THE NEW WINE – MAKES A NEW CREATION 

By Leave a Comment

THE NEW WINE – MAKES A NEW CREATION: A NEW CREATION MAKES A NEW YOU – NO PAST – TRULY FREE INDEED! 

“Therefore if the Son makes you FREE, you shall be FREE indeed” John 8:36. 

What is it that sets up your day, every morning? Is it the house you live in; is it the car you drive; is it the size of your bank account; is it the empire, business and enterprise you’ve established; is it the career you are in; is it the size of the Church and Ministry you go to or called to Pastor; is it the trophies or precious stones you’ve accumulated in life; and actually, WHAT SETS YOU UP EACH DAY, MY FRIEND? These and many such like, are worth pondering in all matters of doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

For me, what sets me up and my day is the knowing and being assured that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. That I am KNOWN of God, QUALIFIED by God, PREDESTINATED by God, GLORIFIED by God, CALLED by God, JUSTIFIED by God, and that I am in FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance my RELATIONSHIP with Him through my SAVIOUR and LORD, Jesus Christ. That’s truly indescribable, overwhelming and incomprehensible. 

“Therefore, if ANYONE is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD THINGS have PASSED AWAY; behold, ALL THINGS have BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV. 

“Giving thanks to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the POWER OF DARKNESS and CONVEYED (TRANSLATED) us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14 (NKJV) Emphasis Mine. 

The knowing that God LOVES me and that His presence LIVES in me, with me and for me — that makes it all the more PRICELESS. 
That, and many such like, too numerous to note within time and space, are what give me HOPE, FAITH and the needed LOVE to win my day — for me, for all about me, and for others — in doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus’s stead. 
Amen. 

Simply put: the knowing that the NEW CREATION that I have BECOME in God has NO PAST in Christ Jesus anymore. 
And my past, no matter how terrible and unpleasant it was, cannot hold back my today or my future anymore — because of what Christ Jesus has done: to wash it away into the sea of forgetfulness and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness by His precious and redeeming blood. 
Amen. 
[2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Colossians 1:12-14; Ephesians 1:1-12; Romans 8:28-39; 1 Corinthians 1:9; John 14:16-17; 1 Peter 2:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6; Revelation 5:9-12; Galatians 6:14-16]  

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and PASSETH by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his anger for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will TURN again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt CAST ALL THEIR SINS INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA” Micah 7:18-19. 

What true freedom it is, to live assured by the eternal God, every morning and every day. 
The knowing that His steadfast love is new every morning and every day towards you and me is gracious indeed. Do you PERCEIVE the same in your being today and now? 
I hope and PRAY the same for you in Christ Jesus, that you might know what it means to be free indeed. Amen.  
What true freedom it is, to live assured by the eternal God, every morning and every day. 
The knowing that His steadfast love is new every morning and every day towards you and me is gracious indeed. 

Do you PERCEIVE the same in your being today and now? 
I hope and PRAY the same for you in Christ Jesus, that you might know what it means to be free indeed. 
Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Therefore, if ANYONE is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD THINGS have PASSED AWAY; behold, ALL THINGS have BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV. 

“But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 FOR IN CHRIST JESUS NEITHER CIRCUMCISION NOR UNCIRCUMCISION AVAILS ANYTHING, BUT A NEW CREATION” Galatians 6:14-15. 

“Giving thanks to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the POWER OF DARKNESS and CONVEYED (TRANSLATED) us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14 (NKJV) Emphasis Mine. 

“They are NEW EVERY MORNING: great is thy faithfulness” Lamentations 3:23. 

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for evermore” Psalms 16:11. 

“God is faithful, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9. 

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to HIS PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the IMAGE of his Son, that he might be the FIRSTBORN among many BRETHREN. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30. 

“Seeing ye have PURIFIED your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto UNFEIGNED LOVE of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 BEING BORN AGAIN, NOT OF CORRUPTIBLE SEED, BUT OF INCORRUPTIBLE, BY THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH LIVETH AND ABIDETH FOR EVER. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 but the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you” 1 Peter 1:22-25. 

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be BORN AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” John 3:3-5. 

SUMMARY: 
This is a devotional message declaration calling believers to anchor their daily lives not in earthly metrics, but in their identity as a NEW CREATION in Christ. It contrasts what the world sets our day by with what should truly set us up — God’s grace, presence, and eternal work in us. 

