Hello brethren,
My name is Chukwuka Blessing Oluchukwu.
Today is the 23rd day of April 2021.
I am here to share with you what I learnt from today's mass indoctrination service tagged "Being an inward man".
There are some people who are human outwardly but inside they are beast, while their some who are human but inwardly and outwardly.
An inward man is a man that has a spirit of God living in him.
Apostle Paul prayed in (Eph. 3:16) . He asked God to strengthened us with this power through His Spirit “into the inner man”.
We need to be strengthened with power through His Spirit into the inner man.
The strengthening, strictly speaking, does not originate from within us; it comes from the heavens, from the throne, and is being transmitted into us. This strengthening is something living, transmitting, and flowing.
Many times we have the feeling that there is something within us strengthening us. With this strengthening, there is the flowing of the Spirit within us.
Something is being transmitted and imparted into us by this flowing. This is the strengthening with power through His Spirit into the inner man.
The issue of this strengthening is “that Christ may make His home in your hearts” ( Ephesians 3:17). Not only is Christ in our spirit, but also, as a person, He must inhabit our whole inward being, our heart.
The heart is composed of the three parts of the soul—the mind (Matt. 9:4; Heb. 4:12), the emotion (John 16:6, 22), and the will (Acts 11:23; Heb. 4:12)—plus the conscience (Heb. 10:22; 1 John 3:20), a part of the spirit. The heart includes all our inward parts. This means that when we are strengthened into our inner man, Christ will take over our entire inward being.
When we are strengthened into our inner man, into our spirit, it will be easy for Christ as the indwelling Spirit to saturate every inward part of our being, to take over our mind, our emotion, and our will. Then Christ can settle down in our being, making His home in our hearts.
Christ is in us, but He may not be settled in us. If I come to your home as a guest, I am in your home, but I am not settled there. I can only go where you would allow me. I have seen your home, but I have not made my home there. In the same way, Christ is in us, but not settled in us.
We should allow Christ make home in our heart
After the strengthening of the inner man and Christ’s making His home in our hearts, there is a third item: “That you may be filled unto all the fullness of God” (Eph. 3:19). When our inner man is strengthened, there is a free way for Christ to take full possession of our entire being, making His home in our hearts. Then we will be filled, not with doctrines or knowledge, but with the riches of Christ unto all the fullness of God. All this fullness dwells in Christ (Col. 1:19; 2:9). Through His indwelling, Christ imparts the fullness of God into our being. Eventually, whatever God is in His fullness will be our content.
When we have God In our life, we will have human sympathy, we won't act like a beast to our fellowmen.
We should not be like men, According 2 peter 2:21-22, that prefer doing wrong
Men that act as Dog that goes back to eats his vomit.
Also the book of proverb 26:11, refers a fool doing some stupid thing a second time as a dog going back to his vomit.
We should ack kindly to our fellowmen even to our children that God
We should not be like women that flush their babies in toilet or men who rapes their child
May we never forget these two prayers in the book of Ephesians. We need a spirit of wisdom and revelation that we may see the church, and we need our inner man to be strengthened that we may live and experience all that we have seen.
Thanks for reading.
