*THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT YOU*
_But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you_ *(Romans 8:11)*
Christianity is not a religion; it’s Christ in you (Colossians 1:27). It’s the outworking of the God-life in a human person. The Christian is one who has received and manifests the organic and existential attributes of divinity. That’s what makes you different. You didn’t come into religion when you received Christ. You came into reality.
The Bible says, *“And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life…”* (1 John 5:11-12). This life is the transcendent life. Consider the human body. Even in its present, fallen state, it has the ability to reproduce cells, to repair and restore itself. That is human life, yet that life is corrupted due to the fall of Adam.
If that corrupted life can still function at that level, then think about the life of God in you that’s incorruptible, indestructible and divine! The Bible says, *“…being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever”* (1 Peter 1:23).
This is what you have now, a life that carries within it the ability to produce and effect changes. The Lord Jesus said, *“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…”* (Acts 1:8). That power is the dynamic ability to cause changes. It’s at work in you even now; it’s in your system.
It helps you understand when the Scripture says if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He will vitalize your mortal body (Romans 8:11). He gives life to your physical body. 2 Corinthians 4:7-11 tells us something remarkable; it says, *“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed....”*
You’re indestructible. You’re a victor forever. You can never be disadvantaged. You have the ability to produce and reproduce success. You carry that power, the genes of excellence within you. It’s for the same reason that the Bible says whatsoever you do, shall prosper (Psalm 1:3).
You must realise and walk in the consciousness of this reality. There’s something about you: something divine and powerful; something that sets you apart from the ordinary. The Bible says, *“...greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world”* (1 John 4:4). Let this be the mindset that defines your life every day.
*PRAYER*
_Dear Father, I thank you for your life in me, and I’m conscious of its power and work in my spirit, and the ministry of the Holy Ghost in my entire being. The divine life vitalizes my body and produces changes in every area of my life. I walk in dominion, strength and victory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._
*FURTHER STUDY:*
*2 Corinthians 4:7-11 NIV* But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. *8* We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; *9* persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. *10* We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. *11* For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body.
*1 John 5:11-12 NIV* And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. *12* Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
*1 Corinthians 6:19 NIV* Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
