Divine Nature

Thought For Today: Being Conscious of your Spiritual Heritage The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together (Romans 8.16-17). If you’re born again, you have an inheritance and it was bequeathed to you by the Monarch of the universe— the one who said “The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts” (Haggai 2:8). All the wealth in this world actually belong to Him: the money, precious stones, minerals, oil and everything that men believe they own all belong to the Lord and you’re His heir. You’re the heir of the sovereign-mega-rich God. He is the fountain of riches. His wealth is limitless, inestimable and unquantifiable. That makes you richer than those on the Forbes’ list! Hallelujah! Your ‘Papa’s’ wealth isn’t subject to the market forces of this world; it isn’t subject to the oil...

Thought For Today: Life through the Spirit. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you (Romans 8:11). The Holy Spirit is the life-giver. With the Holy Spirit living in you, no sickness ought to stay in your body. Every cancer ought to die! Diabetes and HIV will be cleansed from your blood when you meditate on the truth that the Spirit of God, the life-giver Himself lives in you. In the Old Testament, God said to the people, “the life of the flesh is in the blood…” (Leviticus 17:11). All living creatures, including man are sustained by the blood flowing in their bodies. But this is different for the man who is born again and filled with the Holy Spirit! The Holy Spirit gives life to –quickens – your physical body if He lives in you. Even if your body had been paralyzed, the Holy Spirit will give life to your physical body and restore you t...

Thought For Today: Live From Above And he said unto them, ye are from beneath; l am from above: ye are of this world; l am not of this world (John 8:23). When Jesus told the Jews, “You’re from beneath and I’m from above,” He certainly wasn’t referring to His physical origin but His spiritual origin. He is the Word of God that came from heaven (John 1:1; John 6:33). Now, if you’re born again, you’re born, not of corruptible seed but of incorruptible seed, which is the Word of God that lives and abides forever (1 Peter 1:23). This means you’re born of the Word that came from above and you have the same life from above as Jesus. Thus you can as well declare that you’re from above. This consciousness of your divine origin will change your attitude and the way you live. That’s because when you recognize you’re not of this world, you won’t think, talk, or act Iike the world. Imagine that you go to work with this consciousness that you’re from above and someone in the office offends ...

Dad used Bible to justify sex with daughter : An Mpumalanga father, known as the ‘wheelchair rapist’, has been sentenced to life in prison without the option of parole for raping his daughter from the age of 13 and conceiving three children with her.

Thought For Today: Being Conscious that you’re from Above Posted on September 19, 2012 by Christ Embassy Online And he said unto them, ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; l am not of this world (John 8:23). The most sublime and profound communication ever to proceed from anyone came from the lips of Jesus. The Jews in His day couldn’t comprehend the wisdom and audacity with which the Master spoke. That’s because Jesus communicated with a spiritual language while they were men and women of the senses. For example, when He said in the scripture above, “I am from above,” He wasn’t referring to a physical life. He was referring to a spiritual life! Jesus knew that His life didn’t come from Mary, because He was the Word of God made flesh. Conscious of that reality, He could say with boldness that He was not of this world. Now, the Bible says concerning us that as He (Jesus) is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:1 7). If you’re born again, you’re no longer an ...

Thought For Today: Being Conscious That You Are A Blessing Posted on September 16, 2012 by Christ Embassy Online And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing… (Genesis 12:2-3). If you’re born again, you’re more than a blessed man or woman: you’re actually the embodiment of a blessing. The Bible lets us know that the Lord didn’t only bless Abraham but also made him a blessing: “And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing” (Genesis 12:2). However, this didn’t just end with Abraham for the Bible says “…If ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29). To be in Christ means you’re born again, thus all the blessings God endowed to Abraham are now your present-hour possession. This is why you’re a bundle of blessings! If the people of the world knew what a blessing you are as a Christian...

Whites! You must save South Africa! : David Moseley was stunned to discover yesterday that a Daily Maverick columnist had finally solved the race issue plaguing the country.

Thought for Today: Live with a Kingly Consciousness Posted on September 12, 2012 by Christ Embassy Online Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to glory and dominion for ever and ever Amen (Revelation 1:5-6). Once it dawns on your spirit that as a child of God you’re a king and not a helpless, needy pauper, it will completely change the way you live. It reminds me of what the Bible says about David, that it dawned on him that the Lord had established him King over Israel long after he had been made king (2 Samuel 5:12). How come the realization didn’t dawn on him until then? So, it’s got to dawn on you today that God has made you a king. You ought to live everyday with a kingly consciousness. First, as a king, you must get rid of all beggarly prayers; pray as the king that you are—kings don’t beg—they make decrees. That means your prayer-life should be full of worship, praise, intercession ...

Thought for Today: Being Conscious that We are Superior to Satan! Posted on September 11, 2012 by Christ Embassy Online “Behold, I give unto you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you “(Luke 10:19). Satan is a defeated foe! Jesus took a spoil of him (Colossians 2:15); He stripped him of his entire armour and left him with nothing. Thus you can as well refer to satan as “Mr. Nothing!” He is nothing; he’s got nothing and he can do nothing. He’s not a factor; therefore never be afraid of him because you’re superior to him; he doesn’t count. As a new creation, not only has Jesus given you power and authority to cast satan out, He also made you superior to him and all his demons. When we became God’s children by being born again, we became one with God; we became one divine creation with our heavenly Father, having His very life. That life in us makes us the “uninfectable breed!” It makes us superior to s...

Thought for Today: Count Your Blessings! Posted on September 1, 2012 by Christ Embassy Online And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death (Revelation 12:11) As God’s children, we need to learn to count our blessings and testify of the Lord’s goodness in our lives. Testifying of the miracle you received of the Lord is the way to keep that miracle. Learn to testify of the Lord’s goodness always. He’s done so much for us in the previous month for us to be thankful for. Always, the Lord wants you to share your testimony of His goodness with others and your testimony will inspire the faith of somebody else. Moreover, the more you testify of the Lord’s goodness the more He blesses you with even greater miracles. Do you want to keep experiencing miracles in your life? Then testify! We would like you to take advantage of this platform to tell the world how great, kind and loving the Lord has been to you...

Thought for Today: Be Conscious of who you are in Christ! Posted on September 4, 2012 by Christ Embassy Online Jesus saith unto him, have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father… (John 14:9). When Jesus walked the earth, He had the consciousness of a King that distinguished Him from the crowd. He had no consciousness of lack and He always confidently spoke words that amazed the religious people of His day. One day, He said “the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” Jesus knew His words weren’t empty; He was conscious of His divinity and boldly declared it. In John 6:38 He said “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me” What boldness and audacity! Everyone knew Him as the son of Joseph the Carpenter, yet He declared He came down from heaven. Only a man who knew who He really was could speak this way. No wonder He had absolute mastery ove...
