Understanding Your Divine Nature

By Kunle Prosper

Everyone born of God is ordained to be a partaker of the divine nature. This is the nature implanted to mankind as God breathed into him the breath of life during creation.
This nature is the reason why men have successfully walked like gods on the earth despite the devil.
It is the reason why men like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego walked through a burning fiery furnace without any scratch.
It is the reason why Daniel spent a night in the midst of super hungry lions without fallen a prey.
It is also the reason why the Lord Jesus touched a man full of leprosy and instead of contracting the disease; the man contacted healing virtue and was made whole.
What about Paul who got bitten by one of the most commonly adjudged poisonous snakes in the world and felt no hurt without saying any word of prayer?
These all proved that the divine nature is not a myth but an important reality of the kingdom of God.
However, no one can enjoy this nature until a good understanding of it is possessed.
It is the lack of understanding of this that has made many believers victims of sickness, disease, and different epidemics.
Your divine nature more than anything made it impossible for you to be a victim of whatever epidemics ravaging your world.
You are only permitted to see it with your eyes, but it is impossible for you to be a victim.
Understanding Your Divine Nature is written therefore to open your eyes to the knowledge of this nature of God in your being.
Through this book, you will discover why you a God over sickness, disease, failure, and all power of the devil.
You will realize why you can walk through fire and lions of this world and yet come out untouched.
You will also discover why no raging pandemic can hurt even a hair from your head.

This is no doubt the book that will catapult your Christian adventure beyond your wildest imagination.

Introduction

2 Peter 1:2-4 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

The understanding of the divine nature in every believer is perhaps one important thing now forgotten by the church of Christ.

This explained the reason why believers are not better than ordinary religious practitioners.

It is also the reason why Christianity has been reduced to nothing other than rituals and doctrines instead of a demonstration of the life and power of God.

Our world is being constantly ravaged by terrorism, deadly pandemic and untimely death.

Even in the midst of these, Christians are expected to live triumphantly above all forms of harassments. However, lack of a good understanding of the divine nature is a major impediment hindering many from accessing this far above position.

I have seen Pastors who supposed to be an example of Christ to their world being ravaged by epidemics and dying like unbelievers.

I have seen believers been dealt with all across the globe like people who never met the Lord.

At the same time, the pages of the scripture contain accounts of people who by the divine nature escaped the scourge of fire, walked free in the midst of terrible plaques, and passed the night unhurt in the lions’ den.

Has God changed?

Does it mean he no longer care for his elects as he used to do in those days?

It can only mean our dearth of knowledge of his nature in us made us vulnerable.

If a believer can possess a good knowledge of his divine nature, he can as well do what the saints in the pages of the scriptures did and experience the victory they experienced.

Yes, you can walk through the midst of raging pandemic and come out untouched!

It doesn’t matter what epidemic is ravaging the world. I don’t care whether it called Coronavirus, or Lassa fever, or Ebola.

It doesn’t matter also whether it is a viral or bacterial disease. You can walk through it without being a victim.

And this will be true only when you have a good knowledge of the divine nature you possess.

A lot of believers are confused, not knowing why it seems the scripture is not working for them.

I am convinced the reason is no other than your ignorance of the knowledge of how things supposed to work for your favour.

It is not God’s plan for you to be sick. Neither is it his plan for you to be a victim in the time of epidemics.

However, you must understand your divine nature if this will become your portion.

Many are those who are quoting the scriptures but not according to knowledge. A good knowledge of the workings of God’s nature in you is needed if your confession will lead to profiting.

It is because of this the Holy Spirit inspired me to write this book.

From the pages of this book, therefore, you will discover why you are not an ordinary person, if you’re born again.

You will understand why you cannot be sick like all others in your environ.

You will discover why the epidemics killing others are not permitted to lay their hands on you.

Don’t be tempted to think everybody is vulnerable. The fact that one pastor or a prophet in your locality died of an infection does not mean you should.

I like you to understand that in the same city where you are, there are believers who are living in victory over what many term impossible.

They didn’t get there by chance. They got there by the knowledge you are about to discover in this book.

I want to assure you by the Holy Spirit that as you discover the truth concerning your divine nature, you will also live above every sickness and disease and remain unhurt in the journey of life.

It is therefore important for you to bow your head and talk to God. Tell him to open your eyes of understanding, to discover the hidden truth meant for your liberty in this book.

It is my prayer that through the pages of this book, you will locate the word meant for your peace so you can live above all harassments of the devil now and forever. Amen.

Chapter One

                      The Reality of the Divine Nature

Heb 11:32-34 ¶ And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

The pages of the scripture are filled with men and women who through the instrumentality of knowledge and other forces of the kingdom accessed the divine nature in them.

As a result of this access, they brought unimaginable things to reality in their lives. By their actions, the superiority of the divine nature over sickness, disease, and all contrary situations of life were established.

I will attempt to mention a few of these men in this chapter.

The bible talked about Enoch; the first man to walk perfectly with God after the fall. This enabled him to access the divine nature resulting in his transition into glory without physical death.

Gen 5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

He became the first man in history of the universe to escape the cold hand of death.

