Children are a beautiful creation from God. They are filled with so much creativity that we adults wonder how they reason or develop such an idea. But when we look closely at these children we see semblance of character and language with their parent or guardian. As many would say, this is not always the case of genes because a foster child who behaves like the guardian isn't genetically related to that person. We see children behave this way because children often imitate what they see adults do, and by adults I mean the closest adults to them, which in many cases are their parents or guardians.
Parents may train a child, but the children pick what they see, and this includes language. So, if you teach a child a thing, but do a different thing, don't be surprised to see the child do what you do rather than what you teach.
It is believed that humans are born without any knowledge, and the first form of communication oftentimes moulds the person, unless another is being introduced as an addition, which oftentimes is the case. This happens through socialisation with parents, friends, and people often seen around.
God made Adam and Eve and was the only person they communicated with. Even if they could communicate with angels, the angels would only carry the message of God. This happened until an angel carried a message different from that of God that caused the deception of Eve and the eventual fall of man.
When God called Adam in Genesis 3:9, Adam replied in verse 10 "So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”" God then said verse 11, "And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”" Why did God say this?
There was only one reason, Adam said what God hadn't taught or acted before him. So, the only way this would have happened was because another form of knowledge, not from God had gotten into him. And this knowledge had corrupted his nature. The sinful nature.
Every man came from Adam and the sinful nature apart from being seen from one person before another, the nature which is contrary to that of God was a natural way of life, because this nature was different from that of God, and it is a sinful nature. The only way out is death.
And we all know that was why Jesus came to redeem us from the cause of sin, by dying in one life and raising up in another. And this other life is the life of Christ from God, and also why Jesus is the last Adam (ref.: 1 Corinthians 15:22, 45).
For all those who are born again, we have Jesus as their Adam. But this time, His Spirit lives on the inside of us (ref.: 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:19). The good news is all of whom Jesus is, in His fullness, lives on the inside of us. And this includes His health, wealth, authority, dominion, and every other thing that pertains to our Lord Jesus, He has made us joint heirs with Him (ref.: Romans 8:17).
What this means is that as we are complete in Him in Spirit, in other words, we have become Him, we are to fix our eyes and mind on Him for the transformation of the renewal of our minds (ref.: Colossians 3:1-2 Hebrews 12:2).
We have no business with things outside of Christ. As we meditate on the word of God, we are searching for Christ to know who we have become. And the Holy Spirit teaches and interprets the scriptures to us, and leads us into how Christ Jesus is to live and go about His daily life.
But we don't all of a sudden manifest the fullness of Christ in its entirety, because our minds are still being renewed. This is why some who are born again live as those of the first Adam, due to ignorance. We should be careful about the things we see or listen to. And what we spend our time doing during the day. They should building you up in Christ.
So, the question I'm asking you is who are you looking at? This is because if we fix our eyes on Jesus, we live and manifest His life faster.
So, who are you looking at?
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!
