JUST AS HE IS!

1 John 4: 17b ; because as He is, so are we in this world!

Dear Woman,  I thought it good enough to remind you of your identity because this is the core of The Complete Woman’s Vision. To reveal your identity in Christ Jesus and help you harness the potentials within till you manifest all. The wholeness of your spirit, soul and body is my concern.

You won’t look like Jesus when you go home to be with the Lord, You already look like Him now. You have all potentials Christ has, you can do all Christ can do.  You mean Jesus is as fat or slim as I am, with a dark or yellow skin, 5 feet tall with some big yam legs…..Hol’ up! If you look at your physical body to understand who Christ is, you’ll miss it. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says ‘If anyone is IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATION’……

Your spirit was what became new when you became born again, it was regenerated and it looked exactly like Christ! Every creature begats after its own Kind, Like begats like, if God is  Spirit and you are born of Him, then your spirit looks exactly like Him, NOW!  Notice the scripture above didn’t say ‘just as He is, SO WE WILL BE’ but rather it says ‘Just as He is SO ARE WE’ and it  went ahead  to emphasize ‘IN THIS WORLD’, what a solace!

The Question is if I am just as He is, the HOW IS HE? I need to understand who Jesus is and what He looks like to know who I am and what I look like. A new creation in Christ is not supposed to live less of who Christ is on earth, the challenge is we either don’t know who we are or have not learnt to harness our identity. So who are we?

Ephesians 4:24- and that you put on the new man which was CREATED ACCORDING TO GOD, IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUE HOLINESS.

1. Your spirit is as RIGHTEOUS as God is. This is established in the scripture above.  You won’t be less righteous or more righteous than the righteousness of God you have been made IN CHRIST. (2Cor 5:21). I didn’t choose in my mother’s womb whose face I want to look like or the shape of nose and style of nails I wanted to have, it was genetically transferred through my parent’s gene. My DNA was not decided by me, I inherited it automatically, so is the righteousness of God, it is not what you earn, it is   a gift imputed unto you when you became born again, it’s the DNA of your spirit. Someone says ‘but the bible says in Romans 3: 10, no one is righteous, no not one’, dear woman, don’t read out of context and do not make a mole from a hill, read the whole chapter of Romans 3, verse 21 and 22 says But NOW, the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and prophets, even THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD WHICH IS THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST TO ALL AND ON ALL WHO BELIEVE. For there is no difference.
2.  It first described the righteousness that is by law before Christ came and then the righteousness that is by faith IN Christ.

The most beautiful thing that can ever happen to you is to BE IN CHRIST. Christ is not just a person, He is  a place. When you understand that you have been made the righteousness of God, this nature will help you bear fruit unto holiness. Many Christians think since they are already made the righteousness of God an nothing can be added or removed from this righteousness, let us go ahead and do what we like. HOL’ UP RIGHT THERE! Your spirit was the one that became righteous,, that is just one third of who you are, you still have a soul and body that was once dominated by sin and flesh. The question is how does my right being(nature) produce a right doing(action)?

Firstly,Renew your mind to this new nature in your spirit, your soul must walk in alignment with who you already are in your spirit. You must be more conscious of your righteous nature, learn to live from the inside out, let the thought off who you are dominate your soulish realm,  meditate more on your righteous nature, you still manifesting it and it will be evident in your actions. Even when you are tempted to do contrary things, the moment you awake to the consciousness of who you are, you  would feel a restraint.
