A Daily Devotional by Bishop David

You are Deities II

8 November

 

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. Romans 8:19

 

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Romans 8:18-21 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

 

 

MORE LESSON Obadiah 1:21 21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord's.

 

 

The coming of Christ brought believers the advantage of God indwelling man so that he can manifest these attributes. The believer is the stepped-down version of God. That is, using an electrical transmission line as an example, God is the source of power. However, the earth cannot host that level of power just as the electric power generated does not reach our homes in the same magnitude it is generated. It is therefore, passed through a transformer that steps down the power to the degree that it can be useful to us. In the same way, Christ in man is like the stepped-down version of God to help human beings relate with Him.

 

When God appeared to the Israelites in His glory, they were terrified and asked Moses to hear God and tell them all that God said. Similarly, if God had to come down to earth in His glory to save man, human beings would not have been able to host Him. So, He reduced Himself and was born as a man so that men would relate with Him. Hence, when Jesus died and rose again, He gave us the Holy Spirit, so God is now dwelling in man. Believers are deities because they carry God and hence, should exhibit the attributes of God.

 

God wants you to become omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscience, in order to establish His purposes on earth. Therefore, don't let the devil talk you into that fact that these are the attributes of only God because you are  also a god on earth. This is the same deception that Satan sold to Eve in the garden and she fell cheaply for it. Eve was already everything Satan told her she would become. She didn't need to eat the fruit to become because she was already like God and a god on earth.

 

The chaos in the world today needs gods to arise and do as occasion demands. See the instruction in Psalm 82:3-4: Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. God will not tell you to do what He has not empowered you to do. The instruction in today's text is from God speaking to gods. So, if you are not a god, then He is not referring to you because it only takes the authority of God and gods to do such things in the earth. However, the whole world is in confusion today because believers are not aware that they are deities (gods). They are falling for, the same old trick Eve fell for and as a result, they have not yet taken their position to legislate on behalf of the Almighty God. You are gods on earth, so wipe your tears, realize who you are in Christ and do on earth what God is doing in heaven. There is perfect peace, wholeness, righteousness etc. in heaven and you should replicate same here on earth.
