RHAPSODY OF REALITIES FRIDAY 26TH NOVEMBER.
KNOWING WHO YOU REALLY ARE PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
For we are Godβs [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live] (Ephesians 2:10 AMPC).
Our opening verse is one of the many scriptures in the New Testament that describe who the Christian really is: a new creature; Godβs excellent handiwork, recreated in Christ Jesus. Notice the word βrecreated,β meaning he wasnβt refurbished, but born anew. When you understand this, youβll better appreciate who you are.
What many have known about the Christian is that heβs the redeemed. They quote the Psalmist and sing, βLet the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemyβ (Psalm 107:2). But the Christian is much more than someone saved or redeemed from sin, from the world, from the devil and from death.
The man that was saved or redeemed from the devil was buried in the grave with Jesus. The revelation that we are the redeemed of the Lord isnβt completely true about the personality of the Christian. Remember what the Bible says about Jesus when He was raised from the dead: we were raised together with Him (Ephesians 2:6).
We were raised up as new creatures, new species of being. You donβt have an old life, because your human life was supplanted, replaced with the life of Christ when you were born again. You need to understand the progression of the revelation of the New Testament. The redemption was only the beginning of the process towards sonship: associates of the God-kind.
The new creature was never in bondage. The new creature never sinned. He was born free, and born sin free. Thatβs why the Bible says, βFor sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under graceβ (Romans 6:14). This is why Paul said, β…reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ Lordβ (Romans 6:11). Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Thank you, righteous Father, for the realization that Christianity came from the resurrection. I rejoice, being the fruit of the redemptive work of Christ, a new creation, born with the life and nature of God. I walk in the newness of life, conscious that Iβve been raised together with Christ, and made to sit together with Him in the place of victory, authority and dominion forever, in Jesusβ Name. Amen.
