TOPIC:GOD’S WORD: A STRONGER REALITY 4

“Therefore, if any man be in Christ he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new”
(2 Corinthians 5:17)

There’s nothing as bad as living without having a precise knowledge of who you are in Christ if you born again. Jesus’ success on earth was built on his realization of His proper identity and the Jew would always get offended whenever He told them of His identity. That’s what we face also today when we tell some religious folks about our identity as believers in Christ.
Beloved, the revelation of what you are in Christ as contained in the epistles is what guarantees an unquestionable security in life. Because to live life without knowing who you are in Christ is to keep living in the past and missing the future. When the devil discovers that you don’t know who you are in Christ, he knows that such a life is a good place to play his prangs.
Jesus, after walking with His disciples for three years, one day decided to test their knowledge as it concerned His identity. After erroneous responses from them, Peter by revelation declared that He (Jesus) is the son of God. In response Jesus said to Peter, “… And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock (the resurrected Christ not the incarnate Christ) I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give (promissory note) unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heave: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatsoever thou shalt loose in earth shall be loosed in heave” (Matthew 16:18-19).
It therefore means that a believer will only have full and precise knowledge of who he is where he has same dimension of revelation of Christ. This is because the new creation is in Christ. Again, what Jesus meant in His response to Peter is that what gives access to the realities of the kingdom is not the bottle of oil, not sand, not sprinkling of water but revelation; the key to the kingdom is revelation.
The Bible says we’re joint heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17). So stop reviling your past, you have access to all that your Father (God) has. Be convinced of this, believe it and live by it and you’ll never be defeated in life.
REFERENCES: Galatians 4:5; 2 Corinthians 3:1
PRAYER: 
Dear Father, thank you for the revelation of your word that keeps opening my eyes to the realities of your kingdom. By revelation I enjoy all that’s available in the kingdom, 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...
