The Eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of your calling...Eph 1:18
Every living person on the face of the earth has a unique perspective of things, times, and events. Our distinctive perspective or the way we see things refers to our understanding. The understanding is influenced primarily by exposure, repetitive exposure to a subject or thing over a period aids understanding of the subject. Every person on the face of the earth is entitled to this intangible reality; it is God's design and gift to humanity.
The Understanding can be carnal and corrupted:
The carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to
the laws of God, neither indeed can it be, Rom 8:7. The scripture makes us
to understand that the mind can be carnal, in fact, there is a kind of mind called the carnal mind: this is a mind, whose understanding,
reasoning, or conclusion is based solely on the senses, it judges primarily by
sight, smell, hearing, taste, or feeling, the problem is that these spots are
the prime operation points of the devil and there is more to life than the
senses, in fact, the senses is the most limited part of living reality.
A carnal mind is dangerous, it never submits to God’s law,
especially the supreme law of love, this understanding stands vehemently
everything that is of faith. Our world today is filled with many people that
live with this kind of understanding, they glorify the flesh and fight
everything that is of faith, remember if it is not of faith,
it is sin
"If it is not faith, it is sin". Sir, some think they are exercising faith but not know it's carnal. Example, killing other people because you believe you fighting for your God.
ReplyDeleteI just pray that we all work and walk in the knowledge of the truth and God's faith.
Happy weekend sir
