Yes!!!

I said it, you should die.

Ohhhh you think I'll be scared to tell you the truth? I no dey fear you bros, I no dey fear you aunty.

Oya oya calm down, I'm not talking about the physical death.

You should die to flesh.

That pride.

That bitterness.

That anger.

That lust.

That jealousy

The parts of you that keep choosing what feels good over what is right.

The Bible says we should put to death the deeds of the flesh.

And sometimes, that's exactly what we need.

Not a new environment.

Not new friends.

Not another prayer for God to change everything around us.

Sometimes, we need to let the old us die.

Die to the things that keep pulling us away from God.

Die to the habits we keep making excuses for.

Die to the pride that won't let us say, “I was wrong.”

Die to the desire to have our way all the time.

Because you cannot keep feeding the flesh and expect the Spirit to grow.

So yes...

You should die.

Not so you can cease to exist.

But so the person God is calling you to become can finally live.

What is one thing in you that needs to die?
