YOU’RE A LIFE DISPENSER
(He Gave Us Life And Made Us Life-Givers)
TO THE BIBLE: John 10:10 AMPC
“The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).”
LET’S TALK
When we declare that, as Christians, we are more than mere humans, some may misunderstand and label it as heresy or the ‘little god’ syndrome. However, those who doubt our unity with the Lord lack a deep understanding of why Jesus came to this world. Let’s revisit our opening verse for clarity.
Jesus didn’t come to merely save us from sin; that was a means to an end. So, what did He come to do? He came to give us life and to bring us into fellowship with God. John 5:26 says, “For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.” Think about that: just as the Father has the fullness of life, so also Jesus Christ has the fullness of life; He’s not drawing life from the Father. Remember what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:45 NIV: “So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.” Jesus, the life-giving spirit, imparts the same life to us.
Therefore, just like Jesus, you’re a life-giving spirit. He gave us life and made us life-givers. Isn’t that amazing? When you show up, life is manifested—not in bits but in its fullness. No wonder Jesus charged us in Matthew 10:8, “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons….” When you touch the sick and the afflicted, the life in you is transferred and transmitted to them, bringing them healing, wholeness, and perfection.
The Bible says, “For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones” (Ephesians 5:30). Have you ever contemplated the significance of this statement? It means we are the very limbs of His body. In another of his letters to the Corinthian Church, Paul said, “…Do you not know that your body is the temple of the
Holy Spirit who is in you...” (1 Corinthians 6:19). In 1 Corinthians 12:27, the Bible says, “Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.” In other words, you’re the carrier of His divine essence. Eternal life is unveiled to others through you. Grasp the magnitude of this truth and walk in its reality.

Pray
Dear Father, I thank you for making me a life-distributor and a dispenser of your blessings. I am your outstretched arm to a hurting and dying world, to heal, bless, and deliver. I’m full of power, even by the Spirit of the Lord, and the glory of God is released into my world through me today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
