Using Alpha Power to Deal with Corruption

UV 2954/10000 Using Alpha Power to Deal with Corruption
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
2 Peter 1 v 4


The root of corruption in this world lies deep within each individual human. We are mandated in this uni-verse to share the DNA or divine nature of Jesus by trusting and appropriating the power in the precious promises of God contained in His word. Lust is the bad root in us that causes corruption. In order to escape, avoid, overcome the corruption in this world to which our flesh is prone, the bad root of lust has to be eradicated from within our souls and the good root of Jesus, the Alpha and Omega of love should be engrafted. Once we are engrafted to the True Vine, we will bear good fruit in every season of our lives. The Alpha of God's Word has a double effect on our lives- it removes the evil root and plants the good root. It acts at three levels- in our spirits, minds and hearts. It shapes our desires and motives.

Instead of being addicted to the evil caused by the lust or the bad root in us that the world has planted and nourished, we can add to our precious faith, we can add goodness, to goodness, we can add knowledge, to knowledge, self control, to self control, to self control-patience, to patience-godliness, to godliness-brotherly kindness and to kindness, add love. In short, once the root of lust is removed from our hearts, minds and lives, we are heading in one direction- all round excellence. We will get rid of corrupt thoughts, corrupt communication, corrupt company, corrupt desires and motives in our lives. From the new root of Christ, will spring forth the new life of love, peace, mercy and hope.

Once the natural inclination of our souls towards lust or corruption is ended, our lives will become productive, blessed, fruitful. We will abound in the fruit of the New Vine of Life of Christ-like love, Christ-like joy, Christ-like peace, Christ-like patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self control. The evil fruit of corrupt communication, corrupt practices, corrupt desires, corrupt actions, corrupt thoughts, corrupt habit and attitudes will cease in our lives. We sow the seed in the spirit and not in the flesh. We feed the spirit and not the lust of the flesh or the pride of the mind when we feed on the Word. We nourish the good root of faith in us through faith in Jesus. The fruit of good deeds and righteousness of character will follow logically as the root takes hold in our souls.
