Hello everyone,
In my last write-up, I made us understand that what is most important in our lives is to build our Spirit Man, but as we do that, we should be alert because the devil attacks us, trying to prevent us from achieving our true identity in Christ, and he does this through distractions. As we know, the world is already full of distractions, and our growth in Christ is going against these tide of distractions. But we need to meditate more on who we are in Christ. This is what we ought to do right? But let's go closer into the meditation itself and identify what we need to focus on regularly in order to stand strong on the Solid Rock [Christ Jesus], against the wiles of the devil.
In answering this question, the question becomes, "who are we meditating on?" We are to meditate on Jesus Christ, and not just any Jesus. Why is this so? This is so because Jesus of Nazareth and the resurrected Jesus are different. How?
Jesus of Nazareth was a sacrifice, while the resurrected Jesus is a life giving Spirit, the last Adam, and a brand new beginning, (ref.: 1 Corinthians 15:45). He is the King of all kings and Lord of all lords. The One Who has all authority in heaven and earth, (ref.: Matthew 28:18; Philippians 2:9). And He is the One we are to meditate on. Why?
The reason why we are to meditate on the resurrected Jesus is because everything that pertains to His life as a whole was given to us completely by Grace. He became our new life, (ref.: Colossians 3:4), (referring to those who have received Jesus as Lord), because our old life died on the cross. Therefore, to meditate on Jesus is know who we are right now.
To know Jesus, is to know your new life. And as you know who He is, we know that we have power over the devil. So, now that we know Jesus is the One we are to focus on, we need to always do something which would strengthen us.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
Log on next time.
