For some reasons have you ever been asked why you are not exhibiting certain common traits in your family?
It’s fascinating to know that we have so much in common with our earthly parents. Science says that our physical appearance is determined by a genetic combination of both parents. No wonder we model some of the traits we see in them. Frequently, we unconsciously express their kind of life because we are of them.
This inherent nature and life that we inherited from our parents can be likened to the kind of life we have in God through Jesus Christ.
If you are born of God, you have a new life and a new nature. It’s called the life and nature of God. It’s thus possible for you to express His will, nature, life and divine attributes to your world.
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. (John 1:12-13)
In the same way, you are uniquely created in Christ Jesus to express His kind of life. His divine intent may not have been effective in our lives. We may have failed to declare, establish, and invite other men to partake in His divine nature also. And it is as though your life is in direct contrast with the new nature you have in Christ.
as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (2 Peter 1:3-4)
The true victory in this Christan walk is living an expressed life, not a suppressed one. An expressed life shows forth what has already been obtained in Christ Jesus.
Effective parents will model the trait they want to see in their children. Christ is your model; the sum of all spiritual things. He wants His kind of life to find an expression in and through you. He wants His attributes to be dominant in your life.
He wants you to express His righteousness and holiness in this perverse world.
Bro, God wants to show the world His goodness, grace, wisdom, leadership, splendour and excellence through you.
Make it your life’s dream that through the Holy Spirit, everywhere you are, you will manifest Christ, you will express His kind of life. That you will make Him proud, laugh and smile.
The life of God will be expressed through you in Jesus’ name.
Express God everywhere! You are His extension and expression to your world.
