Morning Devotional For Sunday 22nd July - Edoman - 07-22-2018
RHAPSODY OF REALITIES
SUNDAY, 22ND JULY.
YOUR NEW LIFE STARTED WITH THE RESURRECTION
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).
The new creation didn’t come from the cross, but from the resurrection of Jesus Christ; we’re the fruits of His resurrection. When Jesus died, you died with Him. When He was buried, you were buried with Him. When He resurrected, you also arose with Him as a new man, a new species.
Romans 6:4 says, “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” Your new life started with the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The old life has been supplanted by this new life, the divine life.
Understand that there’s no connection between the new creation and your past. In fact, the so-called past doesn’t exist. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Quit judging or appraising yourself on the basis of your past. Your past was nailed to the cross.
In Romans 7:6, the Apostle Paul, stressing our disconnection from the past and old nature, admonished that we serve God in the newness of spirit: “But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.” He also said in Colossians 3:10, “…put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him.”
Today, what counts with God is that you’re born again and are a new creature in Christ Jesus (Galatians 6:15). You’re now in His class of being; an associate of the God-kind; a partaker of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). You’ve been made alive in Christ. All these are as a result of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Blessed be God! I have the incorruptible life of Christ in my spirit. I’m an associate of the God-kind, reigning in life by grace through righteousness. I walk in the reality of the new life of righteousness, which I’ve received in Christ. I’m more than a conqueror; I live in dominion over Satan and the world! Hallelujah!

Isaiah 43:18 - 19 “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.
James 1:18 Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
Luke 20:35 But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;

#AFFIRMATIONTRAIN
22ND JULY.
I affirm that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life! I walk in victory, health, favour and I am marvelously helped of the Lord. I’ve been crucified with Christ, nevertheless, I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me! I am the Workmanship of God in Christ Jesus; sin, death, sickness, and disease have no power over me.
My life belongs to Jesus Christ; therefore, I am not moved by circumstances. I know that come what may, I will forever be victorious. Christ in me is my protection! Even as I walk the path of life, none of my steps shall slide, and no weapon formed against me shall prosper.
I fear nothing, and no one because the Lord is my shield and buckler. I dwell in safety, for in Christ I live, and move, and have my being. Hallelujah! I am guided by the Word in all my dealings to make the right, and wise decisions, and to live right, to the glory of the Father. I am bold and courageous; I take giant strides daily on the basis of the Word! The Word is alive in me, by my faith in the word, I see the invisible and do the impossible. In all that I do, I am heaping up success upon success, for the Word in me is a propelling force! Blessed be God!
