Topic: We Are Partakers Of Divine Nature [2nd August 2018 Daily Devotional]
“Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” 2 Peter 1:4 (KJV)
We are called unto glory not shame. You will not see shame. You will not see reproach. Glory!That’s what we are called into. Once you are saved you are already in Christ. How can Jesus be in you and you in Him, and you see shame? Jesus Christ is not a shame giver but a glory giver.
Our scripture today says we have escaped shame and corruption in this world. When you begin to operate in the promises and assurance of God, you will be walking on earth as a divinity; because you are complete in Him. In Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. That’s where we are. The bible says as you have thereby received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him rooted and built up in him (Colossians 2:6). The Scripture went further to say in verse 9-10 that in Him dwells all the fullness of God bodily and ye are complete in Him which is the head of all principalities. If in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead and you are in Him, it means you lack nothing!
Being in Christ is not a religious ritual. Something took place in the realm of the spirit that’s why Paul said henceforth know we no man after the flesh. You became like Him and you moved into another level, the limitless level. You moved into a dimension where everything works. In heaven, there is no shortage. That is why when you got saved the bible says you were quickened and raised up to function from heaven where there is no lack, no defeat, and no failure. Today, I release grace to tap into heavenly revelation; like it came upon Paul. I release grace to dissolve doubts and to provide a solution for complex situations. I release grace for creativity. I release grace for completion and for insight. Receive it now in Jesus name.
