THE KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU CAME FROM GOD: IT’S WHAT HELPS TO KEEP YOU STAY IN THE REALM OF BEING – ABOVE ONLY!
“For we ARE His WORKMANSHIP [His own master work, a work of art], CREATED in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would WALK in them [LIVING the GOOD life which He PREARRANGED and MADE ready for us]” Ephesians 2:10 Amplified.
It’s a high time to stop any saying that LIMITS you as such or that phrases of yours especially the FAILURE or FAILING concepts as – it RUNS in the family, it’s in the family DNA, it’s in family BLOOD, it’s PART of the family, it’s of the family TREE and we CAN’T help it, like father LIKE son, like mother LIKE daughter and other such like. Such acts of BELIEF and CONFESSIONS, DECLARATIONS, PROCLAMATION and PROCESSING may have been part of your entanglement for limitations and setbacks knowingly or unknowingly. Because it contradicts the NEW CREATION terms of reference on your place in God’s Redemption in Christ Jesus for you. It’s time to REASSESS and REASSURE yourself for the NEW DAWN you, in Christ Jesus.
“Therefore if ANYONE is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a NEW CREATURE [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the OLD THINGS [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, NEW THINGS have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]” 2 Corinthians 5:17 Amplified.
“For neither is CIRCUMCISION anything [of any importance], nor UNCIRCUMCISION, but [only] a NEW CREATION [which is the result of a new birth—a spiritual transformation—a new nature in Christ Jesus]” Galatians 6:15 Amplified.
The KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that can make you to LIVE and be ABOVE ONLY is your ability to come to the terms within you, that God MADE you, created you and you CAME FROM God only THROUGH your Parent’s to fulfill divine PURPOSE of God, and you are not FROM YOUR Parent’s in real terms of doing life and living godly in fulfilling the PURPOSE of God – Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12. This is NEEDFUL in order to FULFILL PURPOSE. Henceforth, you can now stop the ANALOGY and BLAME game ON your Parent’s for your present or past limitations and setbacks.
“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes ALL THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are CALLED according to His PLAN and PURPOSE. 29 For those whom He FOREKNEW [and loved and chose beforehand], He also PREDESTINED to be CONFORMED to the IMAGE of His Son [and ultimately share in His COMPLETE sanctification], so that He would be the firstborn [the most beloved and honored] among many believers. 30 And those whom He PREDESTINED, He also CALLED; and those whom He CALLED, He also JUSTIFIED [declared free of the guilt of sin]; and those whom He JUSTIFIED, He also GLORIFIED [raising them to a heavenly dignity]” Romans 8:28-30 Amplified.
“In Him also we have RECEIVED an inheritance [a DESTINY—we were claimed by God as His own], having been PREDESTINED (chosen, appointed beforehand) according to the PURPOSE of Him who works everything in agreement with the COUNSEL and DESIGN of His will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him as our Lord and Savior] would exist to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:11-12 Amplified.
This knowing and understanding of who you are in God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in Christ Jesus, is needful, otherwise, you will live in your parents image and not in God’s image in you – which you are. For you are of God, made in His image and likeness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 1 John 4:4, 6; Revelation 4:11; Genesis 1:26-28. Be informed today as a reminder and as an awakening, that your parent’s image of you is of a limited abilities and it’s prone to failures and setbacks in all about mortality. God’s image of you as in His WORD that’s governed by the blessed Holy Spirit, is pure in all goodness and it’s irrevocable; for God’s WORD unveils the FULNESS of God about you in Him. And the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of His WORD by the Holy Spirit about you in Him keeps you to be ABOVE ONLY in everyway in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Living in your parent’s images instead of God’s default of you, means the NATURAL human setbacks and limitations in SICKNESS, POVERTY and SPIRITUAL DEATH will set in as a consequence of the Adamic nature – Romans 5:17-21. And that adamic nature, limits you in every level of human endeavours – wherein the SPIRITUAL DEATH is exacerbated and that leads to PHYSICAL DEATH and finally ETERNAL DEATH.
It’s true that Joseph and Mary were and are the vehicle to bring forth Christ Jesus into the world for human Redemption, but Christ didn’t come FROM them. He only came THROUGH them to fulfill PURPOSE – which is the CAUSE of God for human REDEMPTION in Him. Hence Christ wasn’t reckoned after them in terms of REDEMPTION but purely use them as avenue as expected of any to live and operate on the earth. Hence they (Joseph and Mary), as every human being, needed Christ Jesus to have access to God without any special exemptions – Romans 5:1-2.
It’s for this knowing and understanding of who you are of God in Christ Jesus, that will make you rise above your parental image and lineage in every good and perfect way to LIFE and GODLY LIVING. The idea that your parents were and are poverty strickened, uneducated, die of a particular branded sickness and diseases, lives in the low segments of life and such like, should not and cannot be RECKONED to you when you have the knowing and understanding of God’s image of you through His WORD by the Holy Spirit, in everyway of doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING, in Christ Jesus perceptive of God’s BLESSEDNESS.
I pray you come to know and understand that you are FROM God only in essence THROUGH your parents to fulfill purpose as you do LIFE and live GODLY in the EARTLY BUSINESS on the BEHALF of God. It’s time to SEARCH the SCRIPTURES to fashion and condition your image in the similitude of God in you in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
HAVE A BLESSED DAY.
