UNVEILING
THE NEW CREATION IN CHRIST JESUS.
The
unveiling of the believer is tied to the revealing if Christ. The new creation believer is created in the
image and likeness of the resurrected Christ, i.e the last Adam. And it is from
this source he/she draws his being, nature or life (Eph. 4:24, 2Peter 1:2-4).
The greatest good we can do for a believer is to help him/her to know who
he/she has become in Christ. The faith that the new creation is required to
live by is activated by these knowledge and understanding (Philemon:6).
Paul’s
greatest prayer for the New Testament churches he founded was for them to have
revelation knowledge and spiritual understanding (Ephes. 1:17-21; Colo. 1:9-11).
This is because the things many Christians are struggling to get have already
been given to us in Christ (Eph. 1:3). We need knowledge to enjoy them.
THINGS TO KNOW
1.
The new creation is blessed in the
heavenly realm with all spiritual blessings.
The new creation has no past, so he cannot suffer any form of curse. So,
every enablement/empowerment he needs spiritually to succeed and become the
best has been given to him in Christ. The blessing of the new creation is not
subject to the law or based on what he does or does not do (Deut. 28:1-2 VS
Ephe.1:3). The blessing upon the new creation is superior or above any curse on
the earth. The new creation is blessed above all people. The faith of Christ is
what the new creation needs to convert the blessings in the spiritual realm
into physical reality. All that the new creation needs to make things happen is
to believe in Jesus Christ. John6:28-29; and to speak what the word says
2Corint.4:13. Whatever is too big for your mouth (to speak) will be too big for
your hand to handle.
2.
The new creation has the mind of
Christ (1Cor. 2:6-16)
The believer by the virtue of the Spirit of God at work in his mental
facilities has unlimited mental powers and capabilities. The new creation is
able to gain access to secrets in God’s mind because God’s spirit indwelling us
is able to reveal God’s mind to us in every situation. The Spirit or the power
of Christ working within us is able to bring to pass our desires expressed in
words and conceived in our imaginations (Eph. 3:20). In Gen.11:1-9 we see how
powerful and unstoppable is the imaginative capacity of man even in his fallen
state. The City of Dubai is an Emirate (like a state) in the country of U.A.E;
but unredeemed minds engaging their imaginative ability thought up the idea and
are following through with it. How much more could the new creation believer
capable of doing.
Since the New Creation has the mind of Christ, he is also able to
function under the powerful influence of the spirits of the Lord, wisdom,
knowledge, understanding, counsel etc which empowered JESUS mentally to operate
in superior mental prowess. Isaiah11:1-3. He was able to judge things beyond
the physical eyes and ears.
How can the new creation operate in
this reality? Isaiah55:8-9.
1.
Thinking the thoughts of God
Renew your mind by
meditating on the words of God. You sharpen your mind as you rub it with the
thoughts of God. Seek to know and believe all that you have become in Christ.
2.
Operate or function like God
God functions through faith. God’s
actions are motivated by love.
