romans 10:17, Hebrews 11:1-3.

The WORD of God is spiritual, victorious and triumphant in everyway in every cause. Meaning FAITH is spiritual, victorious and triumphant – 1 John 5:3-5, 2 Corinthians 2:14.

Then to exercise FAITH life in order to PLEASE GOD, one needs to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit. Only by the Holy Spirit CAN one ONLY live FAR ABOVE the lusts and affections of the flesh – SENSES. Galatians 5:24-25.

Living by the SPIRIT is living by the WORD of God. When you develop a living in the Spirit by your spirit consciousness, then can you LIVE and WALK in the SPIRIT by your spirit consciousness.

Do you know and understand what it means to live in the Spirit by your spirit-consciousness to enhance your Spirit Walk by your spirit-consciousness? If you don’t, the FLESH-SENSE living will keep you at WAR in your being as the Scripture enjoins in Galatians 5:16, 24 and James 4:1-3.

Therefore, if you must PLEASE God – then LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by the WORD OF GOD through FAITH. For we WALK by FAITH SENSE and not by SIGHT – FLESH SENSE – 2 Corinthians 5:7. And anything done outside FAITH ACTS is Sin, so enjoined the scripture of Romans 14:23. Sin then means UNBELIEVE toward God in Christ Jesus stead. That is, for any not to BELIEVE on God’s WORD as it is and ACT accordingly in Christ Jesus stead.

If you want and must PLEASE GOD, LIVE and WALK in the Spirit and not in your SENSES that you might access God’s PEACE even in the midst of your acclaimed enemy (enemies) and cohorts (More on this is in my later upcoming Book – “Being Divinely Led Of God”).

“That the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING OF EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he maketh even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who WALK not after the FLESH, but after the Spirit . . . 8 So then they that are in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God” Romans 8:1-8.

“. . . 3 Through FAITH we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6.

“From whence come WARS AND FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your members? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and CANNOT OBTAIN: ye FIGHT AND WAR, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your LUST” James 4:1-3.

LIFE CHOICES

LIFE CHOICES – Dealing With The TRINITY Within – I, ME, MYSELF: The Three ENEMIES That HINDERS Desired ALTITUDE!

Everyone craves for a high and higher rise in life. And higher heights are born in our ATTITUDE for such ALTITUDE we earnestly desired and yearns daily to attain.

Unfortunately for some, the enemies within them have created their stunted growth and success and excellence and such like.

The THREE ENEMIES within that needs to be brought under if one must constantly be ahead in LIFE and GODLINESS are these:

** The lust of the flesh

 ** The lust of the eyes

 ** The pride of life

These three ENEMIES comes from the trinity within us – I, ME and MYSELF otherwise the Me, Me and Me attitude.

Life is about CHOICE and CHOICES – and to being mindful and to not being mindful, of these three elements, which can make and unmake your worlds of success and fulfilment and excellence, in LIFE and GODLINESS, is worth pondering about. Hence there’s the need to diligently check and guard your being by the Holy Spirit of any of the signs and presence of these elements in the light of the WORD of God.

You are the DECIDED of your ARISING and ALTITUDE, therefore make the wise CHOICE today – to bring your body under; I mean the five SENSES trinity of I, ME, MYSELF, in subjection to the Holy Spirit guide and guard, under the authority and power of the word of God. That’s the only Kingdom cause way to have Dominion, be more than conquerors, an overcomer, be triumphant and victorious in doing life and living godly in everyway in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Know full well that your ATTITUDE indicates your CHARACTER. Your CHARACTER indicates your PERSON. And your PERSON, which is born of your ATTITUDE does not only defines you, but it’s what will SUSTAIN you in your desired ALTITUDE when you arrived at it. Hence a no GOOD ATTITUDE means an ILLUSION to your DESIRED ALTITUDE and SUSTAINABILITY in the POSITION of ALTITUDE.

Herein are common and scriptural sayings that are worth pondering – meditating and thinking – through, in cause of doing life in time and in matters of ATTITUDE (CHARACTER and INTEGRITY):

** “People of genius are admired.

People of wealth are envied.

People of power are feared.

But only people of CHARACTER are TRUSTED” – Arthur Friedman

** “Be it known that the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, charisma, enterprise and such like the more, may take you to the top, but only INTEGRITY will keep and sustain you there” – Chukie MORSI Snr.

** “And CHARACTER and INTEGRITY are made possible by the indwelling precious, gracious and graceful Holy Spirit, which is given to us in the WORD” – Chukie MORSI Snr.

