February 13, 2020 ECWA Food For The Day Devotional :-  DIE SO THAT GOD CAN USE YOU

THURSDAY, 13 FEBRUARY

TEXT: ROMANS 8: 1 – 10

TOPIC: DIE SO THAT GOD CAN USE YOU

The desire to stay alive comes from a natural instinct found not just inherent in humans, but even in animals. Therefore, any suicide case represents a total departure from the divine arrangement. Coming to our text for today, however, we see that the flesh and its tendencies have to die for God to use the person. When the flesh or carnality is active, the spirit is deactivated.

God works through the spirit of man. And when that part is not active, He cannot work through the person. Consequently, God desires us to die to the flesh so that He can be alive in us and for His Spirit to use us. Unfortunately, many enjoy the carnal life and do not want it dead. As long as that is the case, the power to live for God and be used by Him is short-circuited. 

God works through dead people, that is, those who have died to the activities of the flesh! You may need to learn to put yourself to death to witness God’s power in you. Make this a routine, a daily practice, to check if you are alive and to put to death any part of you that is alive to sin.

QUESTION: Which power is active in you, flesh or God’s Spirit?_

PRAYER: Help me to daily put to death the activities of the flesh in my life, O God. Let me know the value of living in the Spirit, Amen._
