KNOW NO MAN AFTER THE FLESH

MEMORY VERSE: - 2 Corinthians 5:16 - "Therefore, henceforth know we no man according to the flesh; yea, though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now henceforth we know Him so no more."

Paul says they had come to the point of no longer seeing Jesus from a purely outward perspective. How did they know Jesus after the flesh? It was to know Him naturally without knowledge of His spiritual worth. They knew Jesus as the son of Joseph the Carpenter and his wife, Mary. They knew His growing up, they knew His strength and weaknesses, hence they didn't place value on His spiritual worth.

We were told in the scripture what happened in Jesus home town. According to Mark 6:5, while Jesus was in His hometown of Nazareth, “He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them” Why? Because the people did not believe in Him, there were knowing Him according to the flesh. Thus they took Him for granted. They said, “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother’s name Mary, and aren’t His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? Aren’t all His sisters with us as well? Where then did this man get all these things?” (Matthew 13:55, 56).

Many who are in a church, those who are closed to their minister, especially those who live with them in same place, oftentimes becomes too familiar with the minister that they do not actually drink from the milk of God's grace in them. You can't enjoy the anointing in the life of God's servant when you are not valuing his or her spiritual worth. For anyone to receive the impactation from their minister, they have to change their perspective on how they see him or her.

Paul said, they once knew Jesus on the human perspective... Hence we see why he was used against the gospel. But now, since he has experienced Christ and has seen His spiritual worth, His power and His glory, He no longer see Him or know him according to the human perspective. Not only did they stop knowing Jesus according to the flesh, they had also stopped knowing people purely based on outward appearance. “Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh.”

 So, it's important we learn to see people not based on their humanistic or former ways of life perspective but from the perspective of their new life in Christ. Moreover, we must begin to value the spiritual worth of our ministers, thus it will benefit us.


PRAYER

Thank you heavenly Father for your Son Jesus, thank you for your servant whom you have put as my spiritual overseer. Am sorry for not valuing them, and From this day, I no longer see my pastors from human perspective but from the spiritual in Jesus name, Amen

MEMBERS OF GOD'S FAMILY 2

  AbayeLiz Daily Inspirational MEMBERS OF GOD'S FAMILY 2 MEMORY VERSE: - 2 Corinthians 3:6 - “He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.” Like I said in the part one of this topic, Jesus did not come to bring another religion but to bring sons and daughters unto the Father.  Religion is nothing but an ideology, but relationship and family is the real thing. Wherefore, Christ has enabled us to be children of God by the Spirit not of laws (religion). The old written covenant ends in death; but under the new covenant, the Spirit gives life. Living in religion kills but being a man or woman of relationship gives life. What Satan is using to rob people of their right to experiencing God's full package for them is religion.  Religion is a mock, a counterfeit, and a deception. But that which God offers us is relationship by the power of the Spirit.  Christianity is not in religion but an

AVOID DIVERSIONS

AVOID DIVERSIONS MEMORY VERSE: - Jonah 1:3 - "But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the LORD. He went down to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for Tarshish. He bought a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from the LORD by sailing to Tarshish” (NLT) One of the ways the devil is using to rub many people of their blessing is through diversions. The Lord gave a message to Jonah to go to the city of Nineveh and announce his judgment against it because of their wickedness but Jonah chose not to go, instead he went another way and his own way the scripture says was the "Opposite Direction." Oftentimes, people choose to go the opposite direction against God's original agenda for them when things are not going as planned. When vision is being delayed and when they are hit with challenges and difficulties in the process of trying to achieve what they were given to do. In the opposite direction is confusion.... In the opposi

NOW IS YOUR MOMENT

  AbayeLiz Daily Inspirational   NOW IS YOUR MOMENT MEMORY VERSE: - John 11:21-24, "Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day"   A lot of people pray but do not believe they can have the answer to their request immediately. Their faith is always in the future. The mindset of future has kept them from embracing that which is theirs at the moment. Thus, they neglect the place of faith in the now of today’s experience. While Martha could only think of the future as the only time her brother could rise again from the dead, Jesus was seeing it happening in the moment. Beloved, it's time to wake up and begin to walk in the 'now' faith. What is now? It means at the present time or moment. it is right
