Flesh And Blood

by Olawale Ogunsola  
5/05/2023 / Christian Apologetics

Flesh and blood form a major and essential part of every man. No man has life in him who lacks these two. Therefore, everyone who will live on Earth must possess these two vital parts.

On the other hand, these parts must not be allowed to dictate the ways of a man or how he runs his race in life. Otherwise, the results will be rueful, leaving the person to lick his fingers.

Why is this so?

As important as these parts are, both generate corrupt reasonings that are not always dependable for the good of a man.
Not only that, when there is any divine revelation, it is always beyond the comprehension of flesh and blood. If divine Revelation points to the right, the flesh will either condemn it or come up with entirely different options that will be of little or no benefit to whom the revelation was directed. Divine revelations are always dented by flesh and blood.

It is not only interested in working against divine revelations, it cannot reveal any. This weakness became glaring when Peter declared the Sonship of the Lord Jesus Christ. He had wanted to know Who they perceived Him to be. Flesh and blood came up with many wrong revelations. All disciples had something wrong to say about Who Jesus was to them, Matthew 16:13-17.

When Peter made Him known, "17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven." Matthew(King James Version, KJV).

Flesh and blood raise objections to spiritual things and revelation which in turn work against the revelations of the Lord. Anytime suggestions of the flesh and blood are mixed with God's pronouncements or revelations, the results are not tolerable.

Apostle Paul catches the picture right when he declared his decision about flesh and blood thus, "16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:" Galatians 1.

Beloved, watch and pray so that flesh and blood will not become the controllers of your life and destiny. Stay blessed and prepared for the imminent coming of the Lord.
