And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. (1 Corinthians 15:45)
The Bible accounts for two separate species of beings on earth called man. The first group in the Bible is the first Adam while the second group is the second and last Adam. Adam in the original Hebrew is the word for mankind hence the usage, first Adam or first mankind, and the last Adam or last mankind. To differentiate them, the first mankind might be identifiable by their biological function, their breathing, walking, talking and Interacting with others in the way that people do. The second mankind or last mankind, the Bible refers to as a life-giving spirit. Now ,if you are born again and belong to Christ, you are a life-giving spirit, nothing dies in or around you without your say so.
This distinction between the first mankind, which is not born again and this second and last mankind, which is born again and in Christ, is such a sharp contrast that while the former can, for example, fall sick and be in need of healing, the latter is a healing carrying being from God.
While the first mankind can lack, be in need or be rendered poor by government policy or market dynamics, members of the second mankind, like you, have an abundance of grace that keeps you perpetually several steps ahead, needing nothing, and always abundant. 2 Corinthians 9:8 says, "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work."
But then, how do you give life to the situations and circumstances in and around you? You give life through your faith proclamations. Hebrews 11:3 says, "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible." This is the point where the ways of being of the second mankind makes no sense to the first mankind. Someone might be asking, "Do you mean that all I have to do as a new creation is make faith declarations? Yes.
But there is a catch, you also have to come into the consciousness of your divine nature. Understand that 1 John 3:9 says, "Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God." In other words, as you become conscious of who you are, you will realise that the internal software that allowed you to think, speak and act out of consistency with the New Creation (aka sin) no longer exists.
It doesn't matter who you are, it's a day to release life into your family, finances and business. Speak life to your community; your church; your social circle. You are a life-giving spirit, therefore give life.
Have a great day!