** “When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when CHARACTER is lost, ALL is lost” – Billy Graham

MAKE A WISE CHOICE TODAY – YOU ALTITUDE IS WITHIN YOUR REACH BY YOUR ATTITUDE

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And then you need to keep a sharp eye out for competent men—men who fear God, men of INTEGRITY, men who are INCORRUPTIBLE—and appoint them as LEADERS over groups organized by the thousand, by the hundred, by fifty, and by ten” Exodus 18:21.

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are TRUE, whatever things are NOBLE, whatever things are JUST, whatever things are PURE, whatever things are LOVELY, whatever things are of GOOD REPORT, if there is any VIRTUE and if there is anything PRAISEWORTHY—meditate on these things” Philippians 4:8.

“I BESEECH (BEG) you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye PRESENT your BODIES (FIVE SENSES) a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your REASONABLE service. 2 And be not CONFORMED to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of your mind, that ye may prove what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, will of God” Romans 12:1-2.

“For though we WALK in the flesh, we do not WAR after the flesh: 4 (for the WEAPONS of our WARFARE are not CARNAL, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 CASTING down IMAGINATIONS, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the OBEDIENCE of Christ; 6 and having in a readiness to REVENGE all DISOBEDIENCE, when your OBEDIENCE is FULFILLED” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

“Love not the world [the worlds mindset], neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world” 1 John 2:15-17.

“I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep UNDER MY BODY (I, Me, Myself), and BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I MYSELF should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27.

“Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him. 12 If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us” 2 Timothy 2:10-12.

“But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and EXERCISE yourself toward godliness. 8 For BODILY exercise profits a little, but GODLINESS is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. 9 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING and worthy of all acceptance. 10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe” 1 Timothy 4:7-10.

“That having been JUSTIFIED by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to MAINTAIN good works. These things are GOOD and PROFITABLE to men” Titus 3:7-8.

“But the FRUIT (CHARACTER) of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” Galatians 5:22-25.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT – ‘MORTIFY’ – PUT THE FLESH TO DEATH: BEFORE BED TIME – FOR YOUR NEW DAY IS COME!

Until King Uzziah died, there was no NEW DAY and HEADWAY for Prophet Isaiah to experience an UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD path to thrive, shine and become; and to live meaningfully and purposefully; and to be fulfilled in LIFE and GRACE – Ministry.

King Uzziah was a symbol of the flesh in the way of Prophet Isaiah. The consequence and effect was that Prophet Isaiah though a great Prophet to be and in making, could not move FORWARD and ONWARDS with God from Chapter One to Chapter Five. But as soon as his king Uzziah gives way in Chapter Six, he was able to witness and experience the three dimensional phase of God’s dealings –  UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD; that change his LIFE and MINISTRY perception of God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT to enable him become that great Prophet that he was born of God to be in LIFE and GRACE.

Until you motify, that is, put to death the act and deeds of the FLESH – what you SEE, FEEL, SMELL, TASTE and HEAR – it will be difficult to explore, innovate, create and initiate life with God. For by the deeds of the flesh shall no man be JUSTIFIED in the sight of God.

God wants you to experience His onward and upward plan Purpose and pursuits, but you must have a look – UPWARD, INWARD AND OUTWARD as Prophet Isaiah, to make it happen for you. It’s what you do intentionally and responsibly in order to be accountable in the grace wherein to stand in Christ Jesus stead – unashamed, unafraid and emboldened.

“In the year that KING UZZIAH DIED I SAW ALSO THE LORD SITTING UPON A THRONE, HIGH AND LIFTED UP, AND HIS TRAIN FILLED THE TEMPLE. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 THEN SAID I, WOE IS ME! FOR I AM UNDONE; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 ALSO I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD, SAYING, WHOM SHALL I SEND, AND WHO WILL GO FOR US? THEN SAID I, HERE AM I; SEND ME. 9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not” Isaiah 6:1-9.

DO DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD

By Leave a Comment

DO DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD: LIVE & WALK IN THE SPIRIT!

I know to what extent most of us in the Christian Faith DO lots and loads in the name of PLEASING (and wanting to PLEASE) God.

Some of us we let go our precious TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT EXERTION (Physical & Mental) to ensure that the CAUSE and CAUSES of God and humanity are doing great.

Honestly all these seems good; but do our ACTS of DOING them really PLEASE God? What then is the ACTS to PLEASE God?

Foremost, one GREAT ACT about PLEASING God is that you spent little or no energy at all on your enemy and or enemies if you think you have one because God causes them to be at PEACE with you. In my own terms, He makes them to WORK for your good instead of been at WAR with you – Proverbs 16:7. Don’t you like that? Because I Do.

