Success of Spirituality
Spirituality based on the word of God makes one to obey the Lord; think, talk and act like Him. This

Eve
In Genesis 3, we have the story of the temptation of man. There, Eve was carnally minded, leading to the
spiritual death of man. She was so engrossed with satisfying her flesh that she disregarded the com-
mand of God that they should not eat the fruit of that tree. And she fell into this temptation because she
focused on the devil's words and the beauty of the fruit. So, the lust of the eyes and the flesh had an up-
per hand over her than her spirit. This led to them leaving the beautiful Garden of Eden
The Shunammite woman
On the other hand, in 2 Kings 4:8-37 we have the story of the Shunammite woman who was barren but
spiritually minded. She perceived Elisha as a man of God and went ahead to make him comfortable each
time he came to her town. This action of hers led to her conception and delivery of a male child because
Elisha blessed. Also, her spirituality restored the boy back to life when he died. For, she didn't wail like a
woman who didn't know the power of God that resided on Elisha. Rather, she sent for him to come and
restore the boy back to life without even informing her husband of the death of the boy.
