RHAPSODY
OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY TUESDAY 15TH AUGUST 2023.
The
Apostle John’s emphasis in our opening verse above is for God’s people to
“know” that they have eternal life. The word “know” is translated from the
Greek word “eido” and it refers to having knowledge or awareness of something.
It signifies the understanding and certainty of the fact that you possess
eternal life. Sadly, not many Christians know they have eternal life. So, they
pray for it, some fast for it, and others hope to receive it.
Some
others even think they can only enjoy this God-life in heaven, no! Eternal life
isn’t a mere promise or a future expectation. When you were born again, eternal
life was imparted to your human spirit, and at once, you were awakened to the
Fatherhood of God. Eternal life is the God-life; it’s the transcendent life. It’s
indomitable and uninfectable. If someone had a tumour growing in his or her
body, upon receiving eternal life, that tumour should die and dematerialize.
Thank
God for the teaching of His Word and the increased knowledge in the Body of
Christ! Many are becoming more aware of the essence, import, and impact of this
divine life in us. When troubles strike, deal with them from the perspective of
your knowledge of who you are and what you have in Christ. You live in the
realm of incorruptibility, immortality, everlasting joy, peace, and glory;
reigning and ruling over Satan, his demons and the elements of this world.
Hallelujah! Have that consciousness every day of your life. Live and think as
someone who has eternal life. It doesn’t matter the troubles you face in this
world, the solution is within you. Blessed be God!
CONFESSION
I
walk and function in the consciousness that my spirit has been imparted with
eternal life—the God-type of life! Therefore, I live in the realm of
incorruptibility, immortality, everlasting joy, peace and glory; reigning and
ruling over Satan, his demons and the elements of this world. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY
John
3:36;
36 And he
who believes in (has faith in, clings to, relies on) the Son has (now
possesses) eternal life. But whoever disobeys (is unbelieving toward, refuses
to trust in, disregards, is not subject to) the Son will never see (experience)
life, but [instead] the wrath of God abides on him. [God’s displeasure remains
on him; His indignation hangs over him continually.]
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. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God
does not have life.
13 I
write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you
may know that you have eternal life.
John
17:3
3 Now
this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ,
whom you have sent.