Is it not gracious that instead of having mental, physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual TORTURE of the known and unknown enemy (enemies) with endless meetings of prayer and fasting, and night vigils, that you spent it PLEASING God who takes care of that department for you as the Scripture of Proverbs 16:7 enjoined.

That’s what I enjoy doing and wants you to know and enjoy likewise in Christ Jesus. Hence no more enemy (enemies) WORRIES, ANXIOUSNESS and CONSCIOUSNESS. That is the PATH OF LIFE I follow: COMMUNION, which is the FELLOWSHIP that enhances RELATIONSHIP with God – Psalms 16:11; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28.

Another ACT you MUST know and stop DOING right now and henceforth if you MUST PLEASE God in order to enjoy the scriptural privileged of Proverbs 16:7, is as enjoined in the Scriptures of Romans 8:1-4, 8.

It thus states that those who are – that is, LIVE and WALK in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God. What then does it mean to LIVE and WALK in the FLESH? It means to live and walk in your FIVE SENSES directives, which are of these:
** Hearing (Hear)
** Seeing (See)
** Smelling (Smell)
** Tasting (Taste)
** Feeling/Touching (Feel/Touch)

People who live and walks by the guidance of their five senses satisfies the lusts and affections of the flesh. And such CANNOT PLEASE God no matter what your intents are. For by the DEEDS of the FLESH shall no man LIVE, PREVAIL and be JUSTIFIED before God as says the Scripture – Romans 3:20; Romans 8:13.

They are always consequences and effects of living and walking in the FLESH – five senses. DON’T BE A SENSE RULE BELIEVER – if you must PLEASE God. Let your SENSES be sensitized by God’s WORD as Hebrews 5:14 enjoined. If you feel Otherwise you can:

*** Ask EVE of Genesis about the effect of the sight (good to behold of the eyes) of the fruit in the garden of Eden;

*** Ask ESAU about the smell and taste of porridge on his lost to birthright because of his brother JACOB porridge;

*** Ask King SAUL of losing his throne towards the harkening his ear in hearing and listening to the voice of the people in making sacrifice ahead of Prophet SAMUEL arrival instructions;

*** Ask Prophet SAMUEL about tying to anoint ELIAB as a King instead of DAVID by sight in JESSE’S house and God’s rebuke in his trying to do so;

*** Ask King DAVID about the death of a non LEVITE’S who touch the ARK to help carry it against divine process;

*** And many such likes SENSE ACTS in the Holy Writ.

HOW THEN DO WE PLEASE GOD?

The Scripture of Hebrews 11:6 says that WITHOUT an ACT of FAITH we CANNOT PLEASE GOD. Really? Yes! Faith is ACTING on what you BELIEVE on GOD’S WORD. It thus means FAITH is of God’s WORD. Meaning No WORD – No FAITH, for FAITH comes by the WORD – Romans 10:17.

The WORD of God is spiritual and triumphant. Meaning FAITH is spiritual and triumphant – 1 John 5:3-5. Then to exercise FAITH life in order to PLEASE GOD, one needs to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit. Only by the Holy Spirit CAN one ONLY live FAR ABOVE the lusts and affections of the flesh – SENSES.

Living by the SPIRIT is living by the WORD of God. When you develop a living in the Spirit by your spirit consciousness, then can you WALK in the SPIRIT by your spirit consciousness.

Do you know and understands what it means to live in the Spirit by your consciousness to enhance your Spirit Walk by your spirit consciousness? If you don’t, the FLESH – SENSE living will keep you at war in your being as the Scripture enjoins in Galatians 5:16, 24 and James 4:1-3.

Therefore, if you must PLEASE God – then LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by the WORD OF GOD through FAITH. For we walk by Faith and not by five senses – 2 Corinthians 5:7. And anything done outside FAITH ACTS is Sin, so enjoined the scripture of Romans 14:23. Sin then means UNBELIEVE towards God. That is, for any not to BELIEVE on God’s WORD as it is and ACT accordingly.

If you wants and must PLEASE GOD, LIVE and WALK in the Spirit and not in your SENSES that you might access God’s PEACE even in the midst of your acclaimed enemy (enemies).

(More on this is in my later in the year coming Book – “Being Divinely Led Of God”).

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who WALK not after the FLESH, but after the Spirit . . . 8 So then they that are in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God” Romans 8:1-8.

“. . . 3 Through FAITH we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6.

“From whence come WARS AND FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your members? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and CANNOT OBTAIN: ye FIGHT AND WAR, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your LUST” James 4:1-3.

“Love not the world [the worlds mindset], neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world” 1 John 2:15-17.

“I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep UNDER MY BODY (I, Me, Myself), and BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I MYSELF should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27.
