A Higher Life In Christ
And this is the record, that God hath given to us
eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath
the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of
God hath not life (1 John 5:11-12).
There’s a higher life in Christ; a life that’s
higher and greater than the ordinary human
life, sickness, disease, failure, and death. That’s the
life we’ve received in Christ. In John 10:10 (AMPC),
Jesus said, “The thief comes only in order to steal
and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and
enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till
it overflows).”
God’s purpose is for you to walk in the supernatural
every day. That’s the Christian life; it’s walking in the
glory of God; reigning and exercising dominion over
circumstances: “For if by one man’s offence death
reigned by one; much more they which receive
abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness
shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ)” (Romans 5:17).
This is God’s dream for His children.
The reason many live as ordinary men, instead of
living the transcendent life in Christ is their ignorance
of the Word: “They know not, neither will they
understand; they walk on in darkness…” (Psalm 82:5).
Imagine an eagle that grows up amongst chickens, and
never learned to fly. It’ll live the life of chickens, yet it’s
an eagle, with powerful wings to fly.
That’s the way some Christians are; they don’t
know they have power over sickness, power over
crises, power over the devil, and circumstances of life.
Therefore, they live as victims. The Bible says you’re
seated together with Christ far above all principalities
and power (Ephesians 1:21 and Ephesians 2:6).
Satan isn’t a factor. You’re superior to him and his
demons.
Now that you’re born again, you’re born into
a life of glory and excellence. Become conscious of
who you are in Christ. It’s not possible for you to fail
or be defeated in life, for the Greater One lives in you:
“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome
them: because greater is he that is in you, than he
that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). This is the higher
life in Christ.
Prayer
My life is replete with the goodness of God, and the
manifestations of the glories of the Kingdom. I’m alive to God—
spirit, soul, and body. Therefore, sickness and disease have no
place in my body, because the Spirit of God lives in me, and
He rids my system of everything inconsistent with the divine life,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
