Born Of God
1 Peter 1:23; 1 John 4:4

James 1: 18 "Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures."" The man in Christ is born of God. He or she is a bonafide child of God with His very own life in him or her. In John 1:12-13, the Word declares: "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."" At salvation, it was new birth that took place, not conversion. When you got saved, you were born anew after the order of the One who reproduced you. Conversion is a change from one form to another, while new birth is a spiritual biological birth. For example, when you were born into this physical world, you were not converted, were you? You were a real biological being born into this world, right? In the same vein, when you got born again, you were a spiritual biological being born anew into the world of Christ. Every man in Christ is a progeny of God; an offspring of the Father God. Beloved, live in this consciousness and avail yourself of every opportunity this new birth offers. You are God's offspring born of Him to live life with His potentials and possibilities available to you all the time. Beloved, God’s is your father and you are His child you have inheritance in you God’s gene (DNA) running in you. Wake up to the fact that you are of God and that you are divine. You are not of this world; you are of Good with the very ability of God within you. You are not ordinary (1John 4:4).

Other Scriptures for Meditation: 1 John 3:1-2; Romans 8:15
