Life in abundance 11
Memorise: whosoever abideth in him
sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither know him. 1 John 3:6
Truly, the genuineness of God’s concern and His interest
in the well being of man is established in the giving of His Son to die,
thereby making provision for their redemption. According to the word of God,
such individuals that therefore surrender their lives to Jesus Christ are now
children of God.
“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
if believers in Christ and children of God as the
Bible clearly reveals, then it means that they possess some measure of
divinity, a divine DNA. It implies further that divine abilities are at their
disposal, just as the passage above indicates that these people are given power
to become sons. On this note, it is therefore expected that such people would
live to take full advantage of this life in accordance with the divine purpose.
We should then ask ourselves this question: “Is it every child of God that is
on top of their situation, and are they living life to the fullness of what
Jesus has no offer in John 10:10?” the answer to this question is NO! why is
this so? Definitely the fault is no with God, it can only be with us His
children.
Some of us are not sincere; some want what God has to
offer but at the same time what the sinful world offers. In the first instance,
sin was the undoing of man; it then
follows that if after we have received pardon from Jesus, we still think we are
free to continue in sin, we are talking God for a fool. The Bible says:
“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin,
that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any
longer therein?” Romans 6:1-2
It is required therefore that we live holy lives
otherwise we will short-change ourselves. Living holy implies total obedience
to God and His word.
Action

Earnestly pray for consecration, ask God
for grace to live above the vanities of the world, and to be obedient to Him completely.
