Ephesians 2:4-5 (NET)But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us, even though we were dead in transgressions, made us alive together with Christ – by grace you are saved!
When Tade was a little boy, he used to attend church service with his parents, but he never really accepted the Lord Jesus.
After his mother passed on many years later, he became bothered because he knew that her spiritual life acted as a covering over them. He couldn’t describe it but he knew that she was spiritually alive and he was not.
After retirement, because he was now spending more time at home, he got to hear the gospel from some youths from a nearby church who were on house to house evangelism. Something one of them said got to him and remained in his heart for months – – “he that has the Son has life”.
Tade knew that that statement was true. His mother who had recently passed on had the Son and she had life. There was this peace (and joy) about her that indicated something deeper, it was eternal life.
Tade was now ready to accept the Lord Jesus because he too wanted to have life.
Those who are not yet born again are spiritually dead (see Ephesians 2:5). We see from today’s Bible verse that those who believe in Jesus are made alive. This life is eternal life. It has the ability to quicken. That’s why those who believe shall lay their hands on the sick and they shall recover. It is this life that flows through them to quicken the sick.
After you have received eternal life, in order for it to dominate the death of the flesh, you have to walk in the spirit. Those who do not walk in the spirit, who sow to the flesh by walking in the flesh, would reap death. But those who sow to the spirit by walking in the Spirit will reap life eternal. This is the most superior life in existence.
The more you walk in the spirit, the more your life would be able to express the eternal life that you have received as an incorruptible seed in your spirit.
Go into today knowing that as you walk in the spirit, the power of the divine life would manifest in your life and make you a wonder.
Prayer: Ask the Lord for renewed strength to walk in the Spirit and manifest eternal life.
