THE SUPERNATURAL LIFE

Open Heavens 2014: Tuesday May 27, Daily Devotion By Pastor E. A. Adeboye - THE SUPERNATURAL LIFE

Topic: THE SUPERNATURAL LIFE [Tuesday May 27, 2014]

Memorise:
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God:

 for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, 

because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians 2:14

Read: 1 Corinthians 2:12-16

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God;

 that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 

13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth,

 but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God:

 for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, 

because they are spiritually discerned. 

15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, 

yet he himself is judged of no man. 

16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord,

 that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Message:

God created the world to be controlled physically by some natural laws and principles, 

and spiritually by supernatural laws and principles.

 He then made man in His own image as lord, king and master, 

to have dominion and rule over everything He created, both in the physical 

and spiritual dimensions. After Satan successfully deceived Eve, Adam and Eve sinned 

against God, and their sin attracted judgement from God. 

The major implication of the judgement pronounced upon them was spiritual death

 which is the loss of supernatural life. Hence, the dominion and authority of man 

became limited to the physical world which is controlled by natural laws and principles.

It is important to note that these natural laws and principles work for

 all human beings who would fulfil the requirements. Naturally,

 whatever goes up must come down; whoever sows shall reap; if you give,

 you shall receive; a diligent hand shall rule; what you see physically determines 

what you can get; sickness requires medical treatment; death is terminal etc.

 In the natural world, knowledge is power and no one can grow

 beyond the limit of his or her knowledge and abilities. The natural

 world operates strictly based on logic. Many Christians today live in poverty, 

sickness, bondage, fear, debt, sorrow, and failure because they are operating at 

the natural level. I pray that you will break loose from the natural level and begin to operate

 in the supernatural from today in Jesus’ Name.

Supernatural laws and principles can only work for those who have

 accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour and are spirit-filled. Such must

 be living holy lives and walking by faith, not by sight. These are those 

whose faith is not built on the wisdom of men but on the power of God.

 Having the spiritual enablement to live a victorious life, to save souls, 

raise the dead, heal the sick and deliver the oppressed is the whole essence of Christianity. 

I pray that as you thirst and hunger for the supernatural life, the Lord himself

 will satisfy your hunger and anoint you powerfully for His service in Jesus’ Name.

Prayer Point:
Father, I am tired of sharing the same ordinary natural life with the rest of the world, 

please take me higher to the supernatural level in Jesus’ Name.

Bible in a Year:
