YOU & "YOU" - CHOOSE THE ONE TO FOLLOW


READ: Romans 12:1-2

MEMORISE: "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 12:2).

It is very important that you know who is inside of you because for you to have a glimpse of any success or achievement in life, you need to know who is inside of you. Who is in you determines. Who you are and what you do. What you do determines your success/achievement. Your achievement determines your future and your future determines your footprint. Your footprint determines the success of the next generation coming after you.

The "YOU" in you is invisible, however manifests in you. In order word, it is a SPIRIT. You are a correct figure of what is in you. No one lives outside the real "YOU". The "YOU" is your MINDSET. WHAT KIND OF PERCEPTION do you have as regard your career, relationship, marriage, jobs, church, riches, wealth, etc
People have different concluded perception on different issues of life which in return is dictating and affecting their life. Some believe that only ladies who can use their body to get what they want or need are employed in banks, oil company, etc some ladies would say "All men are the same", so they treat every man that comes their way equally.

Roman 12vs2 tells us to RENEW our mind. THE MINDSET OF A MAN MAKES HIM~Ebenezer
There are three "YOU" - the body, spirit and soul. BODY (flesh) and SPIRIT controls the mindset of a man. To whom the SOUL is subjected to determines the mindset a man. The BODY and SPIRIT are always antagonizing each other. However, Romans 8vs16 says that the Spirit itself bears witness with our Spirit that we are children of God. OUR SPIRIT means OUR MINDSET! The body (flesh) always negates the spirit. The soul doesn't have any option; it subjects to whichever is available.

"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. " (John 6:63).

If you listen to the flesh, it will only give you temporal reward which may lead to death and gnashing of teeth in hell but obeying the Holy Spirit gives you life and eternal reward. Galatians 5vs17-21 list out the works of the flesh and Galatians 5vs22-23 list out the fruit of the Spirit.
Devils speaks the flesh but God controls and speaks to the Spirit.

CHOOSE THE ONE TO FOLLOW!
