Understanding True Spirituality
Theme:
Man Is A Triune Being!
Memory Verse:
“But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding”
(Job32:8).
Beloved,
Another word suitable for Triune nature of man is Tripartite. Meaning three in one or involving three parties.
Man has the spirit and the soul: both of them live in the house called body.
Every house has an explicit components based on the owner’s demand.
God cannot relate with man except through the spirit He had put into him.
Hence, Our Lord Jesus according to the gospel of John maintains thus:
“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth”
(Jn.4: 24).
Anytime our spirits and souls submit to the dictates of our house called body, we get disconnected from Divine information/leading.
This is because the body will always fight for the things of this world.
As it is heaven, so is it on the earth.
As it is written by John the beloved through the revelation of God:
“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one”
(1Jn.5:7-8).
In other to maintain continuous flow with our Creator, we need to check the activities of the body (flesh).
Apostle Paul concludes thus:
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit”
(Rom.8: 1).
Beloveth, if our bodies are properly nurtured by the word of God, the ceaseless flow with our Maker will be inevitable.
Scale the body by the word of God!
God bless you.
