SUPER GOD............................................SUPER MAN part 1

SUPER GOD……………………SUPER MAN I was watching a particular movie series (which I don’t do often) titled FLASH. It is the story of a young man who was involved in an accident that occurred during a scientific expenditure. He went into coma after the accident and woke up later to discover he has super-human speed. About 2 hours into the movie a verse of scripture popped into my mind. This verse is related to the story in 1 King 18. Elijah the mighty prophet of God came to reverse his declaration of drought. He went up to the mountain to pray for rain. God released the rain but the man of God was about to be drenched in the rain if he did not hurry. 1 King 18:46 say “The land of the Lord was upon Elijah and he outran the chariots of Ahab”. This statement may not sound incredible to the reader until one remember that a royal chariot normally has at least two horses. Now, a 21st century reader of this incident would say that it is only possible if one is “super-human”. The term Super-human is normally used to describe fictitious characters with special abilities that enable them to perform feats way beyond the ability of the average person. This topic became more interesting to me when it dropped in my spirit that God actually planned that mankind would be “super-human”. At creation, we were imparted with his divine nature which provides the “super” component. That’s why Adam was able to name over 4million species of animals and insects without formal education. Even after the fall, he created a way for mankind to access divinity. That’s what enabled Moses to part the Red sea, Joshua to hold the sun in its position and many more. Still not satisfied with how much access we had to divinity, he gave his son to die for our sins so we can have complete access to divinity through him. That singular sacrifice established our super-human status forever. It is therefore unfortunate that majority of mankind especially Christians are living a life below their super-human status. Mankind became convinced that Super-Human exists only in the realm of the fictitious i.e. a figment of man’s imagination. A proof of this is the fact that these days movies are our only source of encounter with the super-human. Worse still, most super human characters in movies are demonic. As a result, we no longer belief in our original identity. The people who accept that the super-human realm exists resort to demonic practices in their quest to access it. Others are so scared that they never step in. This completely robs us of our potential and prevents us from fulfilling the Gen 1:28 mandate. Interestingly, truth remains constant whether or not it is believed or acted upon. This means that our super-human capabilities still exist within us even though we don’t utilize them. It also implies that anything we began to deploy our “super powers”, the doors of extra-ordinary achievements will open to us on its own. We can then live the meaningful, prosperous life God intended for us to live. Allow me to offer a few tips on how to tap into and maximize your super power for the benefit of mankind. TIP I: - RECONNECT TO GOD. Mankind lost access to it’s super powers in the garden of Eden. We also lost something much more precious; an intimate connection to God. This connection is the source of our super powers in the first place. But thanks be to God because in his infinite love for us he made it possible to restore our connection to him and get back our super-powers. He gave our fathers the Law which is actually a set of instructions which if fully obeyed would allow a measure of reconnection and access to our super powers. However, the law was just a stop gap to preserve us till the appointed time when his son would appear on the scene. Then through him, we can have our connection fully restored and we can be so empowered that the devil can’t overpower us again for ever. However, for any man to enjoy this reconnection and empowerment he must approach God through faith in his son Jesus. This means that he must believe in his son Jesus and what he accomplished on the cross for mankind. He must accept him as saviour and lord. When this happens, every sin hindering your connection is paid for in fall. You can now come bold to the throne of grace as a son. This process gives you your super power back. FAITH: - Even though you have your powers back, you may not see them manifest except you absolutely believe you have them back. This is where the enemy goes to work on the mind of human beings. This is because he knows that if he can convince us that we are powerless, he has won a flawless victory. To do this, he bombards us with various obstacles and then says “if you are powerful, why is this happening”. The problem is that many people believe him because they lack adequate knowledge to give him the appropriate response. If that is not going to work, he works on promoting beliefs that shifts our focus from God’s power within us to ourselves or the devil. These days when a person performs extra-ordinary feats, people automatically conclude that he is being assisted by a demonic power. Even the person himself attributes his success to other things except the power of God within him. This is a direct opposite of the state of mind of Apostle Paul when he said “I am what I am by the grace of God”. Even though I work hard and pray hard, every result I have is by God’s grace. To combat this strategy of the enemy, it is important to daily feast on the word of God. The more of God’s word you read, hear and understand the more empowered you are against the enemy. You would be able to sense the enemy at work and you would have the right instruments to dislodge him. It is also advised that you pray constantly in the Holy Spirit. The bible enjoins us to build up our most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit. So when the enemy comes, we would be ready to win.
