Romans 8:5-6 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.

So the key to walking in the spirit as against walking in the flesh is simply the things you set your mind on. So Romans 8:5 says, “For those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.”

You see, the more you discuss and think on fleshly things, the more fleshly you become. What then should you do? Intentionally set your thinking and emotions and affections on the things of the Spirit. You can set it – it’s your own mind. Ask yourself, How much of your time in the day do you think about the Word of God? Out of your daily 24hrs, how much of it is spent in the presence of God or on the things of God? How often do you discuss spiritual things with those you call friends and colleagues? Selah!

You see, these are all things you can do to help you set your mind on the things of the spirit. Be intentional about it: Constantly put yourself in an environment where spiritual things are discussed. Train yourself to think and meditate on the spiritual. This won’t happen by itself – you have to be conscious and intentional and emotional about it. You will be mortifying the desires and misdeeds of the flesh and upholding the things of the spirit in your life, as a result. This will produce abundant life in your living. Glory to God!
