WHY WE ARE SO DIFFERENT: CHILDREN OF THE PROMISE

05/09/2023

"For it is written: “Rejoice, O barren, You who do not bear! Break forth and shout, You who are not in labour! For the desolate has many more children Than she who has a husband.” Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise."

The believer in Christ is a child of promise. This means that we the product of prophecy. How we came to be is not by the corruptible but by the incorruptible. The Bible says of your difference, "having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever." (1 Peter 1:23). What this means is that human beings may give birth to human beings but you, you are born by someone different, hence your life and destiny should be different. John 3:6 says "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."

What this means is that the process by which you live your life should be different. You see man's days, the Bible says, are full of trouble (in Job 14:1). His days are full of trial and error, toils, and effort because of the fall in the Garden of Eden. From the day of God's pronouncement, " “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’: “Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil, you shall eat of it All the days of your life" (Genesis 3:17), toil became a part of human existence. 

But God did create to toil for anything. Rather you have a whole new system by which you ought to live your life and it is saying the promise or prophesying. The Bible says in Romans 10:9-10 "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation." The transportation that God has provided for you to live the life that He designed is your confession. This is why we are so different. We live by prophecy. 

Prophecy is the divine ability put in a believer to tell forth the word of God into his or her existence. This is why you ought not to be stagnant in your life. Rather, you call things into existence as though they already exist (according to Romans 4:17) because they already do, in your spirit. 

Hear me, human beings may beg, borrow or steal to have their needs met but not you. You are the child of divine promise and the process by which you were born into the kingdom of God is the process by which you ought to live. So, it's to time to dive deep into the scripture and search out treasures that have spoken concerning you. Psalms 87:3 says, "Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God! Selah" It is time to begin to speak those glorious things to transport yourself from glory to glory.

Have a blessed day!

Faith-Filled Confession

I am a product of prophecy. I am not of this world. Therefore, I am exempt from toil and strife. As I have believed, I speak because I am of the spirit of faith. I am moving from glory to glory. Hallelujah!!
