Theme: Sharing God’s Nature!
Memory Verse:
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust (2 Pet 1:4).
Beloved
We became spiritually born again, as “sons”, so that we may SHARE and ENJOY the Divine Nature of God in Christ Jesus.
God speaking through Prophet Isaiah says: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts (Isa 55:7). So unrighteousness is at the level of our thoughts. What do we do if we find ourselves becoming unrighteous in our thoughts? We should learn to take every unrighteous thought captive until it is obedient to the words of Christ (2 Cor 10:5).
What are some of these DIVINE NATURE of God in Christ Jesus. These include: righteousness, holiness, purity, humility, power, wisdom, understanding, mercy, faith, peace, sincerity, honesty, justice, prosperity, truth, integrity and love etc. LOVE is unquestionable, the greatest of the divine nature of God. Indeed, the word of God says “God is love” (1 John 4:8).
How can we share God’s nature? By spending time with Him in FAITH. Can a man stay very close to the FIRE and be feeling COLD? Please, answer me!
Jesus Christ died on the cross for us to REPRODUCE himself in us. He died to reproduce his health, purity, humility, nature, habit, righteousness etc in us. The Scripture rightly says that Jesus is our righteousness. No man can ever be righteous on his own. This is why Apostle says of Christ:
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (2 Cor 5:21).
The Psalmist speaking through the Holy Spirit says: I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High ( Psalm 82:6). The reason why true believers may not live their lives with this consciousness is ignorance: They know not, neither would they understand ( verse 5).
Truly, man is a spirit. In the words of Job: But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding (Job 32:8). The spirit man loves to be daily nourished with the words of God (Matt 4:4).
Prayer: Receive increasing grace to share the Divine Nature of God in Christ in Jesus Name. Amen!
Yours in Christ. Ben Bassey, Iyobosa, & the MOW family
