Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him. -Colossians 3:10(NLT)
BECOME LIKE YOUR CREATOR
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you are born again in Christ
You learn to live in your new life
Put on your new nature
Live on truth and you will mature.
Hunger for Jesus and you will know him
He will give you wisdom to overcome sin
Become like your creator who made you like him
Live a life that he planned for you so you can win.

When I became born again, putting on my new life was a challenge. I pushed through by the grace of God. There were layers of bad habits that needed to be confronted and covered in Jesus’ blood. I didn’t know spiritual warfare until the third year of my conversion as a renewed Christian. In the first three years of my life, as I moved to a new life, the enemy kept on stealing the seeds sown in my heart through God’s word. He used my past pains to pull me back and also used the people I am in relations with as open doors where he could visit me from time to time. As I meditated on God’s word day in and day out, I started to walk in God’s Spirit. He taught me how to take authority over the enemy and put on my new nature in Christ.

When you came to Christ, you were circumcised, but not by a physical procedure. Christ performed a spiritual circumcision -the cutting away of your sinful nature.
Colossians 2:11(NLT)
SPIRITUAL CIRCUMCISION
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you came to Christ, you were given a new life
The sinful nature was cut away so you can live in the light
All forms of darkness have been removed and transformed
You were pulled out of bondage and a new person was formed.
You need not go back and forth to your old ways
God’s spirit will equip you and guide you each day
Remember to never look back but always press on
Keep your eyes on Jesus and you will be transformed.
________________________________________
In the old testament, Abraham made a covenant with God in Genesis 17. God required Abraham, his descendants and all the male among his household to be circumcised as a mark of the covenant between him and the family. When Christ died, all these changed. In 1 Corinthians 7:17-19, we are all called to continue to live in whatever situation the Lord has placed us when God first called us. For instance, a man who was circumcised before he became a believer should not try to reverse it and the man who was uncircumcised should not be circumcised now. Spiritual circumcision means that Christ cut away your sinful nature the minute you committed to him.
PRAYER
Thank you Lord for transforming me when I believed in you.
REFLECTION
What has God cut away in your old life the minute you were saved?
