TOPIC: CELEBRATING THE NEW LIFE IN YOU 8
“According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them and be established in THE PRESENT TRUTH” (2 Peter 1:3, 12)
The more you study the word of God, the more convinced you’ll become that Christianity is not a religion but it is life in the supernatural. It is life in Christ, the transcendent life; life beyond failure and defeat. So when you see a believer still living in defeat and failures, that believer lacks knowledge of the truth about his unquestionable identity in Christ as contained in the word of God.
As a child of God, you should know that God’s thoughts are communicated through words and those words are committed to writing; the written word called the Bible. It therefore means that my attitude to the written word is my attitude to God.
Apostle Paul writing to his son Timothy rightly said, “And from a child thou hast know the holy scriptures” (2 Timothy 3:15). It means Timothy must have been exposed to a written document in which he diligently studied. The word “known” as is being used in the above verse of the scripture is “eido” in Greek. It means to comprehend; to come to awareness of the full perception of. By implication, the believer must give himself to the studying of the word to be able to attain this level of awareness.
The outcome will be that his eyes of understanding will be enlightened in the knowledge of Christ leaving him with an impeccable assurance about who he is in Christ; what he has in Christ; and what Christ can achieve through him (Philippians 1:9-10; Ephesians 1:15-19; Colossians 1:9-10).
Since you’re now born again, you’re one spirit with the Lord, you’ve come into union with God that allows you to partake in all that’s available in Christ. Because you’re in union with Deity, it puts you at the same level with Him thereby making failure or defeat an impossible scenario in your life.
Our today’s theme verse affirms the fact that the new creation is blessed already and there’s nothing lacking in him. This is the present truth Apostle Paul wants believers to be established in. As a believer, you’ve been given the earnest of the spirit, it is dwelling in you now. So, all of the miracles, signs and wonders you read about in Acts of the Apostles, you can also perform them.
No wonder Paul reminded us saying, “… all things are yours…” (1 Corinthians 3:21). There’s no level you cannot get to in life; there’s nothing you cannot achieve. What made the Apostles to stand out in their time was the kind of life they possessed and their consciousness to the existence of that life in them.
REFERENCES: Romans 8:11; 3 John 12

PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for your word that has brought the reality of Christianity to light in me. I live beyond failures and defeats in Jesus name – Amen.
WE PASSIONATELY CARE ABOUT YOU
     We believe there is a void in every person that only a relationship with God can fill. We’re not referring to finding religion or joining a particular church we are referring to having a relationship with your heavenly father through his son Jesus Christ. We believe that knowing him is the source of true peace and fulfillment in life we encourage you to pray thus: Jesus, I believe you died for me and rose from the dead I hereby confess you as my lord and savior. I receive the life of God into my spirit and now am born again.
Thank you lord Jesus for the new life I have now in you. In Jesus name – amen.

                                                  January 29. “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11) The life that we’ve been called to live in Christ is the transcendent life. It is a life that’s far removed from failure and defeat. It is a life in the word of God. To manifest the glory and splendor of this life, the word of God should become an integral part of us; what we live by. At salvation, we became associates of the God-kind; we’re joint heirs with Christ. Why then should any Christian suffer defeat and pain? The problem is that we’ve not given the word of God its proper place in our lives. God gave us His word to live by. His word is the revelation of His will, nature and character an...

February 18. “The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available (dynamic in its working)” (James 5:16 Amp) The happenings in our environments and the world over calls for our importunity in prayer. Out of ignorance a lot of people are blaming God for certain occurrences in their lives. But if things must change in the direction of God’s original plans and purposes, then we must keep praying. God knows that there’s no situation a child of His cannot change because the divine power necessary to effect such change is already resident in you; it was deposited in you the moment you became born again. God doesn’t expect you to cry out for help or start complaining but He expects you to enforce your victory in the place of prayer. I Kings 17 tells us of Elijah’s  confrontation with Ahab the king where he said, “… As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my ...

                                                  January 19. “And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great” (Genesis 26:13) Child of God, your journey this year has been ordained only in one direction – upward and forward. This is exactly the way God has called you to live your life. He wants your life to be that of progressand advancement – not in theory but practically. It means that at the end of this year, success will be evidently seen in every area of your life. This is because as a joint heir with Christ, you have the nature to be absolutely successful. You must therefore make up your mind to develop a consciousness – a mentality that’s consistent with your personality in Christ. Bible says, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7). So, you must refuse thoughts of failure occupy your heart bec...
