“Therefore if any man
be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all
things are become new” 2 Corinthians 5:17
LIGHT FOR THE NOW: At new birth, you receive a new life.
The Lord Jesus in his earthly walk led an exemplary life. Not
only was He a phenomenal intrusion into the sense realm, He was extra ordinary
in all facets. He was never in want; He had no consciousness of need; He was
always in charge of situations and circumstances. He used words like no one
ever did. As believers in Christ, there isn’t a more perfect example for us to
emulate than Christ Jesus. He exercised absolute mastery over circumstances; He
was never flustered or ruffled by anything. Every word He spoke came to pass.
Once, He was in a boat with His disciples and they heard Him talk to the
boisterous winds and waves. Prior to that time, they heard Him talk to the tree
and the tree withered from the roots. He talked to blind eyes, and to lame
legs, they all heard and obeyed Him. No wonder the people asked in
bewilderment, “What manner of man is this?”
Jesus is head of the new creation. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says if
any man be in Christ, he is a new creation. A man in Christ is a new kind of
man. He is like Jesus. As believers in Christ, we are of the same stock with
Jesus. 1 John 4:17 says, “…as he is, so
are we in this world.” This is the reason we can emulate Him. Our key
scripture tells us to follow His steps. In order words, follow His examples,
because as He is, so are we. He said in Mark 11:23, “You shall have what you say”. Practice this even now. Command any
boisterous wind and wave that may be billowing against your finances, your job,
your academics, your marriage, your family, your ministry etc to cease. Speak
to that diabetes or any ailment in your body to be healed. Tell that cancerous
growth to dematerialize. Like Jesus, you can talk to anything and it will obey
you. That’s the example Jesus left us with, His very steps that we have to
follow. It is only through this that we can truly take over in all facets of
our lives.
INSTRUCTION:Be imitators of God as well beloved
children imitate their father.
PRAYER:Father, I take charge of situations
and circumstances, and I reign over Satan and the elements of this world, in
Jesus name.
QUOTE: You shall have what you say!
