Today's Focus: Understanding and living CONSCIOUSLY knowing that you are now BORN of GOD with the POWER to OVERCOME and SUCCEED in Christ in this World!
Many genuine Christians are not aware or do not have an understanding of what it means for them to be BORN of GOD in Christ in this World. True!
The Bible reveals to us thus:
But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them gave He POWER to become the SONS of GOD, even to them that BELIEVE on His name: which were BORN, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of GOD. (John 1:12,13).
The Bible in the above scriptural reference reveals to us that we humans in this World can be:
1. Born of BLOOD
2. Born of the will of the FLESH.
3. Born of the will of MAN.
4. Born of GOD.
In this write up I will be focusing on us Christians being BORN of GOD after we might have been born of human blood and human will of the flesh (by lust out marriage) or human will of man (by desire in marriage) naturally.
Now, know and note that EVERY genuine Christians are supernaturally BORN of GOD in Christ in this World. True!
What does this means?
According to the above scriptural reference, this means that EACH genuine Christian's salvation (BORN AGAIN) experience that makes him or her a Child of God is:
1. Not by human BLOOD.
That is, like in the case of Jesus Christ who was not born by the meeting of a man and a woman. Hmm!
That is why the Bible reveals to us that as HE is, so are WE in this World. True! (1 John 4:17).
2. Not by the will of the FLESH.
That is, not by the lust of a man and a woman outside marriage or by the fallen state of their human body.
3. Not by the will of MAN.
That is, not by the desire of a married man and woman to have a child. True!
But, supernaturally BORN:
1. By the BLOOD of Jesus Christ.
2. By the Will of the SPIRIT.
That is, by the love of God.
3. By the Will of GOD.
That is, by the purpose of God.
Now, know and note that only those BORN of GOD in this World:
1. Have the POWER to believe that Jesus is the CHRIST (Saviour). (1 John 5:1).
That is, those who can humbly and convincingly recognize JESUS as the Saviour, which God the Father has sent to save or reconcile humanity back to Himself in this World. True! (2 Corinthians 5:17-21).
2. Have the POWER to love God and others in this World. True! (1 John 4).
That is, those who can forgive and give to others unconditionally in this World. True!
3. Have the POWER not to yield to self and sin in this World. True! (1 John 3:1-10; James 1:12-15; 1 John 5:18-21).
That is, those who can resist and overcome lust and sin (ways and manners of the World) in this World. True! (Romans 8:1-13; James 1:12-15).
4. Have POWER to become the Sons of God in Christ this World. True! (John 1:12,13).
That is, those who can be taught, guided, disciplined, helped, equipped, empowered and led by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within them to enjoy divine GRACE (support and supply of the Holy Spirit) to them in Christ in this World. True! (Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18; Philippians 1:19; Philippians 4:13,19).
5. Have the POWER to overcome the World. True! (1 John 5:4,5).
That is, those who can resist and overcome Satan, demons, sinners, sickness, poverty, failure, tradition of men, principles, structures, systems and strategies of the World, etc in this World to become who God wants them to be or achieve in in Christ in this World. Halleluyah! (1 Peter 5:8-10; James 4:6-10).
Therefore, know that there is a divine PRESENCE and POWER by the Holy Spirit of Christ (the Kingdom of God) that within you to equip, empower and enable you OVERCOME all oppositions and obstacles that will come against you on your way, and SUCCEED as you journey as a genuine Child of God in Christ from Earth to Heaven in this World . True!
The Bible reveals to us thus:
Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the POWER that works IN us. (Ephesians 3:20; 1 John 2:27).
Good to know and note is that you are personally responsible to RELEASE your divinely given inner POWER as a genuine Child of God, who is BORN of GOD in Christ in this World:
1. By Thinking or meditating the revealed Word of God in Christ by the Holy Spirit to you in FAITH par your situation at hand. (1 John 2:27).
2. By confessing or praying the inspired Word of God in Christ by the Holy Spirit to you in FAITH par your situation at hand. (2 Corinthians 4:13).
3. By living out the instructed Word of God (vis-à-vis the instructed Ways and Will of God) in Christ by the Holy Spirit to you in FAITH par your situation at hand. (Romans 1:14; Galatians 5:18).
The Bible reveals to us thus:
This book of the law shall not depart out of your MOUTH; but thou shalt MEDITATE therein day and night, that thou may observe to DO according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make your WAY prosperous, and then you shall have GOOD SUCCESS. (Joshua 1:8; James 1:22-25).
Therefore, the Bible reveals to us thus:
But as it is written, EYE has not seen, nor EAR heard, neither have entered into the HEART of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him. But God has REVEALED them unto us by His SPIRIT: for the Spirit searches ALL things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knows no man, but the SPIRIT of GOD. Now we have RECEIVED, not the spirit of the world, but the SPIRIT which is of GOD; that we might KNOW the things that are freely GIVEN to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; COMPARING spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual JUDGES all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the MIND of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).
By the KINGDOM of GOD (the presence and POWER of the Holy Spirit) that is within you by you been BORN of GOD or you being a Child of God in Christ in this World, you can OVERCOME anybody, anything and anyway of your enemies anywhere as well as:
1. You can now also KNOW the deep things of God in Christ concerning you and other external situations with the Holy Spirit of Christ that is now within you. True! (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).
2. You can now also KNOW the things that are freely given to you by God in Christ with the Holy Spirit of Christ that is now within you in this World. True! (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).
3. You can now also DISCERN and COMPARE spiritual things to spiritual things with the Holy Spirit of Christ that is now within you in this World. True! (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).
4. You can now also JUDGE all things with the MIND of Christ of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is now within you in this World.True! (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).
5. You can now also can be GUIDED and TAUGHT by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is now within you in this World. True! (John 16:13-15; 1 John 2:27).

Always keep in mind that YOU are an OVERCOMER you are more than CONQUEROR in Christ in this World, no matter what. Yes, you are! (Romans 8; 2 Corinthians 3:17; Galatians 5:1).
The Bible reveals to us that God has designed us in such a way that as we THINK in this World, so we are or become in this World. True! (Proverbs 23:7; Philippians 4:8,9).
You can never SINK to failure and fall on Earth, when you build every area of your life on Christ (the Word - Solid Rock of God) in this World. True! (Matthew 7:24-27; 1 Corinthians 3:6-15).
Today's Focus from Scripture:
For whatsoever is BORN of GOD overcomes the World: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMES the World, even our FAITH. Who is he that overcomes the World, but he that BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God? (1 John 5:4,5; Hebrews 11).
Take note, take heed!
