Christ has purchased for us with His own Blood, all our achievements but ignorance kept several others from it.  Before you were born, all preparation for your greater achievement has been made for you but you can only lay claim to it by confessing Christ Jesus as your Lord and savior. You can be born again and still don’t have the knowledge of your birthright in Christ!

The newness of life in Christ Jesus gives us Joy and Peace in our spirit minds. It also put an end to do-or-die achievement. The joy of the Holy Ghost envelopes our personality whenever we get to this stage. It means Christ is in total control of the affairs of our life.  Peter who couldn’t walk close to Jesus before he began to sink was seen walking back into the boat with Christ Jesus when he held him. It was possible because he surrendered his life totally to Christ.

The woman with the issue of blood encountered newness of life when she touched the garment of the King of kings, wow! You just need to touch with faith to be able to claim your birthright. Qualification without salvation is frustration and possession without protection is destruction. Some have turned material things to mean their security. What an error!

When she touched Jesus she was made whole. In other words, all she has spent and lost during her sickness was restored to her in hundred folds. Apparently, she left the presence of Christ with abundance, from that moment she was untroubled. 

Luke 8:48

48 And He said to her, Daughter, your faith (your confidence and trust in Me) has made you well! Go (enter) into peace (untroubled, undisturbed well-being). AMP 

Whenever Christ Jesus says: “enter your peace” it encompasses every aspect of your life. Don’t ever imagine that the newness of life is only meant for one aspect of your life and the others suffer! 

To Manifest Newness of Life

You must allow the Holy Spirit to govern your mind and renew it. Obviously, whenever your mind is renewed your utterance will be transformed and your approach towards all things changes to the glory of God without a doubt.

Your attitude becomes of Christ Jesus but it’s baffling how some of us claim to be born again child of God but our attitude remains unchanged!

Ephesian 4:23

And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude], AMP

Apostle Paul admonished us that if we must manifest newness of life, we should constantly do self-examination. It must be on a regular basis until the maturity of Christ is formed in us. Whenever you tell lies, you should be able to run to God and confess it immediately. Don’t assume He sees you, yes He does but a person with the right spirit reports himself to His master for corrections.

Oftentimes, I confess my shortcomings before God after ministration; “Father please search me if there’s any unrighteousness in me, please wash me with the Blood of your Son Jesus Christ. If there be anywhere I have spoken my word and not your word, please forgive me”. Christians should learn to checkmate themselves always. If this is done with sincerity, our portion of the newness of life will manifest.

Put It On

The newness of life will never jump on you, yes! You’re expected to play your own part and your role is to put it on. In other words, God has made it available to us, it is in our power to put it on by His grace. This grace is available to all who are willing to accept Him.

Your personality must change to God’s own image because we were created in His image. If the personality of God engulfs us, we wouldn’t lack anything. Then we will be operating in the realm which says; before you ask I will do it. It requires more commitment to Him and striving to know Him as the almighty, diligent in our approach to Him.

Ephesian 4:24        

24- And put on the new nature (the regenerate self) created in God's image, [Godlike] in true righteousness and holiness. AMP

Lest I forget before we will put it on, it means we will put off what was on us,

Col 3:8-10

8’ But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth.

9’ Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices, NASB 

Eph 4:22

22 that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, NASB

Obviously, if we can lay aside our old selves, definitely the true nature of Christ will manifest in us without struggles. We shouldn’t be too proud to cry out for Divine help to deal with our sinful nature because if we cannot cry out, it will carry us away to destruction.

A Price has to be paid for us to receive. The price rebuke every unfaithful habit with the name of Jesus Christ. You should declare you’re redeemed by the precious Blood of Jesus Christ cautiously to all situations or storms of our lives, you shall surely reap a precious harvest if you abide forever without corruptions.