Noah was a man who also enjoyed the divine nature.

He lived to witness a generation wiped off by the first pandemic which came in the form of a flood. The entire men and women in his world were consumed while the man and his family were preserved.

He built the ark through which the salvation of his family was established amidst the mockery of people in his generation. As a result of this, he became an heir of righteousness.

Heb 11: 7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

Abraham also accessed the divine nature and became a father when he was past the child bearing age.

His wife also lost all the fertility needed to conceive being about ninety years old. Yet, Isaac came forth after waiting for twenty-five years.

What about the children of Israel in the land of Goshen who by the reason of their access to the divine nature escaped different types of plagues that befell their hosts?

We would consider each of these accounts in details as we proceed in this book.

However, I would like to examine two prominent cases to establish the power of the divine nature.

The first incidence involved the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the divine nature in person.

There was a time in his earthly ministry when he met with a leper.

Leprosy is a contagious disease that affects the skin, mucous membranes, and nerves, causing discoloration and lumps on the skin and, in severe cases, disfigurement and deformities.

In the Law of Moses, therefore, the disease is an example of ailments characterized as unclean.

Lev 13:1-3 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,

2 When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:

3 And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and when the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.

And because of this, whatever touches the body of a leper is declared unclean.

Anything ranging from a building, to a garment, tools, and so on can be made unclean for having any contact with a leper.

As a result of this, a leper is only permitted to live outside the camp to prevent people contracting the disease or simply becoming unclean.

However, by virtue of the divine nature, the Lord Jesus met with a leper and without minding being declared as unclean or contracting the highly contagious disease; he placed his hand on him.

Come with me as we examine the scripture together.

Mark 1:39-41 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.

40 ¶ And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

43 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;

44 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

As soon as Jesus Christ touched this leper, the bible says the leprosy departed from him.

This is one of the most important facts about the divine nature. It operates a law similar to the law of diffusion in the natural.

In this law, molecules are permitted to move only from higher concentration to the lower.

In the same way, when a man with the divine nature touches another person, the carrier of the divine nature becomes a body with higher concentration. Virtues can only move from him to the person without the nature and not vice versa.

It is this understanding that formed the basis through which Jesus could lay hands on the leper without any hesitation.

Jesus never fears the possibility of contracting the disease or becoming unclean. The divine nature he carried was enough guarantees to ensure his safety.

As he touched the leper therefore, the divine nature in him flowed from his body to that of the sick, and he was healed of leprosy immediately.

Don’t be tempted to accept that this happened because it was Jesus.

Everyone born of God automatically carries the divine nature through which this becomes a possibility.

This is the reason why every believer is commanded to lay hands on the sick and get them recovered.

Mark 16:17-18 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

The bible didn’t say you should lay hands on the sick who are not plagued with contagious disease. Rather, it says all the sick, both communicable and incommunicable disease included.

The reality of the divine nature forbids you from contracting disease even when you have any contact with the sick.

Virtues are only permitted to flow from you to the sick and not from the sick to your body.

The early apostles never contracted any disease as much as they went working this instruction given to them.

By the election of grace, I have also been privileged to lay hands on all forms of sickness and disease, including the highly contagious ones.

The understanding of my divine nature has always ensured that I am ever a victor instead of being a victim.

This same is true for everyone who understands the nature of God in his being.

There is also an incidence that happened to Paul the Apostle as he was being taken as a prisoner to Rome.

Acts 28:1-6 ¶ And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.

2 And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

4 And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.

5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

6 Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

Paul and the entire people in his voyage have just escaped a furious tempest called Euroclydon, which troubled their ship for fourteen days.

They managed to escape to the land in an island called Melita.

As they were breathing a sigh of relief, a highly poisonous viper came from nowhere, bit and fastened itself on his hand.

When the native of the island realized what happened, it became easy for them to conclude Paul was a hardened criminal who retribution wouldn’t allow to live.

They opined that he managed to escape death by the sea probably sent by some gods as punishment for his sin but the same gods sent this venomous viper to complete his sentence.

However, they waited for him to fall down, swell up and die due to the venom of the snake only to find out hours after the incidence that nothing happened to him.

They instantly changed their opinion and concluded that he must be a god and not human.

Little did these barbarians know that Paul wasn’t a god as they supposed, but a man who by privilege of understanding had access to his divine nature.

Paul didn’t go on his knee fasting and praying that no harm should come on him by reason of the snake venom; he simply continued his business as if nothing ever happened.

This proves therefore that anyone with a good understanding of this nature can walk free from every contrary situation of sickness, disease, epidemics and whatever is known as natural disaster.

You can touch the sick and not be infected with his contagious disease.

You can also be exposed to a virus and yet, never become a victim.

The reason behind this is not far-fetched; the one who lives in you right now is greater than the one in the world.

1John 4:4 ¶ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

I don’t care whatever epidemic is ravaging your world.

As soon as the understanding of your divine nature dawn on you, it is certain you will walk out of everyone without any hair fallen from your head.

Friend, you are not supposed to be a victim of sickness, disease or any global pandemic. It doesn’t matter how many people are fallen victims in your
