PUT OFF YOUR OLD MAN
EPHESIANS 4:22
"You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires"
No man can do anything spiritual except he is being enabled from above.
As you come to Christ Jesus, it is important to know that you were used to a particular lifestyle and you need to put off those lifestyles and stick to the way of the new life found in Christ Jesus in your new found faith.
You must know that it's your personal responsibility to consciously put off the old man with the help of the Holy Spirit. The old man could be lies, cheating, sexual immorality, anger, pride, lusts, malice, gossip, highmindedness, drunkenness, wild parties, and unfaithfulness etc. You MUST ensure you put off all these, though with the help of the Spirit and this is why you must ensure you follow the leading of the Holy Ghost daily. For those that are led by Him are really the sons/daughters of God.Rom. 8:14
Now that you are saved, you must take personal responsibility on the followings:
1.) Put off the old man by restraining your body/member from doing what it used to do in the past.Col.3:5-9
2.) Renew your mind daily with the word of God. Eph 4:24, Col. 3:10.
3.) Don't build up again those things you have destroyed. Gal. 2:18, Heb 3:12-14.
4.) Avoid wrong associations, for evil communications corrupt good manners.Heb. 12:11, 20, 2 Cor. 6:17-18)
5.) Avoid secret sins like a plague. Heb. 12:1-2. Anyone who covers his/her sins shall not prosper but whoever confesses his/her sins, God will have mercy upon. You must know that God's strength is made manifest in all your weak points (2 Cor. 12:9).
6.) Avoid lack of fellowship with the people of God. Heb. 10:25
Friend, if you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land (Isa.1:18-19).
To be continued.
Enjoy your day!
Personal confession: Lord Jesus, enable me to mortify my flesh in Jesus' name.