KEY POINTS: 

  1. THE CENTRAL DECLARATION: NEW WINE, NEW CREATION, NEW YOU

“THE NEW WINE – MAKES A NEW CREATION: A NEW CREATION MAKES A NEW YOU – NO PAST – TRULY FREE INDEED!” John 8:36 
In Christ, the old has passed away and all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17. Salvation is not a patch but a total transformation. To be free indeed is to live with no bondage to your past. 

  1. THE PROBING QUESTION: WHAT SETS UP YOUR DAY?

Is it your house, car, bank account, business empire, career, church size, ministry title, trophies, or possessions? 
Charge: These and many such like are worth pondering. Do not build your day on things that fade. 
Doing life and living godly in grace requires us to check what we are trusting daily. 

  1. THE ANSWER: IDENTITY IN CHRIST SETS THE DAY

For the writer, what sets up the day is the assurance of being: 
KNOWN by God, QUALIFIED by God, PREDESTINATED by God, CALLED by God, JUSTIFIED by God, GLORIFIED by God Romans 8:28-30. 
And being in FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance RELATIONSHIP through Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord. 
This is described as indescribable, overwhelming and incomprehensible — because it is God’s doing, not man’s. 

Backed by: 

  • Qualified as partakers of the inheritance, delivered and translated into His kingdom Colossians 1:12-14 
  • Born again of incorruptible seed by the Word of God 1 Peter 1:23-25 
  • Called into fellowship of His Son 1 Corinthians 1:9 
  1. THE REALITY: NO PAST, FULL FORGIVENESS, FULL FREEDOM

The NEW CREATION in God has NO PAST in Christ Jesus anymore. 
No matter how terrible the past was, it cannot hold back today or tomorrow — because Christ has washed it away into the sea of forgetfulness and cleansed from all unrighteousness by His redeeming blood Micah 7:18-19. 
“He will CAST ALL THEIR SINS INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA.” 
This produces HOPE, FAITH and LOVE to win the day — for self, for others, and for godly living in grace. 

  1. THE DAILY EXPERIENCE: GOD’S PRESENCE AND STEADFAST LOVE

The knowing that God LOVES me and that His presence LIVES in me, with me and for me — makes life PRICELESS. 
His steadfast love is NEW EVERY MORNING Lamentations 3:23. 
In His presence is FULNESS of joy and pleasures for evermore Psalm 16:11. 
Question: Do you PERCEIVE the same in your being today and now? 
Prayer: That you would know what it means to be FREE INDEED in Christ Jesus. 

  1. CLOSING CHARGE

Therefore, SEEK AND TREASURE THE GRACE THAT IS AVAILABLE TO YOU: it will make and enhance your becoming in Christ Jesus. 
DESPISE NOT your small beginning, for the New Wine is making a New You. 
TILL your land in diligence, walk with hinds’ feet on high places, and let God’s steadfast love set the tone for your morning. 
HEAD UP, SHOULDERS HIGH — you are qualified, called, and commissioned by God. 
From this day, refuse to be defined by your past, your possessions, or your performance. 
Be defined by Christ. Live assured. Live free indeed. Live as the New Creation. 
Amen.

IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS 

By Leave a Comment

IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS: YOU ARE PREDESTINED TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GRACE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

“. . . 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will . . . 11 in whom also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who WORKETH ALL THINGS after the COUNSEL OF HIS OWN WILL: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ . . .” Ephesians 1:1-14. 

You have been PREDESTINATED by God’s own will in Christ Jesus, to succeed in life and grace. For to be BLESSED is to be EMPOWERED purposefully and meaningfully with God’s enabling grace, in order for you to SUCCEED, THRIVE, FLOURISH, ACHIEVE, BECOME, INNOVATE, EXPLORE, CREATE, INITIATE, and such like, in all that concerns LIFE and GODLY LIVING, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

I recall hearing and reading the phrase below years ago. It helped to inspire my scriptural search and thinking around Ecclesiastes 3:11, enabling and assuring my self-discovery and recovery. It is summed up in this wisdom nugget by DR MYLES MUNROE of Blessed Memory: 

“The Creator HID your future where He knew you could not miss it… INSIDE you. Don’t go to your DESTINY… BECOME it.” — DR MYLES MUNROE (BFMI) of Blessed Memory.  

