THE GOD-LIFE IN YOU
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life… (1 John 5:11-12)
Eternal life isn’t just about living forever; it’s the God- life in you; the organic and existential attributes of deity in you, which makes you taxonomically different from the natural man. This life makes you superior to Satan, sickness, disease, failure, and death.
The Lord Jesus didn’t come to give us religion; He came to give us the God-life (John 10:10). In John 10:27- 28, He said, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish….” When you have eternal life, you’re severed or separated from those who could perish.
John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Eternal life makes you indestructible and invincible. It makes you a partaker of the divine nature. As one who’s born again and has received the God-life, you’re hundred per cent divine despite having a human body.
Your body is the outer casing for the real you, your spirit, wherein is the life and nature of God. That’s the reason your body is impacted by the power and glory of the God-life in you. Another beautiful truth is that you’re a distributor of that life—the God-life in you.
Anything and anyone you touch comes alive because you’re born in the image and similitude of the life giver, the Lord Jesus Christ, the second and last Adam (read 1 Corinthians 15:45-47 ESV). As He is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17). You’re a life-giver, a minister of life.
Wherever you go, you bring healing, peace and transformation. When you lay your hands on the sick, the life in you flows out of you to bring restoration. When you speak words of faith, life is transmitted into every situation. You’re of a higher class, a divine species, chosen and separated by God to manifest His life, glory and righteousness in the earth. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me eternal life and thus elevating me to your class of being. I function with divine wisdom, power and excellence. I’m a dispenser of life and the fragrance of your glory everywhere; thank you, Lord, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
