A Heavenly Pantheon
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and
precious promises: that by these ye might be
partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the
corruption that is in the world through lust (2 Peter 1:4).
The Apostle Peter in our theme verse tells
us we’re partakers of the divine nature. The
Greek term is “theias-phuseos,” which really means
“God-kind.” Being born again, you’ve been brought
into fellowship or oneness with the God-kind; it’s a
heavenly pantheon.
It reminds of something in the Greek mythology.
The Greek pantheon referred to a collection of all
their gods headed by Zeus, the chief god. Our theme
scripture shows a greater pantheon headed by Jesus,
and we’re in that league, meaning that we’re in a
fraternity of divinity; a communion of the God-kind.
So, we have a language, an esoteric communication,
different from the one the world understands. No
wonder the Bible says we speak wisdom among them
that are perfect (1 Corinthians 2:6).
This is so powerful! Meditate on this and it’ll lift
your vision. Suddenly, you’d realize that indeed, you
own this world. You’re more than a conqueror. All
things are subject to you, because you’re an associate
of the God-kind. This is Christianity: that God would
bring man into union with Himself! You’ve been born
into God’s class. This is God’s dream for you, not when
you get to heaven, but in the now! It’s something He
already made possible and available in Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:9 says, “God is faithful, by whom
ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus
Christ our Lord.” This is what the Gospel of Jesus Christ
has made us. You’ve been brought into the unity of
spirits with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; it’s
a fraternity of the God-kind!
Confession
I belong in the fraternity of the God-kind, having been born into God’s class,
with His divine life in my spirit. I’m indestructible,
impregnable, and a l w a y s victorious.
I’ve been translated from the ordinary realm of mankind to
the supernatural class of the God-kind. Hallelujah!
