Verse

Luke 12:15 - 21 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

The Ashre Code - (The New Creation Man)

 


The New Creation Man is the Ashrē ha’ish—the man/person whose life is rightly ordered in Christ, restored to covenant alignment with God, and therefore living under divine favor, blessing, and fruitfulness.

He is not defined primarily by external success, moral striving, or religious performance, but by ontological alignment—his being is repositioned through new birth.


Core Definition

The New Creation Man is one who, having been born of God, now walks in restored order (tsedeq), lives under divine favor (ḥēn), operates in God’s spoken blessing (barukh), and therefore is rightly called Ashrē—favored, flourishing, and established in purpose.


Hebraic–Theological Breakdown

1. Ontological Change (Being before Doing)

The New Creation Man is not a repaired old man but a re-created man.

  • He is created anew in Christ, not merely forgiven.

  • His identity precedes his behavior.

  • Alignment comes from union, not effort.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
(2 Corinthians 5:17, KJV)

This new being is the foundation of Ashrē.


2. Restored Order (Tsaddiq Function)

In Hebraic thought, righteousness (tsedeq) means right order and right function.

The New Creation Man:

  • Thinks from heaven’s perspective

  • Walks in God’s ways

  • Functions according to divine design

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
(2 Corinthians 5:21, KJV)

Right order produces right outcomes—this is why Ashrē follows righteousness.


3. Covenant Favor (Ḥēn Carried, Not Chased)

The New Creation Man carries favor because he abides in relationship.

  • Favor flows from sonship, not striving

  • Grace is not permission to drift, but power to live aligned

“And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.”
(John 1:16, KJV)

This favor manifests as divine assistance, access, and acceleration.


4. Spoken and Empowering Blessing (Barukh)

God’s blessing in Scripture is performative—it releases capacity.

The New Creation Man is:

  • Empowered to be fruitful

  • Authorized to advance the Kingdom

  • Positioned to prosper in purpose

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.”
(Ephesians 1:3, KJV)

This blessing is not future—it is present position.


Ashrē as the Summary Verdict

In Hebrew theology, Ashrē is not a feeling—it is a divine assessment of a life correctly aligned.

Thus, the New Creation Man can be rightly described as:

Ashrē ha’ish
Favored is the man whose being, walk, and purpose are ordered under God through Christ.

This mirrors Psalm 1, now fulfilled in Christ:

  • Rooted

  • Fruitful

  • Prosperous in purpose

  • Stable in identity


Christological Fulfillment

Jesus is the perfect Ashrē Man, and the believer shares His life.

“Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
(Colossians 1:27, KJV)

Therefore:

  • What is true of Christ becomes true of the believer by union

  • The New Creation Man lives from indwelling life, not external law


Final One-Sentence Theological Definition

The New Creation Man is the Ashrē Man—reborn in Christ, restored to divine order, abiding in covenant favor, empowered by blessing, and established to bear fruit for the glory of God.


The Ashrē Code — Personal Declaration of the New Creation Man

I am Ashrē.
I am a man rightly ordered in Christ.

  1. I live from alignment, not striving.  (2 Corinthians 5:17)
    I am born of God; therefore my life flows from union, not effort.

  2. I walk in restored order. (2 Corinthians 5:21)
    Righteousness is my position, wisdom is my path, obedience is my joy.

  3. I carry favor; I do not chase it. (Psalm 5:12)
    Grace surrounds me because I abide in covenant relationship with God.

  4. I am empowered by blessing. (Ephesians 1:3)
    God has spoken well of me in Christ, and His word authorizes my fruitfulness.

  5. I am rooted and unshaken. (Psalm 1:3a)
    My life draws from living waters; I do not wither in drought or delay.

  6. I bear fruit in my season. (Psalm 1:3b; John 15:8)
    What I do prospers because it flows from God’s purpose, not ambition.

  7. I think from heaven, not from fear. (Romans 12:2)
    My mind is renewed; my judgments are spiritual; my vision is clear.

  8. I advance the Kingdom by my existence.  (Psalm 1:3c; Matthew 6:33)
    Light follows my steps, peace rests on my dwelling, life flows through my hands.

  9. I am not defined by the old man. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
    Old things have passed away; I live as God’s new creation.

  10. This is God’s verdict over my life. (Romans 8:31; Colossians 1:27)
    I agree with heaven’s assessment:

Ashrē ha’ish — blessed and favored is the man.
I am that man in Christ.



