Topic: Partakers Of [Monday, 6th March 2017]
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
We were not only saved, we were brought into oneness with the Father. Jesus is the first born of the Father (John 3:16), and this indeed, not only made Jesus equal with God (John 5:18), He is also one with the Father (John 10:30). Jesus even went further to say that if we see Him we have already seen the Father (John 14:9). We, like Jesus are born of God (John 1:13), which makes us one with the Father, and are a perfect representation of the Father, that is, when the world see us, they have seen God the Father. Yeah! You read that right. When the world see us, they have seen God the Father.
We have been called into fellowship, that is, a joint participation with Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 1:9), and not just only Jesus Christ, but with the Father and the Holy Spirit (1 John 1:3, 2 Corinthians 13:14). We are joint participant with the Father and Son and Holy Spirit of what? Of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). We are partakers of the very essence of the Godhead; what makes God God. We are sharing with God His very essence. We have to wrap our head around this. Because some folks just think their lives to be very ordinary. No, you are not ordinary. You are a partaker of the divine life.
This was what God intended from the beginning, and through Jesus, He made it manifest. 2 Timothy 1:10 says – “but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality…” Life here is translated Zoe in Greek, which means the life of God. And it is this divine life – nature – that you partake of. This life makes you indestructible, undefeated and immortal; you cannot die. No aspect of your life can experience death. Even physically, you can’t die, you are only translated to the real world where you will be with God physically forever. You are a partaker of the divine nature that is in God.
Keep winning daily.
Prayer:
Dear Father, thank You for making me a partaker of the very essence of Your life. Thank You for bringing me into the place of immortality and life, where I experience Your divine life flowing through me always. And this life is made evident in every area of my life, where I remain undefeated and keep winning always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
