*Study scripture: * _1 Corinthians 15:47 -The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven._
*YOUR NEW NATURE. *
Before any of us became born again,we bore the image and the nature of men from the earth. Actually,many Christians still carry the prestige of God bowing down and touching the ground to make man out of the earth. But the man from earth is a lesser glory.
The man made from the earth is a very inferior man to the man from above. The first man Adam was manufactured from the earth and his glory was earthly. This means he was subject and a victim of the earthly terrestrial experiences.
The times and seasons,occurrences on the earth,weather,and everything on the earth had an effect on the first man whose image we had before being created. He could only effect things as far as the earthly realm.
The second man is a man from heaven after whose nature and image we have been born again. He is not affected by the occurrences of the earthly times and seasons inclusive of the policies and systems that govern the earthly realm.
As a born again,you ought to understand that the glory you have received through Jesus is a spiritual glory and your life is supposed to be patterned by the celestial experiences. The systems that govern this earth have no effect on you because you are not earthy.
You are born from above and have ascended above all principalities and powers. Anything of the earth has no effect on you. Continuously conform yourself to the image of Jesus Christ through his word for it is the reflection of the glory that makes you.
*Praise be to God!!!*

*Nugget: *
As a born again,you ought to understand that the glory you have received through Jesus is a spiritual glory and your life is supposed to be patterned by the celestial experiences. The systems that govern this earth have no effect on you because you are not earthy.
*Prayer: *
Thank you spirit of God for your word this morning. I thank you so much for opening my eyes to my new nature I am born of. I thank you that your grace enables me to know more of you have made me and I am changed into your very image everyday through your glory in the name of Jesus Christ.
*Amen*
