Daily bread

*NGAT DAILY BREAD*

*DATE:* *FRIDAY 7TH OCTOBER 2016*
*THEME:* *YOU'RE IN THE WORLD, BUT NOT OF THE WORLD*
*TEXT:* *JOHN 17:16*

*"They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world."*

My sincere prayer for you today is that the Holy Spirit will bring you to the revelation of what this following scriptures says about YOU, so that you can believe them, and begin to walk in their realities. For it is written ,  *"Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord."*Luke 1:45.

Now that you've submitted to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and have experienced the Power of His crucifixion and resurrection, hear this:

COLOSSIANS 3:1-17

If then you were raised with Christ, seek those
things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at
the right hand of God. Set your mind on things
above, not on things on the earth. For you died,
and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When
Christ who is our life appears, then you also will
appear with Him in glory.
Therefore put to death your members which are
on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion,
evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Because of these things the wrath of God is
coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which
you yourselves once walked when you lived in
them. But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian,
Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and
beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness,
humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with
one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone
has a complaint against another; even as Christ
forgave you, so you also must do. But above
all these things put on love, which is the bond of
perfection. And let the peace of God rule in
your hearts, to which also you were called in one
body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ
dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and
admonishing one another in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your
hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in
word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Some key things to note in the passage above

1. If then you were raised with Christ
2. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
3. Therefore put to death
4. But now you yourselves are to put off all these
5. and have put on the new man who is renewed
in knowledge according to the image of Him who
created him
6. Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved

I show you a mystery, now that you're dead and raised with Christ, SIN no longer have dominion over you to fulfill his lust, Rom 6:7. The forcefulness and the grip of SIN has been broken.

*You are still in the world*

Note this, the producer of sin (Mr flesh) has died, but he has several visitors that used to visit him (several members on earth); like lust, anger, unforgivness, malice, fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire,  covetousness, and so on..... They will still be coming to ask for the old man since the tabernacle (your body) has not yet changed. For instance, Mr malice can come knocking at any time; it is now your responsibility to open the door effortlessly (not the door of your heart o, I'm just using your house door as example. Get me right? Good!), and then you ask him, 'hello young man, who are you looking for? Then Mr malice respond, 'I'm looking for the man that used to sell bread here (Mr flesh), the man that used to occupy this temple'. Then you also respond effortlessly, 'haba Mr malice, why are you looking for the dead among the living? The man that used to occupy this temple has died long ago, now this temple you're looking at is under new Management of Jesus Christ."

I show you a mystery brethren, this evil visitors will still be coming to the house of their formal customer (Mr flesh) to see if his truly dead. But if you want to frustrate their coming to the old tabernacle, then you have to destroy the sign post that is attracting them as if the old man is still there, and build another one or paste another banner with the inscription, *THE NEW MAN IN CHARGE OF THIS TEMPLE HAS BROKEN THE POWER OF SIN ONCE AND FOR ALL*.

May the Holy Spirit open your eyes to understand this mystery better in Jesus name!

Things to destroy and things to now put on:

But now you yourselves are to put off all these:
anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language
out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another,
*since you have put off the old man with his deeds* (vs 8-9).

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and
beloved put on tender mercies, kindness,
humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with
one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone
has a complaint against another; even as Christ
forgave you, so you also must do. But above
all these things put on love, which is the bond of
perfection. And let the peace of God rule in
your hearts, to which also you were called in one
body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ
dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and
admonishing one another in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your
hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in
word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through Him. (12-17).
