Battle to victory over self

It is a task that many are not conscious about.Yet it is our everyday task. Fighting against self, fighting inside yourself and fight with self. I have found so much to write in this theme since it is a wide topic that can make up a book.
However since I am not in the making of authoring a book, I shall handle the issue in Paul's view.

Inside us is a sturbon man of flesh who enjoys comfort and pleasure as long as we feed him with the nutrients for activity.
Let's check what Paul says

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live for by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
Gal 2:20 NKJV.

Until you become conscious of the power of the cross of Jesus in your life , you will struggle with the flesh and the old man.
That's Why Paul categorically shares his position and status in regard to the Saviour; it is no longer that live but Christ who lives in me...

That said, the work of the cross is already established in your life and you are consciously aware that your victory belongs to God.

You can can confidently say like Paul that; "I have been crucified with Christ. .."
The reason being, only the justification by faith  in Jesus Christ through His cross results to the righteousness that comes from God.
And, this is the greatest achievement for every believer in God; knowing that it is basically the righteousness of God that we require.
Paul clearly reiterated

...and be found in Him not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith. .
Philipians 3:9 NKJV.

Understand therefore that your victory against what brings unrest in you can only be achieved through faith in the Son of God.

For in him your flesh dies, in him your spirit man is awakened for activity that concerns Godliness.
We are therefore given a solution to the weaknesses of the flesh through the grace of God hence leaving us with no reason for any excuse.

Embrace the Cross of victory today and start reigning in your life together with Jesus Christ the hope of glory.

GOSPEL EN RADICALISATION; BACK HOME

Someone said radical.He said radicalisation. If it's on the physical; I would rest my case here. Many people have walked the path of Christianity, we are walking on this journey too. This time, letting the world know that we are born again.And I keenly observed with concern, the uncompromising steps of the first apostles.They oriented not into a form of godliness but into a call in acted and driven by the truth of the gospel whose power ring daily in their hearts.       Back to the word I introduced to us; Radicalisation. This is the age of spiritual revolution.I foresee men and women who tire of following a blind talk and are unapologetically turning out to be disciples of Christ and not of some religious orientation. Remember this is the age where you can't differentiate between a disciple and a fan. So what's up with this thing called radicalisation? It's simply getting dissatisfied with the current trends of compromise and complacency and seeking for truth found in

Working unto the righteousness of God

Everyone who believes become a slave to something for a foundation. Today many believe, and I also believe. Nevertheless, the question at the table is; what do you believe? I am convinced and more so convicted that true faith brings a certain assurance of the subject. Today if you claim to believe start claiming to hold onto the subject of foundation and let it out clearly.   Will you start building a foundation on untrue things?Untruthfulness will build the walls also.Be careful.You can not contradict the materials of the foundation with those of the body. They must agree. If you choose right then righteousness will be the foundation and the building will stand strong made up on true things. The same way, many Christians today are struggling to build their faith simply because the foundation is errored. They might have built on denominations and literal religious performance rather than on Christ Jesus the Cornerstone.Others are so much obsessed with self-righteousness that they
