RHAPSODY OF REALITIES
DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY THURSDAY 10TH AUGUST 2023.
The
opening verse is a profound statement from Jesus. It says whoever believes in
Him, shall not perish but have eternal life; that’s you. It also brings to mind
the words of Scripture in Colossians 1:26-27: “Even the mystery which hath been
hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To
whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among
the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Christ in you means
eternal life within! This subject in scripture calls for deep meditation.
First, let’s consider the definition of eternal life.
What
exactly is it? Eternal life refers to the life and nature of God: that is, the
God-life. Just as there is plant life and animal life, the animal life can
further be categorized into human life and various other forms of biological
life. However, there’s a distinct kind of life—the God-life. God is the author
of life, and everything we consider as “life” emanates from Him. He is life
personified. Thus, His very life, His nature, was birthed within us when we
were born again. Does this mean we possess two lives?” No!
When
you were born again, a new life was introduced into your spirit, and the human life
with which you were born of your earthly parents was supplanted by the life and
nature of God. The Bible says, “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). This simply implies that we’re divine beings, divine
creatures, and our divine nature makes us masters over circumstances, with
dominion over Satan and the world’s deplorable systems. No wonder the Apostle
Peter calls us associates of a heavenly pantheon—comrades of the God-kind (2
Peter 1:4). Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
My
divine nature has made me a master over circumstances, with dominion over the
world’s deplorable systems. My old life has been completely supplanted by the
divine life, which is superior to sickness, disease, defeat and all depravities
that affect the natural man. The nature of righteousness causes me to walk in
God’s perfect will today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY
Galatians
2:20;
20
I have been crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is
no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now
live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and
complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
1 John 5:11-13 NIV;
11
And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in
his Son.
