APOSTLE EMMANUEL OSEZELE’S GOSPEL OUTREACH

MSRPM DAILY DIVINE INSPIRATION

THURSDAY 18TH APRIL 2024

TITLE: REGENERATED (PART 3)

KEY TEXT: Matthew 13:15 KJV: "For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."

As Mark 4:12 says, "Otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!" Only when one is able to see will he understand, and only when one understands will he be able to turn, that is, be "converted" (Matthew 13:15, KJV). If it is necessary to "see" before one has faith, and if the ability to "see" is only possible after regeneration (John 3:3), then naturally regeneration comes before faith.

To review, God has chosen a number of individuals to receive salvation. Christ came to this earth and paid the price of sin for these chosen ones. Each of the elect is summoned to believe the gospel at specific times appointed by God. However, since the elect are born sinners, there is present within them a strong disposition toward evil, which renders them unable and unwilling to respond. Therefore, God regenerates the elect sinners as he summons them, and places in each of them a new nature that is disposed toward God and righteousness. Thus regeneration is a MONERGISTIC work – it is a work of God that produces its effects without any cooperation from the one being saved.

John 1:12-13 refers to the monergistic nature of regeneration: "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God". The passage6 indicates that regeneration does not occur by belonging to a particular bloodline, nor does it occur by "human decision" (v. 13).

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, give me the grace to be born of God and of the spirit. O Lord, let my flesh desire fire and your Spirit guide me unto righteousness, in Jesus Christ’s mighty name. Amen.

REFLECTION: John 3:8 - "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit."
