Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new (2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV).
From the above scripture, it is without a doubt that every man who's born again has now become a New Creation.
What is being referred to here is not a man who's been restored or improved, but a completely NEW man. This is the man in Christ and he is called The New Superman.
There is nothing ordinary about God. He is the God of the miraculous and the supernatural. 1 John 3:1 reads, "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God...." We are the sons of God. This means that God gave birth to us — miraculous and supernatural creatures.
When you said yes to Jesus and became born again, a new type of life was imparted into your Spirit. This life is eternal life — the very life and nature of God. This life sets you apart from the world. This is what makes you superhuman.
Your old human birth comes from blood, but your new birth in Christ comes from the incorruptible and flawless Word of God (1 Peter 1:23). This makes you incorruptible and flawless. Hallelujah!
The Apostle Paul understood and lived in this reality. This reality was his daily experience such that when he was bit by a venomous viper, he just shook it off and did not die as the people of the Island of Malta had expected. They had concluded after witnessing this that he was a god (Acts 28:1-6). The Apostle had the revelation of this New Superman. He knew and understood that he had the incorruptible life of God flowing in every fibre of his being.
The people of Matla were indeed not wrong in their conclusion of the Apostle Paul being a god. Psalm 82:6 reads, "...I have said, Ye are gods; all of you are children of the Most High." This is a description of who you are in Christ. All you need to do is to acknowledge and walk in this reality of truth.
More gloriously, as the New Superman, you are God's workmanship (Ephesians 2:10) and Deuteronomy 32:4 informs us that God's work is perfect. This means that everything and anything that concerns your health, finances, business, family, church or cell group is perfect. There are no flaws in any area of your life. Understand that this is the life that God prepared for you from the beginning of time. It is your choice and responsibility to function in it.
The New Superman is the only creature with the life and nature of God. You have been called to walk in this newness of life (Romans 6:4). Thus, you are expected to function, speak, think and act as one who is born of God. You have the become the mobile Living Word of God.
1 John 5:13 says, "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." More than anything, it is God's desire for His children to come to the knowledge and understanding this reality of truth, because if they don't they may never walk in it.
This is why we preach the Gospel and win souls with so much passion; so God's children may walk in His perfect will for their lives and function as the New Superman that they are.
Prayer:
Dear Father, thank you for the divine knowledge of your Word in my Spirit. I'm not an ordinary man, but a new superman in Christ Jesus. I live far above all principalities and the powers of the darkness of this world and I reign in life as a king, in Jesus' name. Amen.
