KEY SCRIPTURE:1Ti 6:3 KJV If any man teaches otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

​

Apostle Paul instructs that every pastor must consent to wholesome words⁹ He described wholesome words as the words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the doctrine, which is according to godliness .

Now

This is simply the life in the Spirit. It is a life led according to the revelation of the scriptures. It talks about revealing Jesus in all that we do.  Gal 1:16 KJV” To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:” He went after God to know Him and His will for Him. Through this, he encountered God and received great insights into the way of God. Eph 3:3 KJV “How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,”

​

The Lord taught that to successfully lead the Christian life, one must deny oneself and take up one’s cross. Apostle Paul describes what the Lord said as dying with Christ because we were immersed or baptised into Christ on the very day our Lord died. It became effective on the day we were born again. In light of this, we no longer live for ourselves. Sin no longer controls you. Rom 6:14.

​

The essence of your life on earth is to bring glory to the Lord in all you do. Your actions are a product of the Spirit whose nature is love . Love for God and man are the general expressions of your life.

​

This man is no longer a puppet of his flesh. He is never controlled by the flesh and so has become  a partaker of the divine nature. He has power over demons and sicknesses like our Lord Jesus exhibited. This is the Spirit of Christ at home in another body . He does not live by the limitations of the flesh but has  become one with the divine beings of God. He has escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust( unbelief, fear,bitterness and every other works of the flesh)2Pe 1:4 KJV “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”

​

These are wholesome words that the man of God must preach. If he gives praise to the weakness of the flesh and the ability of the devil to control and manifest his works through him, then he is setting himself up for failure. James 3:1.

​

CONFESSIONS: I speak wholesome words, for it is a tree of life.Sin, sicknesses , lack and death no longer reign over me. I walk in the love of God, manifesting all the good fruits of the Spirit. Angels of God manifest to assist me. I have no fear in me for the greater one lives in me. The wisdom of God functions in me, and so I know what to do at each given moment. I bring solutions to questions in my world. I am exceedingly blessed. Glory be to God.

​

THOUGHT: YOUR WORDS EITHER PUT YOU OVER OR THEY PUT YOU UNDER.
