Minister: Rev. Evans Omollo - Assistant Provost at All Saints' Cathedral, Nairobi

Yesterday, we reflected on our spiritual possessions in Christ where we discovered that our spiritual riches as believers are incomparable to nothing in this world. We learned that we belong to God and that our salvation is priceless. Today, we reflect on our spiritual position in Jesus. Paul reminds the believers in the church in Ephesus of their previous condition of sin (1-3). He tells them that they were dead in their sins as they followed the ways of the world. We were under the influence of Satan who controlled our lives and led us to gratify the desires of the flesh. It simply means, like the Ephesians, those who today follow the dictates of the desires of the flesh and submit to the ruler of this world are spiritually dead. To be spiritually dead means being conditioned to sin at will and succumbing to every manipulation of Satan to disobey God. We therefore become enemies of God.
