SPIRITUALITY?

Sometimes we think we are more spiritual than other days because we had a prayer marathon, read many chapters in the bible, gave to the poor and preached life transforming sermons. Interesting! We call this spirituality. If we wake the next day and that feeling is no more then we think we are no more spiritual and God has left. A spiritual walk has nothing to do with our feelings. We don't get into right standing with God because we feel good today. The life of a spiritual man is evidenced by fruits. We should learn to live above our feelings. To walk in the spirit is to walk in the light of God's word. Jesus said, the words I speak to you are spirit and life. If we live by the teachings of Jesus, you are walking in the spirit. One may inflate his ego by praying for 10hours a day but may not be spiritual. What many call spiritual is soulish. Where are your fruits "mr. spiritual man"? Where is your obedience to God's word mr. spiritual man? Sometimes I hear people say this brother is spiritual, that sister is spiritual. Are they spiritual because they are good at preaching standing behind the pulpit and shouting on top of their voices to show that they are spiritually filled or they are spiritual because they are manifesting the fruits of the spirit? Friends, let us not be deceived. Let us not only measure our level of spirituality by the number of hours in prayer or by other kind deeds we do. Self righteousness is a big disease in christiandom and many are blinded by it. What fruit are we bearing? If we are not walking in the ways of Jesus showing our fruits and giving glory to Him all our self styled spirituality will be in vain. We should humble ourselves and ask The Holy Spirit if we are on track or we are walking in our own righteousness. Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seems right to a man but its end is death. Don't be blinded by your self righteousness. Seek His truth. He loves the lowly in heart. May your eyes be opened to His truth as you seek to know more of His truth. 

Glory To Jesus.
