He that comes from above is above all. – Joh 3:31
We’re
supernatural by nature. And that fact implies we are above nature – in the
literal sense of the word. The prefix “Super-” is taken directly from the Latin
word super which means “over” or
“above”. So, when we say the Born Again Christian is supernatural, it means he
or she is above natural. (SELAH?).
John the
Baptist, explaining this concept in John 3:31, says, “He that comes from above is above all: he that is of the earth is
earthly, and speaks of the earth: he that comes from heaven is above all.”
While he
was directly referring to Jesus here, the truth is universally applicable;
whoever comes from Heaven is above all. Jesus said in John 8:23, “You are from beneath; I am from above: you
are of this world; I am not of this world.” But in John 17:14 He prays, “I have given them your word; and the world
has hated them, because they are not of
the world, even as I am not of the world.”
We and
Christ are not of this world; we and Christ are from above; thus we and Christ
are above all. That means we’re above the world’s systems and philosophy; and
we’re above the world’s patterns and methodologies.
We may live
in this world, but we are NOT of this world. A believer should not be heard
saying, “It’s flu season”. No! A believer should not be heard saying “we’re in
a recession” No!
It doesn’t
mean a Believer should live in denial, it only means the Believer should be
conscious of his or her true nature and origin. You must have heard of Clark
Kent. Clark Kent was never sick. Clark Kent never panicked when disaster
struck. Why? Because innocent-looking, bespectacled journalist of a guy Clark
Kent is actually Superman!
Nevertheless,
while Kent is a fictional DC Comics character, we have a real, literal SUPERman/SUPERwoman reading this piece right now.
Sure, you may look 'normal' to people around you. But Beloved, when it's time
for business, you need to take those glasses off, and let the true you face the
situation.
Let’s read
our anchor verse again from the Amplified version; this time with the
consciousness that it’s also referring to YOU:
“He Who comes from
above (heaven) is [far] above all [others]; he who comes from the earth belongs
to the earth, and talks the language of earth [his words are from an earthly
standpoint]. He Who comes from heaven is [far] above all others [far superior
to all others in prominence and in excellence].”
HALLELUJAH!
More Blessings await
you today; you’ll not miss them in Jesus’ Name.