This wisdom concept could be explicitly shared in the Scriptures of which Ecclesiastes 3:11 gives more lights to many as written: 

“He has made EVERYTHING beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the HUMAN HEART [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, EXCEPT God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11/Amplified. 

Stop looking for and pursuing your DESTINY – For your DESTINY is in YOU and you are your DESTINY. You BECOME what you make of yourself. Stop holding others RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for your wellbeing. Rise up, look within and become the you in you that God has MADE wonderfully and reverentially to succeed in life and grace in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

“. . . For You did form my inward parts; You did knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I will confess and praise You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth! Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You when I was being formed in secret [and] intricately and curiously wrought [as if embroidered with various colors] in the depths of the earth [a region of darkness and mystery]. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your BOOK ALL THE DAYS [OF MY LIFE] WERE WRITTEN before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them . . .” Psalms 139:1-18/AMP Classic Edition. 

You have to give meaning to the quest and voice of your inner being. The quest and voice within you could be that of the most sought-after Carpenter, Plumber, Teacher, Educator, Carer, Leader, Administrator, Minister, Medical Professional, Politician, Events Organiser, Baker, Farmer, Painter, Engineer, Technologist, Social Worker, Designer, Decorator, Scientist, Salesperson, and such like — that your Community and your World are craving to have in order to meet their human needs. 

Know this: for such there is an unction within you to function. And though your beginning may be little, your latter end could be the answer to the quest and needs of humanity, when you give it a start. 

Explore these Scriptures meditatively and let the Holy Spirit minister to your inner being for your wellbeing and the good of others, in grace, through your quest and exploring — 1 John 2:20, 27; Job 8:7; Zechariah 4:10. 

Your Family, Community, Nation and World are all waiting for your revealing — the manifestation of the you that is within you. Romans 8:19 

You have been PREDESTINATED to BECOME – Stop running about for SPECIAL DESTINY PRAYERS. You are carrying your destiny within you. Don’t blame others for your irresponsible decision not to look within and explore to become. 

YOU DON’T NEED TO FAKE IT TO BECOME IT. JUST BE WHO YOU ARE MADE TO BE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.  

“The Creator hid your future where He knew you could not miss it . . . INSIDE you. Don’t go to your destiny . . . BECOME it” – DR Myles MUNROE (BFMI) of Blessed Memory. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“He has MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL IN ITS TIME. Also He has put ETERNITY (PURPOSE/DESTINY) in their HEARTS (HUMAN SPIRIT), except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Emphasis Mine). 

“But there is a SPIRIT in man: and the INSPIRATION of the Almighty giveth them understanding” Job 32:8. 

“The Spirit of God has MADE me, 

And the BREATH of the Almighty GIVES me life [which inspires me]” Job 33:4 (Amplified). 

The SPIRIT (conscience) of man is the LAMP of the Lord, SEARCHING and EXAMINING all the INNERMOST parts of his being” Proverbs 20:27 (Amplified). 

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath MADE us ACCEPTED in the beloved . . . 11 in whom also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:3-6, 11-12. 

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30. 

“For all the PROMISES of God IN HIM ARE YEA, and IN HIM AMEN, unto the glory of God by us. 21 Now he which STABLISHETH US with you in Christ, and hath ANOINTED US, is God; 22 who hath also SEALED US, and GIVEN THE EARNEST OF THE SPIRIT IN OUR HEARTS” 2 Corinthians 1:20-22. 

“But as it is written, EYE hath not SEEN, nor EAR HEARD, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.  

SUMMARY: 
This message is about identity, destiny, and purpose rooted in grace. It declares that God has already positioned, empowered, and equipped you in Christ to become all He purposed, and that your destiny is not something you chase externally — it is deposited within you by the Spirit. 

KEY POINTS: 

  1. YOUR IDENTITY: PREDESTINATED, CHOSEN, ANDBLESSEDIN CHRIST 

From Ephesians 1:3-12, you were CHOSEN before the foundation of the world and PREDESTINATED unto adoption by Jesus Christ according to the good pleasure of His will. 
To be BLESSED is to be EMPOWERED with God’s enabling grace to SUCCEED, THRIVE, FLOURISH, ACHIEVE, BECOME, INNOVATE, EXPLORE, CREATE, INITIATE and such like, in all that concerns LIFE and GODLY LIVING. 
Romans 8:28-30 confirms the chain: Foreknown → Predestinated → Called → Justified → Glorified. You are sealed, anointed, and established in Christ 2 Corinthians 1:20-22. 

