Romans 8:14 (NKJV) "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God."
Daniele’s story reminds us that being born again is the beginning of our journey, not the end. While salvation reconnects us to God, our daily choices determine whether we will live in the fullness of the life we’ve received.

Living by the Spirit requires intentionality. It involves yielding to the Holy Spirit’s guidance, meditating on God’s Word, and committing to a life of prayer and fellowship with other believers. These practices strengthen our spirit and help us mortify the deeds of the flesh.

Consider Paul’s admonition in Galatians 5:16:
"Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh."

Walking in the Spirit means allowing the Holy Spirit to direct every area of your life. It means saying “yes” to God’s ways, even when it’s inconvenient, and “no” to the sinful desires of the flesh. This walk is not about perfection but about persistence.

Steps to Living by the Spirit:
1. Daily Communion with God: Begin each day with prayer and Bible reading. Let God’s Word renew your mind and guide your actions.
2. Guard Your Heart: Be mindful of what you expose yourself to, whether it’s media, conversations, or relationships. These can either strengthen or weaken your spirit.
3. Stay Accountable: Surround yourself with mature believers who can encourage and guide you in your walk with Christ.
4. Rely on Grace: Understand that the power to overcome sin is not in your strength but in God’s grace working through you.

When you choose to live by the Spirit, you experience the abundant life Jesus promised (John 10:10). You grow in the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). Your relationship with God deepens, and you walk in His purpose and power.

Go into today remembering that living by the Spirit is a journey of transformation. As you consistently yield to the Spirit, you’ll grow stronger in your faith, and the pull of the flesh will weaken.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for giving me Your Spirit to guide and strengthen me. Help me to walk in the Spirit daily and put to death the deeds of the flesh. Fill me with Your grace to live a life that pleases You. Amen.
—Abraham Damilola Arigi
