In His Likeness
God is intentional in all his ways, which is the reason for creating man in His image and likeness. Therefore it is imperative for us to walk and manifest the
reality of His character and deeds.
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Genesis 1vs26.
God’s intention is for you to reflect his nature here on earth, because when you see a shadow, the original image is not far away. We are joint heirs with
Jesus Christ, we are members of God's family. Your lifestyle must show who you are in Christ Jesus if you have been redeemed by His blood.
God desires an intimate fellowship with us every day, it is through this that we are being transformed into his likeness and image.
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2Corintians 3vs18.
We become different from the people of the world because we have been changed into His likeness. Therefore we have dominion over sin, sickness, poverty and all forms of demonic afflictions.
I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. Psalm 82vs6.
We are mandated to resemble Him and exhibit His character in all things as light and salt of the world. The Lord God told me that the church must arise to
her responsibility of dominating and dictating the direction of things in the world. We must step out of our comfort zone from within the four corners of
the church and reflect the light of His likeness to subdue all the activities of darkness that has covered the earth.
What must we do to be in His likeness?
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Romans 6vs5
We must be dead to our old nature and lifestyle. There must be a difference between your new life in Christ Jesus and the old lifestyle that depict sinful life like pride selfishness, lying, anger, fornication, adultery, malice, envy and covetousness.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2corintians 5vs17
It is only those that are dead to all the craftiness of the old nature of the flesh that are made in His likeness. It is only those that are dead to self and lost their will for his will that will have an assurance of His presence in their lives. You must be ready to make sacrifices by paying the price of standing for the truth, dying to self and giving it all to be raised with Jesus Christ in glory and power.
