REDEEMED TO LIVE THE HIGHER LIFE (4)


“Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow” – 1Peter 1:10-11


LIGHT FOR NOW: As soon as any man receives Christ, he has the power to live the better life.


The Bible says in 1 John 5:11-12 “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life”. Although he or she may be walking or talking, he or she is lifeless without receiving salvation.

Any man who hasn’t received Christ is just living an ordinary life, this life is called “sukay” in Greek and such life ends here, it doesn’t go beyond the physical earth or world which we live in. Once you receive Christ, you have life, and there is an impartation of eternal life in your spirit. This is called the Zoe of God (the God kind of life). This is the life a lot of people are oblivious of. The exact same life Jesus spoke about when He said in John 10:10 “I have come that may have life and that they may have it more abundantly”. Glory!


Eternal life is the better life every believer is entitled to once he acknowledges and comes to the consciousness of his reality and personality in Christ Jesus. John 1:12-13 says “But as many as received him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in his name. Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man but of God”. As soon as any man receives Christ, he has the power to live a better life. Being a son of God comes with full sonship rights, privileges, and benefits; so to live in this reality, one must sit under the right teachings. Glory!


INSTRUCTION: Enjoy all the privileges you have in Christ.

CONFESSION: Father, I thank you for the victorious life I have in you. I believe that i am an embodiment of the Zoe of God, so I rule and reign in Christ, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.


QUOTE: An ordinary life is a life without Christ.
