Old Things Are Passed Away
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation:
old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new
(2 Corinthians 5:17).
When God looks at you, He sees that whatever
might have been wrong in your life before
you were born again is now passed away. You may
not “feel” or think so, but that doesn’t negate His
truth. Besides, that’s the reason He told you, because
you couldn’t know any other way, except through the
Word. So now, you’re to act on His Word.
If it’s true that old things are passed away, then it
means you can’t have “inherited curses” or an inherited
sickness or disease. There couldn’t be such a thing
as a generational curse, because you’re a brand new
species—one that never existed before. What if you
were born with leukaemia or a heart condition?
Well, old things are passed away, and all things
are now new. The eighteenth verse explains that all the
new things are of God. Leukaemia isn’t of God! Heart
condition isn’t of God! Therefore, you say, “I’m a new
creation in Christ Jesus; I have a brand new life, free of
sickness and disease.” You may still feel the symptoms
in your body, but God says it’s passed away; so you
keep affirming the Word. Keep declaring, “My body
has become new. Christ lives in me now; He’s given
me a new life that can’t be infected by sickness, disease
and infirmities.”
The new creation is the new superman in Christ.
You’ve been called to a life of glory. You’ve been
separated from defeat, failure, poverty and a life of
uncertainties into a life of victory, success, prosperity,
hope and assurance. Meditate on this truth today:
you’re of a special breed. You belong in a new class
of beings—the new creation—infused with life and
immortality; impregnable to infections, superior to
Satan and the debilitating elements and rudiments of
this world. Hallelujah!
Confession
I thank you blessed Father, for giving me a brand new life in Christ.
Everything about my life is infused with divinity and
speaks of your glory. Eternal life, love, health, peace, joy,
righteousness, prosperity; you’ve made all mine! Thank you for this
extraordinary life of glory and excellence that I have in Christ,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
