RHAPSODY OF REALITIES
THURSDAY 8TH OCTOBER.
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 had 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 the clouds into heaven.
It pays to know who Jesus really 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 gave he 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’re born of God, meaning that you’re born of the same Word that became Jesus. 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” James 1:18 says, “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth….”
We’re 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 of 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’re the living, moving house of the living God. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
I’m the temple of the living God, His mobile headquarters in the earth today. In Him I live, and move, and have my being. The greater One lives in me; I’m filled with His fullness, and dispense the verities of the Kingdom in every place. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
Acts 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
2 Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

#AFFIRMATIONTRAIN
I affirm that my life is garnished by the Spirit of God! I’m the workmanship of God in Christ Jesus; created unto good works.
I’ll do good works on the earth because I am fashioned unto good works! I’ve passed from death to life; sin and all its rudiments have no power over me.
I’ve received an anointing from the Holy one and that anointing opens my understanding to all things. I am a student of the Word; I am taught by the Spirit of the Lord to look beyond these present moments and connect everything I do here on earth to eternity.
My choices and decisions concerning my family, job, and everything else about my life are founded on the Word. I am full of God’s might; I’m led and guided by the Spirit always!
I function by His power and glory today, full of the Spirit in wisdom, having a deep spiritual understanding of all things!
I am powered by the Holy Ghost and on a perpetual victory parade, excelling and making progress consistently!
I receiveunparalleled advantages, increased grace, unprecedented favour, and prosperity, in everything I set my heart to do. Halleluiah! The power of the Holy Spirit is alive and active in me!
I’m confident of this very thing, that He who had begun a good work in me is able to perform it until the day of the Lord. Even now, I am strengthened with might by the Holy Ghost in my inner man!
I can do all things through Christ who energizes and infuses me with miracle-working ability! Glory to God. Hallelujah!
God bless you
