7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.
8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

THE MESSAGE:
ALSO READ: CAC LIVING WATER FOR TODAY
Anyone
who wants to make impact for God must have the blessings of the
gifts of the Holy Spirit. That is what makes the difference between
the carnally minded and the spiritually minded. Many people are
using their natural gifts and abilities to promote worldly things
and the things of the flesh. Through these, they gain fame and
popularity. But those who are working for God and the expansion of
His heavenly Kingdom are Spirit-filled. Romans 8:5-8 says, "For
they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but
they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be
carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and
peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not
subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that
are in the flesh cannot please God."

For
example, a good orator or motivational speaker can incite or
motivate people towards earthly goals and aspirations but will
achieve little or nothing when it comes to exhortation, preaching,
teaching or evangelism because these natural gifts are devoid of the
Holy Spirit. Natural gifts appeal to the minds of men; they produce
worldly excitement and gratification but the Holy Spirit's
empowerment appeals to the hearts of men, which is God's major
concern. In addition, spiritual gifts have the ability to produce
significant change or transformation in the spiritual and physical
areas of man's life far more than natural gifts.

Therefore,
to succeed in your walk with God and to excel in your service unto
Him, you need the gifts of the Holy Spirit. However, you must
understand that before you can receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit,
you must be born again. You must be a friend of God, a trusted one
at that, who will not misuse or commercialise His gifts. Operating
in the gifts of the Holy Spirit will give you joy unspeakable and
foster a deeper relationship between you and the Almighty God.
