FLESH SHALL NOT HAVE DOMINION OVER YOU BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA
It is true we can deny this flesh food for sometime if it does not have dominion over us but reverse is the case for that man who is under the dominion of the flesh. His body dictates to him and show him 101 ways why he doesn't need to fast.
Don't blame that lady who fornicates at every available opportunity. Even when she decides not to fornicate, she finds herself in the act. Simply put, she is under the control of flesh.
That fellow who is filled with hatred, envy and jealousy towards his neighbour is under the influence of the flesh. Flesh will never be contented. He will never love to see others ahead of him.
That girl child's truancy cannot be far fetched. She is under the dominion of flesh. Flesh will never submit.
If you are under the dominion of flesh, you are carnally minded. To be carnally minded is death and death is separation from God. A man who follows the dictate of the flesh cannot please God for God is a Spirit and those who must worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
Do you see a man who is under the dictate of the flesh, he will always misbehave no matter how hard he tries. When he tries to do right, he ends up doing wrong.
Denying the flesh of its excesses is key. When you want to fast and it says you may die in the process, tell it you can't die. Doing that, your spirit will gain ascendancy over the flesh.
"Walk in the spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh". Galatians 5:16. Walking in the spirit simply put means obedience to the Spirit's leading.
The word of God is Spirit and life. Feed on it. When you feed too much on things around instead of the word of God, you will always struggle with flesh.
