Ephesians 2: 10 (NIV)
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
The believer that was raised with Christ in a glorious form has passed and escaped the order of sin and death. The new creation has the nature and the life of God; He is in total oneness with the Father; the incorruptible seed of God resides in Him.
He has gained dominion over all forms and acts of sin. He is a master and a victor. The same measure of authority and power at work in Christ has been vested upon the believer.
The new being in Christ is God’s perfect work of art; the new creation is a miracle. He is holy, justified and sanctified. He is glorified and has become the acceptable beloved of God.
The new man is the being God reckons with and is pleased with. The new creation is in an eternal union with the Father which nothing can break or undo. He is the Father’s choice and delight. This is how God sees us and the more we look right in the Word, we too will begin to see as the Father sees.
Hebrews 2: 11 [KJV]
For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren.
The man in Christ has passed from death to life and He walks in love always. Irrespective of the hatred and the animosity around, he would always find peace within to love all men with uncompromising love.
The love we possess or demonstrate is a testimony or a witness in our spirit that we have passed from death to life, and as we practice it, it will develop until it comes to final fruition.
As we study God’s word and consciously renew our mind daily, our spirit nature would develop and mature in the things of God.
The one who constantly develops his spirit man will gain mastery over all things and will always be on top irrespective of what happens around or whatever seems to limit the average men. He would soar like an eagle and gain speed to rise above all turbulent situations.
DECLARATION
I am God’s perfect work of art, I am a victor in Christ Jesus. I am triumphant and I possess an ever increasing life that brings forth the glory of God in me in every place. Halleluyah!!!
