I AM A GOD




“Every believer is an earthly representation of God – to rule and have dominion over all creations”. - Prophet Isaac K. Yirenkyi

1 Corinthians 3:23
‘…you are of Christ, and Christ is of God’.

What does it mean to be a ‘Christian’? A follower of Christ or a doer of Christ’s deeds? Reading the first chapter of Genesis, one would notice that before the creation of man, God saw the need for someone to take care and have authority over His creation. The Bible says in the book of Genesis 1:26-27 that God created man in His own image and likeness; after GOD (the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit – the Trinity) saw the need for someone to reason with.

Isaiah 1:18a 
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord 

From this scriptural revelation one can tell the reason for the creation of man. Man was never JUST created to fill a space on earth or to suffer, weep or struggle on earth as a slave. Man was primarily created to TAKE DOMINION over the creations of God, his Heavenly Father. Therefore, when Adam sold out his birth right to Satan, he lost that God-given personality/identity. That was why when God entered the garden in the cool of the day to have a discussion or a conversation with Adam, He (GOD) had to call out by asking where he (Adam) was. God could not notice His creation at that very moment because he (Adam) was now having on the personality/identity of the devil.

Genesis 3:8-9
Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”

For generations past, a saviour was promised through many great prophets. This came to pass when a virgin was impregnanted by the Holy Spirit, and gave birth to Jesus Christ. He was able to accomplish His mission – to unite God’s children back to HIM, with the help of the Holy Spirit. To many believers, Jesus was to take away the sins of the earth, (which is true); but He was primarly here on earth to reconcile us to our Heavenly Father by dying on the cross. 1 Corinthians 3:23 therefore teaches each believer that, when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and personal Saviour by believing with our heart and confessing with our mouth (Romans 10:9-10), we are not JUST being saved from the bondage of sin and being restored to our birth right; but, we are being RESTORED to our God-given personality/identity of righteousness which was stolen by the devil in the Garden of Eden.

For example, an ambassador in another country is the representation of his/her country and not his/her personality. If a Fanti from Ghana is selected to represent Ghana in Israel; no matter where he goes in Israel he is the representation of Ghana, not his tribe or region.

When countries such as America, Great Britain, Korea, Iran and others are mentioned, most countries tremble because of their supreme powers and weapons of mass destruction. So are the lives of many believers who have accepted Jesus Christ. We have become of Christ and Christ is of God; therefore we are ‘gods’ on earth. There is no way a chicken can ever birth a lion. Therefore as creations of God – created in HIS image and likeness, we are gods on this earth – with power to rule and subdue God’s creation. Believers are therefore not righteous by their deeds but through the deeds of Christ, who works through us. We are therefore seen by God through the eyes of Jesus’ personality/identity, which is of God ; and not our former evil personality/identity, which was of the devil. That is why the Bible says we are new creatures and the old things have passed away. We are new through the DELIVERING POWER in the NAME and BLOOD of Jesus.

2 Corinthians 5:17
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

It is therefore our Heavenly Father’s blood that flows through us physically and spiritually – cancelling every evil pronouncement, sickness, and seed of rejection, among other evil situations. The new creation identity carries no evil spells, curses, failures or negative pronouncement; we only enjoy His (God’s) everlasting SHALOM – Peace, prosperity, success, grace, favor, among other greater gifts. I AM A GOD on earth because my HEAVENLY FATHER is the ruler of the Heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1).

PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am of Christ, and Christ is of God. I am therefore representing my Heavenly Father on earth as a god. No power can ever have dominion over me in Jesus name. I subdue and rule over all evil powers in Jesus name. I declare prosperity, success, good health and the entire blessings in SHALOM on my path daily in Jesus name. I shall always be the head and never the tail. I command every closed door in my life to open. I am who God says I am in Jesus name.
