SOUL ECSTASY
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
TUESDAY, 8TH AUGUST 2017
TOPIC: SOUL ECSTASY
SCRIPTURE: 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 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.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever | 1 John 2:15-17
MEMORY VERSE: 1 John 2:15
DIGGING DEEP: One of the basic reasons why God gave man a spirit is for relationship with Him. God relates with the regenerated human spirit because He Himself is a Spirit, hence been a spirit makes it simple to relate with man.
The immaterial controls the material realm. For instance if you want to help someone, it starts from within you before it bursts into the physical. The soul of man is the centre that connects the immaterial to the material realm. It is the seat of Intelligence, desires, emotion, feelings, and character. What we call human nature is seated in the soul of a man.
There is always a flux that pulls the soul of a man into holiness and righteousness. The soul is the seat of our dealings in the flesh. It is a conduit between your spirit and your body. The activities your soul permits shows what has gained total rule in your life. Hence the soul is the constituency of the most powerful in your life. If flesh relates more with the soul then sin rules but if your spirit is taken by the Holy Spirit of God then your soul will be be under God's control and your body will conform.
The soul is the battle ground between the spirit of man and flesh. So it contains evidence of what has transpired in your life. A totally regenerated person has his soul, spirit and body under the control of God and such becomes true members of His body, bone and blood.
If we must truly become sons of God there are three ectasy we must consciously and deliberately resist; and also allow the power of God to pull us from. These three are:
1. THE PRIDE OF LIFE: This simply means selfglory. And any selfglory equals vainglory. It is an element of vanity. It is to be pumpous, and exalting self. It is raising self above God. This is what brought Lucifer down to eternal condemnation and judgement. God does not hesitate to bring down anything that tries to exalt itself above Him. Pride sponsors arrogance and arrogance births rebellion; and rebellion is the trigger of destruction. Pride is the seed of flesh that tries to gain control over the soul of men while humility is the seed of the Spirit of God that rules our spirit and influences our soul. Proud people don't have regard for God. They take pride in the knowledge they have acquired, take pride in their wealth and so on. Because of this ostentatiousness they have no regard for God and have become atheists hence have sold their soul to the devil.
2. THE LUST OF THE FLESH: This simply means desires (the soul is the seat of desires) or appetite of the flesh. In Greek lust means to be hot after something. It is the burning desire to sin. For instance it is the burning desire to steal, to cheat, to lie, to be insincere with your spouse, to do anything that is anti the will of God.
3. THE LUST OF THE EYES: This means desire to see what is not in God's will. Such as the inordinate desire to see a new dress, new car, to look at a woman lustfully, to watch pornography and so on. The eyes is one major portal of perception and avenue for temptations. It is a major link to the soul of a man and has capacity to fuel desires, and emotion. David was drown into sin by the lust of the eyes. Lust of the eyes is one of the major element the devil uses to entice and attack man. It was what the devil used to decieve eve and defeat man. The devil pulled that same string on Jesus but was unable to prevail.
Job said that "I have made a Covenant with my eyes that i will not look at a woman lustfully" (Job 31:1).
When these three elements invades the soul of a man, the person becomes worldly, ungodly and the love of God is terminated from such a one.
Finally, God wants you to be for Him and hence you must dedicate yourself and your soul to Him so that you can come into total governance of God.
I pray for you today may your life become the dwelling place of God.
PRAYER: O God, i ask that You gain absolute dominion over my entire beign in Jesus' name.
