Romans 6:14
What strongholds are you pulling down at present in your life? Does sin reign unchecked in your life? Are you gaining mastery over sinful lusts and passions, or are they gaining mastery over you? Does sin have dominion over you or do you have dominion over sin?
Brothers and Sisters, we must vow to fight! We’re in a war and as God said to Cain, “...sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him” (Gen. 4:7). You say, but Brother, the sinful desires are so strong, I can barely resist the pull towards evil! I hear you! But can I ask you this question, which man are you feeding? The carnal man or the spiritual man? Your flesh or your spirit? There’s a principle that holds true, “...whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” (Gal. 6:7). If I sow a field full of tares/weeds, then it should be of no surprise if when I come back after several months, the field is overgrown with weeds!! I’m not going to find a healthy crop of wheat Maize, for that to happen, I need to sow the right kind of seed.
