Live for CHRIST and dead to Flesh.

And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.        Revelation 3:1

The nights of burning the oil, going the extra-mile, doing things many people don't know and you don't really care that they don't know at all, matters. Everything counts, your heart and thoughts towards, everything you do in life as leader, may not matter much to man, but it does to JESUS.

⁶ But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Matthew 6:6 King James Version (KJV)

Days when one does things just to please man, forgetting that JESUS is the author of everything one does (Hebrews 12:2), HE should be the reason for one’s actions and reactions as a leader. JESUS doesn't wait for the end result, HE is already rewarding one based on attitude, intentions and heart to work.

22 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.

Proverbs 22:1 King James Version (KJV)

Preferring a good name over the things of life is a worthy cause. Sticking to the truth, fighting every temptations, making sure you have a clean sheet, no corruption, no false acts acknowledged to you is what CHRIST would love, as a leader for HIM.

³⁶ For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Mark 8:36King James Version (KJV)

It would take everything you have, to live righteously for GOD, do it for HE is worth it!

There is no point, you gain the whole world and later lose your soul, in eternal damnation. The truth is many people don't really think about, later they are always about now.

GOD said something to me, that the remaining books of the Bible seem to be about man, but the Book of Revelation reveals everything is about HIM. It looks like we own today, but when we get to Heaven, we realize everything belongs to HIM.

that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Revelation 3:1

A human life dead to sexual immorality, “illegal money”, drugs and alcohol, worldly music and movies and away with everything one could name as sin, seems hard but truly, it is easy!

³⁰ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Matthew 11:30King James Version (KJV)

12 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Hebrews 12:1 King James Version (KJV)

¹⁴ I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3:14 King James Version (KJV)

To live for CHRIST, grants your mind free of fear of many things of life. You can keep on pushing daily, running the Christian Race, and conquering all obstacles daily as you live for CHRIST.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 1 John 1:7

2 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

Ephesians 2:1 King James Version (KJV)

Living for JESUS ensures letting the world go, work on yourself and ensure that your flesh is dead to sin, and the nothing of this world can be found in you, one way is to fast, ensure you fast at least once a week to help to build your spiritual life. It helps to weaken the flesh and you therefore can hear from GOD clearly, getting true and divine revelations from the HOLY SPIRIT. I have tried it, you will feel and be exceptionally awesome. A lot discipline helps to be strong against the worldly desires

¹³ And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Colossians 2:13 King James Version (KJV)

As you work closely with JESUS, you will grow day by day spiritually ensuring you as a person is dead to sin.
