We are his "manner of men"
....What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?(mark:4:41).
The lord Jesus,when He walked the earth, was a marvel; a master over circumstances. One day,the disciples, in awe of Him,asked the question we read in our theme verse. This was after he hushed a billowing tempest to sleep.
On another occasion,the disciples has sailed far out at sea when they suddenly saw a figure walking towards them on the water;it was Jesus.Again, they wondered," What manner of man is this that defies nature?" Think about His ascension to heaven! He simply levitated and went through clouds into heaven.
It pays to know who Jesus is. Until you know Him,you can't have true faith in Him, and you wouldn't know yourself. Here's something most extraordinary: anyone who believes in Jesus receives the same life that He has. John 1:12-13 says,
"But as many as received him,to them he gave power to become the sons of God...which were born,not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,nor of the will of man ,but of God".
Notice that the latter part says you are born of God,meaning that you are born of the same word that became Jesus. 1peter 1:23 says," Being born again,not if corruptible seed,but of incorruptible, by the word of God,which liveth and abideth for ever."
James 1:18 says, "Of his own will he begat us with the word of truth..."
We are the same manner of men as Jesus, because we re offsprings of the word.No wonder john said, "...as he is,so are we in this world" (1 john 4:17). All divinity was tabernacled in Jesus; He was God alive- walking and talking in a man's body. That same fullness of divinity dwells in you today. Like Him,you are the living ,moving house of the living God. Hallelujah!
DO YOU KNOW YOU CAN SPEAK AND CREATE WHAT YOU WANT?
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by word of God,so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear(Hebrew 11:3)
What we just read in our opening verse reveals your limitless power and glory in Christ Jesus; what you can do with the word (rhema) of God in your mouth. Recall that in the Book of Genesis,the Bible says the earth was a chaotic mass. But after the Holy spirit incubated upon it,God gave the Word,and everything He spoke leapt into being. This is the same ability He has given us: the ability to speak whatever we want into existence.
An important key to this is meditation. Just as the holy spirit brooded (hovered,fluttered) upon the earth's chaotic mass,when there's a situation you want to change,take out time to meditate on God's word .During the meditation, there will arise within you inspired words that will cause the changes that you desire.
Hosea 14:2 says, "Take with you words....";what do you want in your life? The bible says without the word was not anything made that was made! So what do you want to " make"? Don't cry about the situation: don't bother over the pain! The question is, what do you want to see? What do you want to create out of that precarious situation? The bible says God commanded light to shine out of darkness. Don't focus on the problem: focus on what you want and speak it forth.
Don't say, "I have cancer" or " I have diabetes"; its not about what "you have"; its what you want in place of that cancer or diabetes. God had darkness at the beginning, but He spoke light into being. You are created in His image and in his likeness, with his ability in your spirit, and His word in your mouth. Speak and create what you want. Hallelujah!
A SHORT PRAYER TO SAY.
I take advantage of the creative power of God in my words to frame my glorious life and environment in line with Gods perfect will for me. As I speak forth words of blessings concerning my lie,health, finances,loved ones and ministry,the Holy spirit incubates on them and become real. I walk in blessings and ever- increasing glory today, in Jesus name.Amen
Stay blessed.