  1. YOUR DESTINY IS WITHIN YOU: STOP CHASING, START BECOMING

Quoting DR MYLES MUNROE: “The Creator HID your future where He knew you could not miss it… INSIDE you. Don’t go to your DESTINY… BECOME it.” 
Ecclesiastes 3:11 explains this: God has put ETERNITY — a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE in the human heart. 
The call is to stop pursuing destiny as if it is outside you. Your destiny is in you. You BECOME what you make of yourself. Stop blaming others. Rise up and become the you that God MADE wonderfully and reverentially Psalm 139:13-16. 

  1. THE INNER UNCTION: PURPOSE FOR SERVICE AND HUMANITY

The quest and voice within you may be for Carpenter, Teacher, Leader, Medical Professional, Engineer, Social Worker, and such like — vocations your Community and World are craving to meet human needs. 
1 John 2:20,27; Job 8:7; Zechariah 4:10 are given for meditation. 
Know this: there is an unction within you to function. Though your beginning may be small, your latter end can answer the needs of humanity when you give it a start. Job 8:7 
Your Family, Community, Nation and World are waiting for the manifestation of the you that is within you Romans 8:19.  

  1. THE SPIRIT AND THE WORD: SOURCE OF REVELATION AND UNDERSTANDING

God reveals destiny by His Spirit: “But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10. 
Job 32:8, Job 33:4, Proverbs 20:27 affirm that the Spirit of God, the breath of the Almighty, and the lamp of conscience give understanding and search the innermost parts. 
You do not need to “fake it to become it”. JUST BE WHO YOU ARE MADE TO BE IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD. 

  1. THE CHARGE

Stop running about for SPECIAL DESTINY PRAYERS. Stop holding others RESPONSIBLE for your well-being. 
Take responsibility, look within, and walk in what God has already PREPARED Ephesians 1:11, 1 Corinthians 2:9.

IN ONE SENTENCE: 

This is a prophetic exhortation that because you are predestinated, blessed, and empowered in Christ, your destiny and purpose are already planted within you by God. Therefore, cease external striving, yield to the Spirit, give expression to the unction within, and become what God has made you to be — for the glory of God and the blessing of the world.

THE NEW CREATION: TRULY FREE INDEED!

“Therefore if the Son makes you FREE, you shall be FREE indeed” John 8:36.

That I am KNOWN of God, QUALIFIED of God, PREDESTINATED by God, GLORIFIED by God, am CALLED of God, am JUSTIFIED by God, and that I am in FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance my RELATIONSHIP with Him through my SAVIOUR and LORD, Jesus Christ. That’s truly indescribable, overwhelming and incomprehensible. The knowing that God LOVES me and His presence LIVES in me and with me and for me, that makes it more PRICELESS. That and many such like too numerous to note within time and space, is what gives me HOPE, FAITH and the needed LOVE to win my day for me and all about me for others in doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Simply put, the knowing that the NEW CREATION that I have BECOME of God, have NO PAST in Christ Jesus anymore; and my PAST no matter how terrible and unpleasant it was, it can’t hold back my today and future anymore, because of what Christ Jesus has done to wash them away into the sea of forgetfulness and cleansed me from every unrighteousness by His precious and redeeming blood.

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and PASSETH by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his anger for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will TURN again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt CAST ALL THEIR SINS INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA” Micah 7:18-19.

What a true freedom, to live assured from the eternal God, every morning and everyday. The knowing that His steadfast love are new every morning and everyday towards you and me is gracious indeed.

Do you PERCEIVE the same in your being today and now. I hope and PRAY same for you in Christ Jesus, that you might know what it means to be freely free indeed.

IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS: YOU ARE PREDESTINED TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GRACE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“. . . 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will . . . 11 in whom also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who WORKETH ALL THINGS after the COUNSEL OF HIS OWN WILL: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ . . .” Ephesians 1:1-14.

