TOPIC: We Hail From Deity (Rhapsody of Realities 31 March 2024)
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than in the world (1 John 4:4).
Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:
There’s a misconception about the meaning of “Ye are of God” in the verse above. To some, it means “to be on God’s side,” but that’s incorrect. The Apostle John’s construction isn’t ambiguous, so it isn’t about being on anyone’s side. It simply means you hail from Deity. In other words, your origin is in God; you’re His offspring.
It’s akin to what the Bible says in James 1:18: “Of his will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.” To hail from God, Christ must be in you; you must receive Him to live in you.

Recall Lord Jesus’ words in John 3:3:: “…Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” The concluding phrase of our opening verse gives credence to this:: “…greater is He that is in you…;” so, He has to be in you. Think about it: He gave birth to you to live in you!
The Bible says, “…Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27). Because of the greater One who lives in you, you have absolute victory over all forces of darkness and the wicked spirits that orchestrate evil.
Read how beautifully the AMPC renders our opening verse: “Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist] because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world.” Praise God!
You have overcome the adversary and their nefarious and sinister plans to cause untold hardship, troubles, sorrows, distresses, and corrupting influences because you hail from the Deity! Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
Dear Father, I boldly proclaim that I have overcome all the forces of darkness and wicked spirits that orchestrate evil plans in the world because I hail from God, and the more extraordinary One lives in me. I have overcome the world’s sorrows, distresses, and corrupting influences. I’m victorious always in Christ Jesus. Amen.

John 1:12-13 (KJV); 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor the will of the flesh, nor the will of man, but of God.
1 Peter 1:23 (KJV); Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
1 John 5:4-5 (KJV); 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world but believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
