*WISDOM FOR TODAY.*
*FLESH AND BLOOD (3)*
*Scripture Treasure.*
1 Cor 2:14 *But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.*
*Insight and Highlight.*
A person operating in flesh and blood is a natural man
*Scripture Commentaries.*
Flesh and blood tell us that no natural or human foresight, discernment, or keen perception; or ability to make good judgments, could reveal the truth of God's word.
The natural man is unregenerate mortal man. He can not discern or teach or unravel gospel mysteries.
This was why Jesus told Peter that flesh and blood could not reveal deep spiritual revelation as Peter revealed.
God may appear slow or slack, 2 Pet 3:9, or we may appear to be void of what to say spiritually, it is best to wait on what God will have to say.
Hab 2:1 says *l will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.*
While we have some teachers, Eph 4:11-16, no school of education can take the place of the Spirit.
Schools, conferences, seminars can enlighten and educate us, make us to grow and productive and though we are born of the Spirit, none can really know the way, predict and the move of the Spirit, John 1: 8.
They are exclusive to God unless revealed to us by Him.
Do not be in a haste to speak. When you do, you may be speaking in flesh and blood.
*Remorse corner.*
Surender yourself to the Spirit. When you do, He will speak. When He speaks, listen to what He is saying
*Call to Word action.*
1 Sam 3:9-10
*Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.*
*And the Lord came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.*
*The Christian clarion duty.*
the Holy Spirit must remain our vocal point in all ways.
*Prayer.*
Lord, help me to listen to the Spirit before, l speak, in Jesus name.
Good morning all, and have a blessed day today.
God bless you.
