The Life Of The New Man

-

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Ephesians 4:20-24 KJV

It is important for every believer to know the kind of life they have in Jesus Christ, in order for them to be able to take full advantage of this life in them. Existence is different from life, every man you see is existing but not every man you see has life, it is God who defines or describes life. For any man to be translated from existing to having life in him or herself, he or she must be born again i.e must have received the life of Jesus Christ. Nobody becomes a new man by what he has done or not done, you become a new man when you receive the life  of Jesus Christ. Scriptures says "He who possesses the son has life...." Any man who is outside Christ is merely existing, he does not have life.

The life you have in Jesus Christ is the God kind of life, a life that is after the order of God. The life you have as a believer right now is Jesus. When you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour,  what changed about you is the Life! This life you now have comes with a quality, you live by the life of God (Zoe) and this life lifts you above the situations of man. This life puts you in the class of God. You don't expect to fail because it is not in your gene. In this life that you have, there is no lack or sickness. In this life that you have prosperity, health, success and so much more abounds. The new man is created after God and as such the word of God is a pointer to you because you were created in the likeness of God. If the word of God is what it takes to know God, then that is what it takes to know you as well. So pay attention to God's word, so that you might know all that has been made available to you in Christ Jesus.

Prophetess Deborah and Lapidoth Judg.4.4 - And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time. You are woman with a high calling from the Lord, your heart is burning with passion, there are dealings along the area of God's purpose , but there is an issue. I have seen God moving mightily upon some women but there is a concern about who will marry them. Beloved sister, first you must know that you dont need to be married to be the best of God for your life or in your calling.  Marriage may give you a status but not a calling. That is why you must be careful. My heart is with you and I can feel your pains. Yes, the pressure of the society will always be there but you must be resolute about your choice of picking your calling or a status. Now this is not to knock up the idea of marriage but to tell you not to “loose” that calling for a status. I want you to know that you can be strong in your calling and still be happily be married, you don...

NOT JUST FORGIVEN, BUT MADE RIGHTEOUS TOO

  For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 At the cross, Jesus did not just take away your sins, but He also gave you His righteousness! A divine exchange took place—your sins for His righteousness. This means that, today, you are as righteous as Christ Himself, not because of your good works, but because of His finished work! So place your hand over your heart right now and boldly declare: I, (state your name), AM the righteousness of God in Christ! Come on, say it out loud at least three times and believe it in your heart. Learn to speak this powerful truth to and over yourself every day. If the enemy tells you, “You’re a bad Christian and that’s why you’re sick,” just declare, “I AM RIGHTEOUS IN CHRIST! By His stripes I am healed!” Beloved, when you meditate on and honor the work of the Son that has made you righteous, you’ll see His healing for every weakness, distress and pain! You’ll see Him ush...

IDENTIFICATION

  IDENTITY IN CHRIST 2Corinthians 5:17 says,  “Therefore if any man be in  Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away;  behold, all things are become new.”  The phrase “in Christ” is a terminology that is used over 300 times in the New Testament, always referring to a vital union relationship with God. Once that takes place, you become  a  new creature. Some  translations  actually say “a new creation.” This leads to  a critical issue that I believe is imperative to  understanding your new identity in Christ: It did not take place in  the physical realm. It  isn’t talking about your physical body, saying that it completely changes, that your looks change. If a person was fat before they were saved, they’ll still be fat afterward, unless they go on a diet. It also isn’t talking about your mental or emotional  part—what most people  consider to be the real “them.” If you weren’t too smart before ...
