UNDERSTANDING YOUR DIVINE NATURE
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises:
that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature… (2 Peter 1:4).
Did you know that as a Christian, you’re actually
born of God? The Bible says in 1 John 4:4, “Ye
are of God, little children…”; meaning that your origin
is in God; you’re born of Him; you came from Him. No
wonder John exclaimed, “For whatsoever is born of
God overcometh the world…” (1 John 5:4).
The Christian isn’t an ordinary person; he’s a
partaker of the divine nature. I would to God that every
Christian understood what that means! It means you’re
in God’s class of being; you belong to a heavenly
pantheon; you’re an associate of the God-kind. So,
when we say we’re more than conquerors, this is what
it’s about; we’re not merely quoting scriptures. As He
(Jesus) is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17); meaning
that as He’s divine, so are we divine.
He said in John 5:26, “For as the Father hath life
in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in
himself.” Then 1 John 5:11-12 says, “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….” We
have the same life with Him; it’s the divine life; it’s what
makes us absolutely indestructible.
When we say a Christian ought not to be sick, it’s
premised on this reality. Divine health is your nature,
not a hope or promise from God, because you’re born
of God’s incorruptible seed—His Word (1 Peter 1:23).
Therefore, the life in you can’t be corrupted by sickness,
disease or death. Refuse to accept that it’s “normal” or
okay for a Christian to be sick; it’s not.
In Mark 16:17-18, the Lord Jesus, referring to the
Christian, said, “…if they drink any deadly thing, it
shall not hurt them….” You’re not among those that
can be “infected” by anything. Jesus said so, and if He
did, then it’s an absolute reality. No infection should
thrive in your body.
Meditate on this truth until it gains the ascendancy
in your spirit and becomes your experience. Refuse to
accommodate anything that’s inconsistent with your
divine nature.
Prayer
Blessed Father, I thank you for giving me a life of
glory, dominion and excellence; I walk in the reality of
this truth. You’ve made me impregnable to sickness,
disease, poverty, and anything that hurts. Therefore, I
walk conscious of my divine nature today and always,
reigning over Satan and his cohorts of hell, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.
