ACTIVATE YOUR DIVINE NATURE.

The greatest joy of every child of God is the assurance of God's provision for all we need in life and for life. 

2 Peter 1:3-7 (KJV)  According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

Every call comes with responsibilities and expectations which makes provision for resources very essential. When responsibilities are given without adequate resources, it becomes impossible to achieve expected results. This is the same in our call into the family of God, becoming co-heirs with Jesus, this call comes with responsibilities and expectations, which is to participate in the divine nature and reconcile the world to God. 

Apostle Peter in his text to God's elect. "2 Peter 1:3 (KJV)  According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue"  Our precious Father who called us to be co-heirs with Jesus has made provisions for all we need for life in abundance. "salvation is a call into life." but the provisions for this life is revealed through our knowledge of the embodiment of the very nature of God, Jesus Christ. "John 1:14 (KJV)  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." Our study text makes it clear that God is not just trying to make provision for the new life but he has made all the provisions available in Jesus." you can't enjoy whatever you are ignorant of". To enjoy the fullness of God's provisions in Jesus Christ, you must be willing to truly understand what the provisions are. "Matthew 5:6 (KJV)  Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." Jesus Christ in this text, emphasised the need for thirst and hunger for a right life. That place of thirst and hunger is a place of humility, the acknowledgement of your ignorance and the readiness to know. "simplicity is the key to tap into God's resources". James4:6. Your life is the reflection of your accumulated knowledge. Your knowledge of God's provisions for you releases the ability to participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption of the world caused by evil desires. 

"2 Peter 1:4 (KJV)  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." 

Also, receiving ability is not absolutely beneficial until it is exercised."A parked car, equipped with a good engine and fully fueled has the ability/potential to move but remains on a spot until it is put to work." Power is irrelevant until it's put to work." After the knowledge of God's provision has been gotten, we receive everything we need for life but it is present in our lives as potentials." potential simply means, the ability to do" that is, if the ability is not put to work it would yield no result. 

It is our responsibility to display the provision we have received from our father. 

."2 Peter 1:5-7 (KJV)  And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity." 

God will never do for you what he has empowered you to do. Confessing those provisions he has made is never enough, for it only shows we believe, but claiming our right by acting based on your belief is "faith" Remember, without faith, it is impossible to please God. Heb11:6a. So we please God when we get his power activated in us. 

Confession without further steps to claim your right is empty. Make every effort to tap into God's provisions for you, it is available in abundance. You can overcome those weaknesses, though you have been made to believe your weaknesses are to be celebrated. No! No one celebrates failure. Today, I bring the world of Jesus to you. You can overcome it because he has given you the authority to use his name. "1John 5:4 (KJV)  For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith." Don't accept defeat, you are worth more than you have been told you are and what you think about yourself. You have the very nature of Jesus Christ, Get it activated.
