Some people might readily agree with you when you describe yourself as a child of God, but when you say you’re divine, they pause and warn you of going too far. But isn’t it contradictory to disagree that a child of God is divine? Being a child of God isn’t just religious talk. It means you’re an associate of the God-kind.
You’re a God-man or God-woman. The Bible says, “By which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” (2 Peter 1:4). If you follow the tenses carefully, you’ll realise that this isn’t a promise; it’s already done. He’s made us partakers of the divine nature. The original Greek says, “associates of the God-kind,” similar to saying “mankind.” So, who really are you?
If you’re born again, you’ve been brought into the God-kind, a divine family. You have divine life. The Bible says in 1 John 5:13 (NIV), “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.” God wants you to know you have eternal life. That’s the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The life you got from your parents when they gave birth to you has been replaced by eternal life. You now have the divine life that dispels and obliterates all sicknesses, diseases, and afflictions. This is what makes us invincible in life. This life dispels darkness, poverty, failure, and death. Hallelujah!
Confession
I’m an associate of the God-kind in vital, inseparable oneness and union with divinity. I’m superior to Satan, and I’m above the forces of darkness because I’ve been brought into the God-kind, a divine pantheon. Divinity is at work in me. Glory to God!
