Do Not Conform to Your Previous Desires
Sometimes, that desire to go back into those secret sins will come. But hey, when that moment comes, it’s time to pray. Do not let the devil’s evil suggestions overpower you. Submit your ways to God.

The choice is yours. You can choose to let your desires dictate your actions, or you can choose to obey God. The path of obedience may not always be easy, but it leads to a life of true fulfilment and eternal reward.
Living beyond the dictates of sinful flesh is possible in Christ, and you can do it because of the Spirit of grace in you. But in case you falter, remember your advocate, lest you let the devil plunge you into self-condemnation.
You are to serve God in the new way of the Spirit. That new way of the Spirit for divine service doesn’t have specific human rules attached to it. No! The guide is the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.
Even though the law of sin works in every unbeliever, one can be set free from sin by God’s deliverance (salvation) through Jesus Christ our Lord. So, if you are saved, you have been set free from sin and its entire consequences. Why? Because Christ Jesus has delivered you from God’s wrath.
Look at the life of anyone who has lived in sin; it never ends well with them. Therefore, be on your guard, submit all your ways to God, and keep Him first place in your life, no matter where you are.
Don’t mix your identity. You were a slave to sin when you weren’t born again. And so now that you believe, concentrate on offering yourself as a living sacrifice to God. Get rid of all moral filth and the sin that easily entangles, and live your life with God in focus.
The Bible says there was a time when we were God’s enemies because of sin. But God, knowing how helpless we are without Him, chose to send Jesus to come and die for us so we can get reconciled back to Him. Today, if you are reading this, I want you to know that you are not God’s enemy. You are His beloved.
If you stand in the realm of grace, then it means that that realm is so vast that it can contain you and all other believers in Christ. Furthermore, it means that the possibilities in the grace of God are endless because no human yardstick can measure the realm of grace. But the question is, how many possibilities in God’s grace have you known by revelation and pressed hard in the Spirit to walk in its reality?
When you intentionally take time to know God, you’ll come to understand the actual embodiment of love, and it’ll translate into the way you do things.
Since time immemorial, Jews have been classified as God’s people who carry His oracles. And this hasn’t changed. Jews are still God’s people. But today, the “Jews,” who are God’s children, are no longer physical descendants of Abraham, although He still loves them and cares about them. The current Jews of God are those who are born again in Christ. So, if you are a Christian, then you are a jew by inward witness. That’s it.
Dear preacher, don’t rush to get some information from the Bible just to preach to people. Take your time to study the Word. Teach yourself as you teach others. Instill self-discipline in your walk with God. Beat your body so you don’t become a castaway of the very things you preach to others.
