WHOM WE ARE IN CHRIST

Then God said let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, let them have dominion over the fish over of the sea, over the birds of the air and over the cattle, over all the earth. So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them the bible said that God blessed them and He said to them be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves on the earth - Genesis 1 : 26 - 28. 

 If God created us in His own image therefore we are like God that is why in the book of Psalm 82 : 6 it says that ''we are gods and all of you are children of the Most High''. Brethren, lion will always give birth to a lion and goat will always give birth to a goat, so since we are the children of God so we are gods. Since we are gods, we are not supposed to think as the worldly people thinks, for those who has accepted Him, what move the world is not suppose to move us, what does not move God is not suppose to move us.

That is why in John 3 : 6  it says that which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit and therefore we are spirit as God is a Spirit. The big letter ''S'' represent God and small letter ''s'' represent you and me. God expect us to think like Him because He has planted that seed of greatness in us.

In John 4 : 24 it is stated very clear that ''God is a Spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth''. You are specially made. God is interested in everything that concerns you no matter how small it is. Therefore, anything you want to do present it to God first and look for the scripture that talks about such and use it.

In John 8 : 12 Jesus said  I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life and in Matt. 5 : 14 He said  ''you are the light of the world'' since we accept Him as our Lord and Personal Saviour He now put that same light in Him into us. In verse 16 He says '' let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven''.

The bible says in 1 peter 2 : 9 that ''we are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you mayproclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light''. 

Brethren, we no more in darkness because He has called us out of it. No area of our life is in dark any more no matter what the devil might be placing in our mind, we are not suppose to succumb to that negative thought. The devil is a liar. Jesus Christ delt with him both in the cross and in the grave so he is a failure in every area.

Father Lord, I thank you for this knowledge you gave to us through which we know what You have done for us. You sent Your only Son Jesus Christ to come and redeem the world from the grip of slavery of sin. Help us to continue to remember the value of the sacrifice Jesus Christ has paid for us. Also give us the grace to walk in holiness, purity and sanity. Help us to serve You the way You want us to serve. Let the Holy Spirit continue to lead us so that we cannot go astray in Jesus name.
