*TOPIC: BORN FROM ABOVE*

*TEXT: John 3:2-3 (MSG)*
_Late one night he visited Jesus and said, “Rabbi, we all know you’re a teacher straight from God. No one could do all the God-pointing, God-revealing acts you do if God weren’t in on it.” Jesus said, “You’re absolutely right. Take it from me: Unless a person is born from above, it’s not possible to see what I’m pointing to — to God’s kingdom.”_

*LESSONS*
Anything done by the kingdom of God on earth is called a miracle and is supernatural. So,when this jewish sage was asking Jesus the secret of the acts ,he pointed his attention to the kingdom of God which he represented. This is the manifestation of the kingdom through me, he declared. No one can get to the kingdom any other way than being born again.The subject of being born again is accepted by some and rejected by others but that is the only way to kingdom citizenship.

Jesus said,this is the way to walk in the supernatural. Life of the kingdom is lived by grace which is the kingdom currency on the earth. Faith in the kingdom will make grace available. When you exercise faith in the kingdom you represent, you choose to live as an ambassador rather than joining what is going on in the alien country you are. Then, you will receive the consignment of grace from your native nation which is the kingdom of God. As grace finds expression,then we will see the supernatural. Let us see the highlights of things that happen when we got born again:

_1. We are born by the Spirit( John 3:6):_ Whosoever is born of the Spirit is spirit.This means you become spiritually conscious. You can be well aware of the spirit world and you can transact in it. Just like you can go to the earthly market with some dollars to buy goods,you can transact with grace and command results supernaturally in the spiritual market because you are born of the Spirt ( John 3:8).Glory be to God!

*PRAYER ALERT*
Thank you father for the access I have through Christ.I confess that Christ is Lord so I receive a true transforming born again experience in the name of Jesus
