the New Kind Of Life

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Jesus Christ presence was felt wherever He went. He turned water into wine when there was shortage. He brought fishes to end Peter & Co’s desperation after toiling for a whole night. He healed the sick and even raised the dead. People were dying for His presence because they knew that He was full of great power and glory.

This same Jesus Christ is in You. This means that your spirit is filled with all He is. There shouldn’t be lack and want, sicknesses and diseases, fear of the unknown, scarcity, etc in your life. He is your sufficiency. He is your power. He is your everything.

Today can be the day that you conscientize yourself and keep reminding yourself that Jesus Christ, who is the Wisdom and Power of God Almighty lives in you. Light dispels darkness wherever it goes. Therefore Jesus Christ and sicknesses, pains, lack and want, fear, etc can’t live in the same Life. This is the new kind of life; Jesus Christ living on the inside, making you sufficiently capable to do what God called you to do.

Activate this conscientiousness and your life will never be the same. God has already given you Jesus and He has made every other thing readily available for you.

God did not keep back his own Son, but he gave him for us. If God did this, won’t he freely give us everything else?

(Romans 8:32, CEV)

IDENTITY CHECK: Do You Know You?

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

One challenge in the body of Christ has to do with Identity. That is the realization of who we are and how we are supposed to function. This is serious because it is becoming difficult to distinct a believer from an unbeliever when it comes to dealing with issues about this life.

Do you know YOU?

Scenario: A guy traveled to UK and became citizen through marriage. On record he is British but until he accepts the truth about his new identity, he would never enjoy the healthcare system, and other benefits. He may see people from his native country struggling because they are undocumented citizens. He may interact with them but his identity sets him apart when it comes to what he can do, where he can go, and what he can get in the UK.

  • Reality Check:
    • Jesus said

    “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father”

    (John 14:12, NLT)

    Note what He said “anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater work…”
    May I submit to you that you are more powerful than any superhero you have ever seen or watched.
    Jesus is your STRENGTH and He declared you Victorious before your battle began. You are not ordinary.

  • The Enemy’s Strategy:

    • Satan’s job is simple: He is happy to keep you ignorant about your New Creation Status. Because when you know and accept that the Spirit of I AM lives in you and experience His mighty power, nothing shall be impossible for you.

    Scenario: Someone (undocumented) talked the guy into thinking that he is the same person who came to the UK and he can never be live British because there are many laws in the country. The person talked about how unfair the UK government can be when it comes to breaking laws and how there are many CCTV watching everybody. This undocumented fellow wants to keep the guy from knowing his new identity so that both can be scared about the same events and circumstances.
    The enemy’s strategy is to keep you bound in the old system so that you never really enjoy the benefits you are entitled to.

    My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. (Hosea 4:6, NIV)

  • How to Win

    • There are lots of information about what a person can do once he/she becomes a citizen of a country. Governments spend money on this because they want you to know the benefits of your new identity. They want you to understand the new laws and to live in a way that distinct you from citizens of other countries. It therefore becomes your responsibility to educate yourself and seek for help when necessary.

    This is true about your spiritual journey. Your new nature needs to be fed with information about it’s identity so that you can distinguish yourself from the world. Unbelievers are undocumented citizens in God’s Kingdom and they don’t have access to the Holy Spirit. They don’t have access to the privileges you have and the Grace Factor is impracticable for them.

    Always remember Jesus’ Words that

    I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father”

    (John 14:12, NLT)

    Maybe you can try to answer this question again:

    Do you know YOU?
    Can you think about some things you know about your New Creation Status?

    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, AMP)

    Are You Fit For The Kingdom? (1.5min Read)

    Posted on by Uplifting Christ

    Someone once told me that “you can take a person out of Britain but you can’t take Britain out of the person“. He said it because he found it difficult to switch from his normal British breakfast to the country in which he was a resident. The statement means you can take the physical body out of a country but you can’t take the culture out of the person. This explains why you see Turkish restaurants, Chinese restaurants, african market, etc in towns and cities. This also explains why some people, although on foreign land, wear their local dresses for occasions. The culture is imbibed in them and until they reprogram themselves, they will forever live within two customs and beliefs.

    These physical activities can be used to demonstrate the struggle believers face in their new lives in Christ Jesus. God paid the price to buy us from an old and corrupt system ruled by the devil. Legally, the enemy knows that the SOLD label is tagged on us and he has no business in our businesses.

    But we make his job easier by the manner in which we live. Like the Turkish guy who has naturalized to be a British citizen but occasionally visits Turkish restaurants, we (believers) sometimes desire our old lives and slip into it. This was an issue Paul dealt with the early church and it’s still prevalence today.

    But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.”

    (Luke 9:62, NLT)

    Following Jesus Christ is a decision you made. To decide is to cut off. That is to KILL any other alternative. That was why Jesus said that a person who decides to follow him and keeps looking back isn’t fit for the Kingdom of God. “Remember Lot’s wife” (Luke 17:32).

    Assess your life today. Is there anything that trips you often? Is there a habit, belief, or relationship that tempts you to look back? Like a restaurant/shop you visit when you feel for old habits. The truth is that the restaurant (Old Lifestyle) will be opened as long as you live on earth BUT you’ve got to reprogram your mind that No Turning Back.

    The danger you face is whatever trips you becomes a foothold for the devil to strike your life with scarcity, sicknesses, fear, and even death. God isn’t only interested in keeping you in a box but He is interested in your Safety and Security, which can be found inside the Box. The Box is Jesus Christ. In Him you will find everything you need and the more you grow in Him, the more you will realize that nothing really outside the Box is important. They are bait the enemy uses to destroy God’s children. Think about this; a man/woman married for 20 years sneaked out for one-night stand, got caught, humiliated, and his/her entire reputation is destroyed. The Trust he/she built for 20 years (175200hrs) is destroyed within 24hrs. It’s sad.

    I’m not here to condemn you or to make you feel bad. But with a simple question; Are You Fit for the Kingdom of God? Only You can answer it Best. You can make God smile by deciding to quit and talk like Paul that “My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20, NLT)
