Crucify SELF- for Victory
You have to begin your life at the cross.
It is only then you can sustain your life and will have strength to go deeper into Christ life and also grow bigger and larger for the glory of God.If you are not crucified to the cross along with Jesus, if your flesh weaknesses are not dealt with, then you are not ready to be blessed; blessing without dealing you on the cross in your flesh will lead to the corruption of your blessing and resulting in no glory for Christ.

* As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world's interest in me has also died-Gal 6:14 (NLT)
* My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me-Gal 2:20
** Now don't mistake these verses to mean that God wants you to shut the world down out of you.NO! You are to be there right in the midst of the world.But before that you need to let your self die with all its desires and self-will, so that God can fulfill your desires in a much better way and at appointed time.Your self-life/thoughts should not cause hindrance to God.You should be willing to wait for God's will and willing to accept God's methods, which are much better and superior to your own.
KEY: When you (your self) are dead on the cross, you will easily, willingly be ready to Trust him with your life,Time and methods.