You’ve been PREDESTINATED of God’s own will in Christ Jesus, to succeed in life and grace. For to be BLESSED is to be EMPOWERED purposefully and meaningfully with God’s enabling grace in order for you to SUCCEED, THRIVE, COLOUR, ACHIEVE, BECOME, INNOVATE, EXPLORE, CREATE, INITIATE and such like, in all about doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

I remembered hearing and reading this phrase below years ago that helps to inspire my scriptural search and thinking of Ecclesiastes 3:11, enabling and assuring to my self discovery and recovery as summed up in this wisdom nugget by DR Myles MUNROE of Blessed Memory:

“The Creator HID your future where He knew you could not miss it . . . INSIDE you. Don’t go to your DESTINY . . . BECOME it” – DR Myles MUNROE (BFMI) of Blessed Memory.

This wisdom concept could be explicitly shared in the Scriptures of which Ecclesiastes 3:11 gives more lights to many as written:

“He has made EVERYTHING beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the HUMAN HEART [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, EXCEPT God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11/Amplified.

Stop looking and pursuing for your DESTINY – For your DESTINY is in YOU and you are your DESTINY. You BECOME what you make of yourself. Stop holding others RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for your well being. Rise up, look within and become the you in you that God has MADE wonderfully and reverentially to succeed in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“. . . For You did form my inward parts; You did knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I will confess and praise You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth! Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You when I was being formed in secret [and] intricately and curiously wrought [as if embroidered with various colors] in the depths of the earth [a region of darkness and mystery]. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your BOOK ALL THE DAYS [OF MY LIFE] WERE WRITTEN before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them . . .” Psalms 139:1-18/AMP Classic Edition.

You have to give meaning to your inner being quest and voice. The quest and voice within you could be the most sort out Carpenter, Plumber, Teacher, Educator, Carer, Leader, Administrator, Minister, Medical, Politician, Events Organiser, Baker, Farmer, Painter, Engineer, Technologist, Social worker, Designer, Decorator, Salesperson and such like that your Community and your World are craving to have you to sort their human needs.

Know for such there’s an unction within you to function and though your beginning may be little – small, your latter end could be the answer to the quest and needs of all humans, when you give it a start – 1 John 2:20, 27; Job 8:7; Zachariah 4:10. Your Family, Community, Nation and World are all waiting for your revealing – the manifestation of the you that’s within you – Romans 8:19.

You have been PREDESTINATED to BECOME – Stop running about for a SPECIAL DESTINY PRAYERS.

YOU DON’T NEED TO FAKE IT TO BECOME IT. JUST BE WHO YOU ARE MADE TO BE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

“The Creator hid your future where He knew you could not miss it . . . INSIDE you. Don’t go to your destiny . . . BECOME it” – DR Myles MUNROE (BFMI) of Blessed Memory.

“For all the PROMISES of God IN HIM ARE YEA, and IN HIM AMEN, unto the glory of God by us. 21 Now he which STABLISHETH US with you in Christ, and hath ANOINTED US, is God; 22 who hath also SEALED US, and GIVEN THE EARNEST OF THE SPIRIT IN OUR HEARTS” 2 Corinthians 1:20-22.

“But as it is written, EYE hath not SEEN, nor EAR HEARD, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

THE NEW WINE – MAKES A NEW CREATION

THE NEW WINE – MAKES A NEW CREATION: A NEW CREATION MAKES A NEW YOU – NO PAST – TRULY FREE INDEED!

“Therefore if the Son makes you FREE, you shall be FREE indeed” John 8:36.

What is it that set up your day, every morning? Is it the house you live; is it the car you drive; is it the size of your bank account; is it the empire business and enterprise you’ve established; is it the career you are into; is it the size of the Church and Ministries you go to or called to Pastor; is it the trophies or precious stones you’ve accumulated in life; and actually WHAT SETS YOU UP EACH DAY, MY FRIEND? These and many such like, it’s worth pondering in all matters of doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus stead.

