Welcome to part 1 of the Spirit Life. This week Prophet Hari begins to unravel the topic of true spirituality. We live in a time where the quest for relevance and acceptance has managed to dilute the truth of the Word of God. Sadly, many of us have come up with clever answers to cover up the lack of truth. As children of God, we must have more than information and theory, we must have the power and reality of God.
The Kingdom of God is not one of the words alone. The Kingdom of God is made up of words and power. In John 3:1 onward, we see the conversation between Nicodemus and Jesus. Nicodemus could perceive that no one could do the signs that Jesus was producing unless God is with him. Jesus didn’t only bring information, He brought information along with signs, wonders and miracles. There was a corresponding action and results to the teachings of Jesus. This also tells us that there is a way of verifying if God is with somebody. The words coupled with actions prove the presence of Almighty God in one's life.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. When we are born again we are introduced to a new kingdom. In our fallen nature, we did not have the capacity or faculties to interact with the Kingdom of God. As children of God, what was invisible before becomes visible to us. Being born again is the quintessential experience of a believer's life, it’s when we become a spiritual being. To engage with the Holy Spirit, you must also be a spiritual being. As a spiritual being, you must ask yourself the question, if what you’re consuming isn’t producing Spirit in you, then where does it come from?
This Christian life can’t be divorced or separated from spirituality. Christianity is the real spiritual life. The life that Jesus authored is the true supernatural.
1- The Christian life is first and foremost spiritual.
God who is a Spirit made the physical world. Every work of God is spiritual.
2- Our identity is first and foremost spiritual
Who are you if everything that you lean on to form your identity is suspended? (Ex: Gender, culture, family). You are first and foremost a child of God. You are a spiritual being that came from a spiritual source. Your destiny and diet are spiritual. The sustenance of your spirit is the Words of God. Have you fed your spirit the sustenance that is required for it to grow?
