THE CRUCIFIED LIFE - John 12:24
Paul told the Corinthians 'Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it dies' - 1Cor 15:36. The power of resurrection is hidden in the mystery of death. No death, no resurrection and no fulfillment, no fruiting. Many lives are useless to God because of refusal to die. Until we die to the flesh we abide alone, meaning we are useless to the kingdom of God and have a hopeless future. Apostle paul was one of the most fruitful servants of God ever known, hear him. 'I am crucified with Christ; nevertheless i live;yet not I, but Christ lives in me...' - Gal 2:20.
Question:
1. What is a crucified life?
2.How do i know I am living a crucified life?
3.Do I have to ask Christian friends to physically ask christian friends to nail me to the cross?
4.Last week a Redeemed member in his middle 20s was fasting and cut off his manhood because it was as he said 'causing him to sin' and Jesus said to cut off any part that would lead you to sin. Isn't this the best way to live a crucifies life?

Prayer: O Lord, I yield to the Holy Spirit totally, my Spirit soul and body, I surrender to you. Take full control of my will, emotion and desires. Work in me that which seemeth right in thy sight. Give me power to not be desirous of vain glory.