For me, what sets me up and my day, is the knowing and being assured that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. That I am KNOWN of God, QUALIFIED of God, PREDESTINATED by God, GLORIFIED by God, am CALLED of God, am JUSTIFIED by God, and that I am in FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance my RELATIONSHIP with Him through my SAVIOUR and LORD, Jesus Christ. That’s truly indescribable, overwhelming and incomprehensible. The knowing that God’s LOVES me and His presence LIVES in me and with me and for me, that makes it more PRICELESS. That and many such like too numerous to note within time and space, is what gives me HOPE, FAITH and the needed LOVE to win my day for me and all about me for others in doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [2 Corinthians 5:27-21; Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV; Ephesians 1:1-12; Romans 8:28-40; 1 Corinthians 1:9; John 14:16-17; 1 Peter 2:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6; Revelation 5:9-12].

Simply put, the knowing that the NEW CREATION that I have BECOME of God, have NO PAST in Christ Jesus anymore; and my PAST no matter how terrible and unpleasant it was, it can’t hold back my today and future anymore, because of what Christ Jesus has done to wash them away into the sea of forgetfulness and cleansed me from every unrighteousness by His precious and redeeming blood. [2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 6:14-16].

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and PASSETH by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his anger for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will TURN again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt CAST ALL THEIR SINS INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA” Micah 7:18-19.

What a true freedom, to live assured from the eternal God, every morning and everyday. The knowing that His stedfast love are new every morning and everyday towards you and me is gracious indeed.

Do you PERCEIVE the same in your being today and now. I hope and PRAY same for you in Christ Jesus, that you might know what it means to be freely free indeed.

THE NEW CREATION

THE NEW CREATION: TRULY FREE INDEED!

“Therefore if the Son makes you FREE, you shall be FREE indeed” John 8:36.

What is it that set up your day, every morning? Is it the house you live; is it the car you drive; is it the size of your bank account; is it the empire business and enterprise you’ve established; is it the career you are into; is it the size of the Church and Ministries you go to or called to Pastor; is it the trophies or precious stones you’ve accumulated in life; and actually WHAT SETS YOU UP EACH DAY, MY FRIEND? These and many such like, it’s worth pondering in all matters of doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus stead.

For me, what sets me up and my day, is the knowing and being assured that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. That I am KNOWN of God, QUALIFIED of God, PREDESTINATED by God, GLORIFIED by God, am CALLED of God, am JUSTIFIED by God, and that I am in FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance my RELATIONSHIP with Him through my SAVIOUR and LORD, Jesus Christ. That’s truly indescribable, overwhelming and incomprehensible. The knowing that God’s LOVES me and His presence LIVES in me and with me and for me, that makes it more PRICELESS. That and many such like too numerous to note within time and space, is what gives me HOPE, FAITH and the needed LOVE to win my day for me and all about me for others in doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Simply put, the knowing that the NEW CREATION that I have BECOME of God, have NO PAST in Christ Jesus anymore; and my PAST no matter how terrible and unpleasant it was, it can’t hold back my today and future anymore, because of what Christ Jesus has done to wash them away into the sea of forgetfulness and cleansed me from every unrighteousness by His precious and redeeming blood.

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and PASSETH by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his anger for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will TURN again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt CAST ALL THEIR SINS INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA” Micah 7:18-19.

What a true freedom, to live assured from the eternal God, every morning and everyday. The knowing that His stedfast love are new every morning and everyday towards you and me is gracious indeed.

Do you PERCEIVE the same in your being today and now. I hope and PRAY same for you in Christ Jesus, that you might know what it means to be freely free indeed.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore, if ANYONE is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV.

“But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 FOR IN CHRIST JESUS NEITHER CIRCUMCISION NOR UNCIRCUMCISION AVAILS ANYTHING, BUT A NEW CREATION” Galatians 6:14-15.

“Giving thanks to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the POWER OF DARKNESS and CONVEYED (TRANSLATED) us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14 (NKJV) Emphasis Mine.

“They are NEW EVERY MORNING: great is thy faithfulness” Lamentations 3:23.

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for evermore” Psalms 16:11.

“God is faithful, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to HIS PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the IMAGE of his Son, that he might be the FIRSTBORN among many BRETHREN. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.

“Seeing ye have PURIFIED your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto UNFEIGNED LOVE of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 BEING BORN AGAIN, NOT OF CORRUPTIBLE SEED, BUT OF INCORRUPTIBLE, BY THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH LIVETH AND ABIDETH FOR EVER. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 but the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you” 1 Peter 1:22-25.

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be BORN AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” John 3:3-5.
