And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this
life is in his Son (1 John 5:11). The Christian is one who has received eternal life. Eternal life is the
life and nature of God, which is in Jesus Christ. This is the life that Jesus
brought to the world, and He imparts it to the spirit of the one who believes
in Him.
Unfortunately, many don’t know what this glorious eternal life is; its
impact in, and upon, the one that has it! They think eternal life is that life
which you get when you get to heaven. But that’s not true. The one who doesn’t
have eternal life on earth wouldn’t even go to heaven. John said, “These things
have I written unto you...that ye may know that ye have eternal life...” (1
John 5:13). Why did he emphasize eternal life as our present-hour reality? Why
is it so important that we have and live with the consciousness that we have
the God-life now?
It’s because of the impact and implication of that God-life in, and for,
the one who has it. For example, cancer or any other disease or infirmity
shouldn’t thrive in the body of the one who has eternal life. This doesn’t mean
that you may not be “attacked” by cancer; but that’s what it is: “an attack!”
You don’t let it stay! You declare, “I have eternal life! Therefore, in the
Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, get out of my body! I refuse to accommodate
you!” The moment you say that, it stops growing and starts shrinking, until it
passes out of your body. This is the effect of eternal life in you.
Irrespective of the pain you might be feeling, or the situation you find
yourself in, keep declaring, “Eternal life is at work in me!” This life which
you’ve received isn’t for nothing! Refuse to accept disease and infections in
your body; refuse anything that’s of the devil, because the life in you is the
God-life; it’s impregnable.
CONFESSION: Eternal life is at work in me, in every fibre of my being,
in every cell of my blood, and in every bone of my body! I live transcendently
above sickness, disease, and infirmities! I’m superior to Satan and the
elements of this world, because divine life works in me! Glory to God!
FURTHER STUDY: 1 Timothy 6:12 NLT- Fight the good fight for the
true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which
you have declared so well before many witnesses.
1 John 1:2 NLT - This one who is life itself was revealed to us, and we have seen him. And now we testify and proclaim to you that he is the one who is eternal life. He was with the Father, and then he was revealed to us.
