Episode 209 - The Necessity of Replacement

Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.Any one who has done gardening knows the importance of getting the ground ready before you plant. If you simply chop holes into a grassy field and plant some seeds, your harvest is going to be puny — if there is any production at all. Instead you have to break up the ground, take out the rocks, and remove the weeds.Preparing the ground is only the first step. If you just prepare the ground and leave it you will mostly grow weeds and not garden. Those pesky weeds will move in and take over the whole plot. You must sow the right seeds!A vital part of breaking a bad habit is replacing it with a good one. It is easy to focus on just removing the old way, but we must also focus on investing in a new way to live for Christ. If your life is filled with the Spirit of God, the devil will find he has little room to operate.
