Alternatively, we can title this work: “The Superman the devil doesn’t want us to become”.
Welcome again to another article. In this article, we examine the man that God wants us to become- The Superman.
Now this is not the Superman you watch on television or read in the comic books. This is God’s man.
But what does being a Superman mean? In the course of this article, we’ll find out.
Creation was Perfect
God created the world and saw that everything he made was perfect (Genesis 1:31); indeed it was. The sun, the moon and basically everything ever made was perfect for man.
But Adam’ deliberate action handed over the world to the hands of the devil. Nothing created ever remained the same.
Despite the treasonable offence committed by Adam, it was still in God’s heart to bring man back to him.
God sent his only begotten son to remedy the situation (Romans 5: 10) and set the captive man free from wickedness (the devil) (1John 5:19-20). Through the death of Christ man now has access to life again.
However, this world is corrupt and so is the natural body. It is subject to wear and tear as against what God had created.
God has also promised eternal life and a body free of corruption (1 Corinthians 15: 50-55).
Christians today are only but pilgrims on earth, they are in the world but not of the world.
The finished work of Christ, restores the broken relationship between God and man. No longer by the ashes of an heifer (Hebrews 9: 12-14).
Man now has direct access to God through his son (1 Timothy 2:5) and this comes with a lot of benefits. These enormous benefits are what sets the Christian apart from the unbeliever. They make him the Superman.
The Redemption Work
Christ came to the world to save man and set him free. He took our place and died so we could live again. His victory over the devil was our victory.
We are now to take our rightful place as children of God and claim our privileges. The devil over time has continued to work and make sure that man stays locked up in ignorance.
Realizing who you are in Christ gives you authority over the devil; this is what he doesn’t want.
The redemption work has been done by Christ, do not receive it in vain (2 Corinthians 6:1). We are meant to do away with the old man and his ways by repentance.
Accepting the finished work of Christ and trusting fully in God is the key to unlocking the life that God wants us to have.
Who is this Superman that God wants us to become?
A Superman is a master of circumstances. Having God as a father puts you ahead of the devil and his devices. You are given power to become sons of God.
You become master over sicknesses and diseases. This is not to say that you will no longer be afflicted. The devil will definitely attack you, but with God in you, you have all it takes to defeat him (Mathew 10: 1, Mark 16: 17-18 and Luke 9:1).
Your words are feared like the words of God and his promises becomes real in your life. Dear reader, do you see the importance of claiming your rightful place in God already?
A Superman is a faith-man. He trusts fully in the words of God, they become his footsteps.
Because of his trust in God, he knows that in hunger and in plenty, God is always with him (Philippians 4:12).
This quality makes him always a cheerful and delightful person. The joy that comes with being a true Christian cannot be compared to what the world gives (John 7:38).
A Superman is a man like Christ.
Christ is the perfect model of every true Christian. Today, if you ask anyone who a Christian is, almost everyone will say: “a Christ-like person”.
A true Christian is a Superman as well. He is like Christ in every way. Just as Christ was a master of circumstances, we too are masters of circumstances.
Remember, we are going to do even greater works than Christ (John 5: 20).
As a Christian, underestimating the power of God in you is equivalent to undermining the work of redemption.
God is still doing great things in the lives of men today. Dear reader, If you are a fainting Christian, you must wake up and know the worth of God’s nature in a believer.
If you are not yet a Christian, hopefully this will help you make a choice. Time waits for no man.
That is all for now dear reader. I would like to see your comments and contributions below. Thank you.
