NEW BIRTH CONNECTS YOU TO A SUPERNATURAL SOURCE.

Dear Treasured friend,

Grace and Peace be showered upon you in abundance in Jesus name! You are born of God, and everyone born of God is born a star, and by destiny a child of Exploits.

You are not born again to suffer again; you are born again to reign again. And I am glad to announce to you that the best of life is in Christ. New birth connects you to a supernatural sources, a divine root, so that whatever God is worth becomes your worth.

As a child of God you are destined to shine on the earth, and it must sink deep into your mind that you are created to be a star, a pace-setter in your generation, a guiding light to those in darkness, an impact maker, design to succeed where others fail, and conquer the obstacles others fear.

I read in one of Kenneth Hagin’s monthly magazines some couple of years ago, a story appearing in the news that shocked people throughout the nation of America as we read. A seventy one year old woman, who weighed only 50 pounds and had begged door to door for food, died of malnutrition in a nursing home after spending the last few days of her life there.

When the authorities investigated her case, they discovered that she had left behind a fortune. There were more than a million dollars of assets in two safety deposit boxes-$800,000 dollars at the sum was in cash, and the remaining worth was in valuable shares of stock. She had such wealth at her fingertips, and she probably had enough money in that safety deposit box to buy the best restaurant in the whole city, yet she died because she didn’t have enough to eat.

Some people might say, “She was a fool” but today, sitting in churches all over the globe, there are Christians who are just as foolish as she was. What do I mean by that? I mean that there are Christians who are living in spiritual poverty even though Christ has made them rich.

Whatever the Bible says belonged to us is ours- we are heirs and joint heirs with Christ Jesus, yet not all Christians avail themselves of the riches of heaven that have already been put into their accounts through Jesus. The riches are available to them, all they have to do is open the safety deposit box, so to say, pull out what they need, and start using it.

Yet there are many Christians today who are wasting away. And if they are not careful, they will die in a condition of spiritual, physical, mental, or emotional poverty. But it isn’t God’s fault if they live and die in that condition. It’s their own fault, because they didn’t use what He had already made available to them through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the case of the lady who starved to death, no one had anything to do with her dying in that condition but herself. And just like her, if people today don’t enjoy the new life that Christ Jesus provides, it’s not anyone’s fault but their own.

When you received new life in Christ, you were given a new position in Him. You were made a new creature, a child of God, and a joint-heir with Jesus Himself (2 Corinthians 5:17, 1st John 5:1, Romans 8:17)! You need to learn to live in this new position and to receive all the benefits that go along with it.

Unfortunately, many Christians don’t live at the level that they should, and many times it’s because of guilt. They may realize that God in Christ has forgiven them for mistakes they made, but they have a hard time forgiving themselves. So they carry guilt around, not because God is laying it on them, but because they are laying it on themselves.

Our new position in life through Christ Jesus doesn’t include any guilt. Romans 8:1 says, “There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit.” Remember, once you are born again, you have a new life and new position in Christ. All things have become new-the old things have past away and don’t exist anymore.

Sometimes, you may fight the memories of the past in your mind. The devil may keep bringing up the past –what you have done, how bad you have been, or how much you have messed up. Just stand on God’s word and tell the devil, “I am in Christ and I have a new position in Him; therefore, I have no condemnation or guilt.

It’s not your spirit bringing those condemning thoughts, because your spirit is pure and free. And it certainly isn’t God condemning you. It’s just the enemy sitting on your shoulder, so to speak whispering in your ear, and reminding you of past mistakes. But if you will renew your mind with the word of God, you will get rid of any guilt or feelings of condemnation (Romans 12:2)

Let’s live this new life in Christ knowing that no outside force can separate us from God or keep us from receiving God’s best (Romans 8:35-39). The only thing that can keep us free from receiving God’s best is the person who stands in our own shoes. But once we have brought ourselves under control and are being led by the Holy Spirit, then there isn’t anything that can keep us from living a victorious life in Christ. HALELLUJAH

We care about you.
