Children of the the Living God: The Children of light

By Chinedum Walters Ogbuka

God created man in His own image, with dominion and authority over all His creation; both living and non-living things, both plants and animals. When Satan deceived the first man and woman to sin against God, they lost their glory and dominion; and inherited a fallen nature of death from the first man, Adam. God begin to form a people that will inherit a risen nature different from the nature inherited from Adam. This new nature will lead to eternal life.
Beginning from the covenant God made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; God formed a special people for Himself, according to His divine plan and purpose for humanity. The descendants of Abraham are born from the seed of God; they are the heritage of God according to the promise.
Adam and Eve lost their birthright, fellowship, and inheritance as God's children because they chose to listen to the devil instead of obeying God. Sin made them imperfect and rebellious against God with the ultimate consequences of death. To be reconciled with God, man needs a new birth; to be born again, not of the flesh, which is dead before God, but of the Spirit of God.
God's power in a human's life can transform a natural man into a supernatural man; from human to divine, from being born of the flesh to being born of the spirit. God has given us a chance to live again and be fruitful. Whatsoever is dead in our life and body can live again, there is restoration in the life and glory of everyone who believes in God, this is the heritage of all the children of God.
The children of God have the divine nature of God and have been raised in heavenly places to overcome the powers and principles on earth.

Chapter One

Born of God

God created man in His own image, with dominion and authority over all His creation; both living and non-living things, both plants and animal. Man was created with Gods glory to dominate all of God’s creation. The natural man was made from the dust of the earth, and by the breath of God, man become a living soul.

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7

When Satan deceived the first man and woman to sin against God, they lose their glory and dominion. God already told them the consequences of their sin, which is death.

1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. Genesis 3: 1-6 

God formed man out of dust; the flesh was made out of dust to become a living soul. Man formed out of the dust was supposed to live forever, but inherited a fallen nature of death from the first man, Adam.

Through Abraham, God begin to form a people that will inherit a risen nature different from the nature inherited from Adam. This new nature, which will be inherited by faith in the seed of Abraham, is by the Spirit of life in Christ that leads to eternal life. Abraham gave birth to two sons identified in the bible; Ishmael and Isaac, Ishmael was born according to the human natural reproductive system of the body, which is of the flesh; Isaac was born according to the divine supernatural power of God through faith, which is of the spirit. Faith of the Spirit begot Isaac according to the word of God.

"22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. 24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. 25
