Topic: You Are Born Of The Spirit; You Are Spirit" by Sunday Ayodele, Lagos, Nigeria
Published Wednesday May 18th 2022.

John 3:6
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Man that is born of a woman is flesh he is not spirit. Flesh is only capable of giving birth to flesh. Spirit is only capable of giving birth to spirit. Flesh can only give birth to flesh, while the Holy Spirit can only give birth to spirit. It takes being born of the Spirit, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, to be spirit.

The uniqueness of the believer in Christ lies in the fact that he is spirit. As spirit he is able to relate intimately with the Father of spirits and able to overcome the troubles that come with everyday earthly existence. Being born of the Spirit the believer is from above and is therefore above all that is in the earth realm.

Knowing that you are spirit and walking as spirit makes living by faith a joyful and rewarding daily experience. Walking as spirit will cause you to see things from God's perspective rather than the physical perspective which limits men. Spirits are concerned with spiritual realities not physical things that fade with time.

Stop seeing yourself as ordinary; you are spirit. You are not an ordinary man; you are not flesh. You are born of the Spirit: you are a spirit. You are a spirit who has a soul and lives in a human body. You are not a body; you are a spirit living in a human body. You have the capacity to live high and above the limiting influence of the flesh. You are meant to reign in life through the exercise of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His finished work.

Your victory is tied to seeing yourself as spirit, and deliberately walking as one in all things. Operate from the spirit realm as the Holy Spirit reveals. Commit to walking daily in the Spirit and the word and nothing will be impossible to you today and always.

Think About This:
John 3:8
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Faith Confession:
I am born of the Spirit. I am a spirit. I have a soul. I live in a human body. I am supernatural. Nothing is impossible to me. Hallelujah!

Prayer:
Pray in the Spirit.

Daily Bible Reading:
Acts chapter 1.

Your day is blessed
