You already have Christ in you. But to put on the new man, the same Christ, means to live according to the patterns of God. That comes with divine knowledge of eternal life, spiritual responsibility and discipline with the help of the Spirit in you.
If you’re born again, you are no longer a slave but a son of God. Christ has come to redeem you from the state of corruption to a glorious state of grace.
You don’t need the whole world to know that good deed you did for others. No! God will reward your secret labours even if nobody congratulates you.
Have you ever extremely desired something from the Lord, which men think it’s impossible because of your infirmities? The heart’s desire is there, but people are saying “Shut up; that is impossible.” In such cases, what do you do? You’ve got to shout louder to Jesus.

You don’t need another spiritual blessing to be relevant in your generation. You are a blessing to generations already since you came to Christ. But its manifestation depends on you. Will you go to God to show you which strategy to use to bring the blessing to fruition?
You need the wisdom to build anything, be it ministry, business or any organisation, to last. And it’s by that need Jesus warns you to be as wise as a serpent.
