Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:" - Colossians 3:9‭-‬10 KJV


Today we look at how to activate the eternal life of God in us! Let us start with the scripture above - Knowledge

#1: Knowledge -
Our new man (regenerated, born again spirit) needs to be constantly renewed in knowledge after the image (nature and life) of him (God) that created him!. This is very key to activating the eternal life (Life and Nature) of God in us! How can a king function as a king if he doesn't know that he is a king? In the same vein, even though you are a child of God, you can not activate and live out the eternal life of God in you if you don't know you've got it now; if you don't know what it means to have it; if you don't know the BENEFITS of having it! The amplified bible puts it this way:

"...for you have stripped off the old (unregenerate) self with its evil practices, :And have clothed yourselves with the new [spiritual self], which is [ever in the process of being] renewed and remolded into [fuller and more perfect knowledge upon] knowledge after the image (the likeness) of Him Who created it."

Note the words "And have clothed yourselves with the new [spiritual self], which is [EVER IN THE PROCESS OF BEING] RENEWED AND REMOLDED into [fuller and more perfect knowledge upon] knowledge after the image (the likeness) of Him Who created it."

The new you needs to be renewed and remoulded daily with knowledge and more knowledge of this new life AFTER THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS (eternal life and nature) of Him (God) who created him! What it means is that, it is not a one-off process. You have to constantly HAVE AND BE IN THE KNOWLEDGE of the fact that you have this life now and KNOWLEDGE of the BENEFITS of having this life now! Its a consciousness you carry with you regularly by knowledge and you act accordingly. That's the reason why this truth has to be taught in churches. Another fact here is that, you ought to find out what this life has got to offer you NOW! It is your responsibility and once you get a hold of it, you act on it!

#2: Daily Consciousness
With this knowledge comes consciousness! You become aware that you are not ordinary and you go about with that consciousness! By this level of heightened consciousness, you are able to reject every package of the devil that comes to you because you know it is not consistent with your new life to have it.

#3: Faith and Declaration
The knowledge you have of your new life produces consciousness which in turn builds faith! Having knowledge, consciousness and faith is not enough! You have to speak or constantly declare it "Eternal life is living and active in me! I am completely inundated with eternal life! It flows through me, giving life, health and strength to my body"

It is your declaration that activates the power and the mighty workings of this Life in you! And the more you declare it. and hear yourself say those words, the more your faith is built up and your spirit is conditioned to live out or manifest that Life!
