THE WONDERS OF NEW CREATION
Memorise: Therefore if any man be in
Christ, he is a new creature: old things passed away; behold, all things are
become new. 2nd Corinthians 5:17
Read John 3:1-5, Bible in one year:
Isaiah 12:14, Acts 4:1-22
The Almighty God is the Chief planner,
the Architect and the Builder per excellence. Before the universe was put
together, God planned it. No man is in this world by accident. He told Jeremiah
that before He formed him, He knew him (Jeremiah 1:4-5). In the beginning, God had
beautiful plans for His creation, but along the line, sin distorted His plans
for the universe and particularly for the human race. But God, being the
Almighty, decided in His infinite mercy to restore His distorted creation. This
is why in Jeremiah 18:1-4, we read an interesting story of a potter and his
clay vessel which got damaged in the process of being worked. The potter made
up his mind to start all over again. I prophesy that God’s original purpose for
your life which the enemies have tempered with shall be restored today in
Jesus’ Name.
Paul the sinner who later became a
saintly apostle of Jesus Christ is one example of a person who experienced the
wonders of new creation. In his testimony in 1st Timothy 1:15, he
wrote that he was the chief if sinners. In 2nd Corinthians 5:17, he
summed up the wonders of new creation saying:
“Therefore
if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away;
behold all things are become new.”
In our scripture reading today, Jesus
Christ told Nicodemus that he must be born again in order to see the kingdom of God . Nicodemus then asked Jesus in John
3:4 that:
“…
How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his
mother’s womb, and be born?”
Jesus replied that it is possible to
become a new creation by water and the spirit of God. All these are mysteries and
pointers to the wonders of new creation. For you to experience theses wonders,
you must surrender your total life to Him who is able to recreate and restore
beautiful plans that have been distorted by the evil one. The Bible in Acts
3:19 says:
“Repent
ye therefore, and be converted that your sins may be blotted out, when the
times of refreshing shall come the presence of the Lord,”
I pray that you will experience the wonders
of new creation in all spheres of your life in Jesus’ Name.
Prayer Point
Father, whatever beautiful plans you
have for my life that the enemies have distorted, please restore in Jesus Name.
