Who is your master ?

Topic: Who is your master ?

Text: Romans 6:12-18 KJV
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. [13] Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. [14] For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. [15] What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. [16] Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? [17] But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. [18] Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

Matthew 6:24 KJV
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

You must serve someone
1. Flesh
2. Spirit

This two must lead us somehow but to whom you yield to is your master

WHY IS GOD ASKING US THIS QUESTION TODAY, WHO IS YOUR MASTER ?

Malachi 1:6 KJV
A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the Lord of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?

God want to know what you claim you are to him, as a workers as a christian, as a minister, where is his honour ? Where is Gods reference in us the way we worship him ? Is God please ? If men is okey with you is God okey ?

WHY WE MUST TAKE OUR STATUS ?
its because Our God is a jealous God, he won't bless you and allow you to use the blessing to serve Satan

WHAT IS SINFUL NATURE ?
Romans 7:18-20 KJV
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. [19] For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. [20] Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

If you are in the category of sinful nature, there is nothing good in it according to the scripture.
THIS ARE THE PRODUCT OF PEOPLE LIVING IN FLESH
Galatians 5:19-21 KJV
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these ; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, [20] Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, [21] Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
THIS PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS CHARACTER WILL NOT GET TO HEAVEN UNLESS THEY REPENT

WHAT IS RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD (living in the spirit)
If God is your master you are save and forever

BENEFIT OF LIVING IN THE SPIRIT (RIGHTEOUSNESS)
If you make God your master,

Psalm 103:2-6 KJV
Bless the Lord , O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: [3] Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; [4] Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; [5] Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. [6] The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

CONCLUSION
Romans 6:22 KJV
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
