Be Spiritually Minded. Pastor. Olayemi
It was the first SUNDAY of the year 2018 as the members of the Apostolic Church Nigeria,Yola Area, Sangere Assembly were admonished on being spiritually minded by Pastor Olayemi taking his scriptures from Roman's 8:1-17
We need to be spiritually minded, people come to church claiming to worship God but inturn go after, worldly things.
Looking at the lives of some men if God the also go after worldliness, so in the year 2018 we need to be spiritually minded.
Abscorn from the from the things of the flesh.
Galatians 6:8 says
For he who sows to his own flesh (lower nature, sensuality) will from the flesh reap decay and ruin and destruction, but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
We can't not be friends of the world and be that of the Spirit. Also James 4:4 says
You unfaithful wives [having illicit love affairs with the world and breaking your marriage vow to God]! Do you not know that being the world's friend is being God's enemy? So whoever chooses to be a friend of the world takes his stand as an enemy of God.
The world in now in the church, bringing world into the church. Eroding the decency of the church with worldliness.
As children of God we got to leave all these worldliness in the year 2018 and be spiritually minded because friendship with the world is enmity with God.
Proverbs 14:12 for the way that seems right before men, the end is always destruction, for there is no other way expect the way of the Lord, (Salvation).
As No soldier when in service gets entangled in the enterprises of [civilian] life; his aim is to satisfy and please the one who enlisted him. So are we in this world against Flesh. 2 Timothy 2:4
To the youths in this year 2018, Shun youthful lusts and flee from them, and aim at and pursue righteousness (all that is virtuous and good, right living, conformity to the will of God in thought, word, and deed); [and aim at and pursue] faith, love, [and] peace (harmony and concord with others) in fellowship with all [Christians], who call upon the Lord out of a pure heart. 2 Timothy 2:22
And finally, set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth. Col. 3:2-8
For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].
