THE REAL WOMAN

 

fh4_0277Dear Woman, your mother has probably shared with you, the joy that filled her heart when you came into this world,  when she held you in her arms the moment you had your first breath here, the joy of holding you quickly numbed the memory of her travail. Her dreams of seeing you taking your first step, calling her mama excites her already. She had great plans for you already, what you would be called, your vocation and the likes. She told the whole family to rejoice with her as she danced to the rhythm of her best music the day you were named. She had no idea, the real you had not been born yet.

There are two kinds of birth, the natural and the spiritual. The later supercedes the former. It is God Himself becoming your father. (1 Peter 1:23-having been born again, not of incorruptible seed but incorruptible, through the WORD of God which lives and abides forever.) The REAL YOU is born the day you believe that Christ is the son of God and you confess His lordship over your life.(Romans 10:10). This day, the real you emerges.

Man is a spirit, he has a soul and he lives in a body (1 Thess 5:23-Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole SPIRIT, SOUL and BODY be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ). THE REAL YOU IS YOUR SPIRIT, not your soul nor your body. Your spirit man is dead until you accept Christ as your Lord, because through your parents, you inherited the sin nature that made you die spiritually,although your soul and body is alive. This was why David said, ‘ in sin my mother conceived me, in sin, I was given birth to. This means, you were spiritually dead until you were born into the family of God. Your mother gave birth to a ‘dead living’ child, your soul and body were alive but your spirit ( The Real you) was dead. The new birth is the regeneration of your spirit, it gives life to it, the real you now emerges.

Just as you were born a baby in the natural, so also you were born a baby in the spiritual, God Himself, becomes your father, and you now have access to all His inheritance. As much as your biological family rejoiced over your birth, so also in the spiritual realm, heaven rejoiced when you accepted the  life of Christ, the angels digged it seriously because a new born was added to the family of God. (Luke 15:7- I say to you that likewise there will be more JOY IN HEAVEN over one sinner who repents than over ninety nine just persons who needs no repentance). Your natural age has nothing to do with your spiritual age, if you are 25 years old  physically but accepted Christ yesterday, you are only a day old Spiritually. Also spiritual age has nothing about how long you have been going to church but since when you accepted Christ.

God is the best daddy anyone can have. My biological father could not and will never be able to provide me some things but God is limitless. Even if you are fatherless, you ought to rejoice that you have a better daddy. Just as your parents had plans for you before you were born, so also God had predestined you for a particular purpose before you were born into His family.

Permit me for the sake of this series to take you on a journey, that would reveal your identity and help you discover your purpose, this is the vision of The Complete Woman.

If you are reading this post and you are yet to accept Christ, I want to give you this golden opportunity, to make this confession, Lord Jesus, I thank you for saving me, I believe you are the son of God and I confess you as my Lord and Saviour.( Romans 10:10-for with the heart one believes to righteousness and with the mouth confession is made to salvation). Amen! I congratulate you because heaven is rejoicing over you right now. Though nothing seems to have happened in the physical, but a lot has taken place in the spiritual.

N:B- THE REAL YOU IS YOUR SPIRIT, AND IT WAS BORN THE DAY YOU ACCEPTED CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOUR.