*This is not presumption; this is agreement with Scripture.

“Let God be true, but every man a liar.”
(Romans 3:4)

The Resurrected Life

 THE RESURRECTION LIFE


FROM THE GRAVE TO THE KINGDOM WITHIN**

Primary Theme:
Resurrection is not only a future event at the Second Coming—it is the
present life of Christ in the believer through the New Birth.


OPENING DECLARATION

Beloved, Christianity is not a religion of postponed life.
It is
resurrection life now.

Too many believers are waiting for the resurrection,
while the Bible declares
we are already raised.


I. MAN’S PROBLEM: DEAD WHILE LIVING

Before we talk about resurrection, we must define death.

Death in Scripture is not first physical—it is spiritual separation from God.

Ephesians 2:1 (KJV)

“And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

Man was alive physically, but dead spiritually.
That is why Jesus did not come merely to fix behavior—
He came to
raise the dead.


II. JESUS ANNOUNCED A PRESENT RESURRECTION

1. Resurrection Begins When the King Speaks

John 5:24–25 (KJV)

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.”

Jesus said “now is.”
Resurrection is not postponed—it is
proclaimed.

When a sinner believes, a resurrection takes place.


III. NEW BIRTH IS PARTICIPATION IN CHRIST’S RESURRECTION

2. We Were Buried—and We Were Raised

Colossians 2:12–13 (KJV)

“Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh,
hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;”

Salvation is not forgiveness alone—
It is
resurrection union.


3. Raised to Walk a New Kind of Life

Romans 6:4–5 (KJV)

“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death,
we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

Resurrection is not just about rising up later
It is about
walking differently now.


IV. CHRIST IS NOT ONLY RISEN—HE IS THE RESURRECTION

4. Resurrection Is a Person Living in You

John 11:25–26 (KJV)

“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.”

If Christ lives in you, resurrection lives in you.


5. The Same Spirit That Raised Jesus Lives in Us

Romans 8:10–11 (KJV)

“And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,
he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

That power is not waiting for heaven—
It is
dwelling inside the believer.


V. RESURRECTION PLACES US IN THE KINGDOM

6. Raised and Seated with Christ

Ephesians 2:4–6 (KJV)

“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Even when we were dead in sins,
hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

You cannot be seated unless you are first raised.


7. Translation into the Kingdom Is Present

Colossians 1:13 (KJV)

“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

The Kingdom is not entered by death—
It is entered by
resurrection life.


VI. THE CHRISTIAN LIFE IS RESURRECTION LIFE

8. Christ Lives His Life Through Us

Galatians 2:20 (KJV)

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”

Christianity is Christ expressing His resurrected life through human vessels.


9. Resurrection Produces a New Creation

2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

Resurrection creates a new species of humanity.


VII. FUTURE RESURRECTION IS THE COMPLETION, NOT THE START

10. We Have the Firstfruits Now

Romans 8:23 (KJV)

“And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

We are alive now—
We will be glorified later.


11. God Has an Order

1 Corinthians 15:22–23 (KJV)

“For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.”

Spirit first.
Body later.


CLOSING DECLARATION

Beloved,

  • You are not waiting to be raised
  • You are not trying to get life
  • You are living resurrection life now

Romans 6:11 (KJV)

“Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

📘 THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL

 

📘 THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL


🔹 THEME

“The Glory of the LORD: Departed Because of Sin, Restored by Grace.”

Ezekiel reveals that God’s glory is not confined to a temple or a land. Because of Israel’s sin, the glory of the LORD departs, but through repentance and divine grace, that same glory returns to a restored people.

Key Verse:
“And they shall know that I am the LORD.”
Ezekiel 36:23 (cf. repeated throughout the book)


🧭 SYNOPSIS

Ezekiel was both priest and prophet, taken captive to Babylon in 597 B.C. His ministry took place among the exiles by the river Chebar. Unlike Jeremiah (who prophesied in Jerusalem), Ezekiel preached to the captives, explaining why the exile happened and assuring them that God was not finished with Israel.

The book unfolds in three major movements:

  1. Judgment on Judah and Jerusalem

  2. Judgment on the Nations

  3. Restoration of Israel and the Return of God’s Glory

Ezekiel uses symbolic acts, vivid visions, and allegories to communicate God’s message. The book reaches its climax with the vision of dry bones coming to life and a new temple filled with God’s glory.


🧩 OUTLINE OF THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL

I. The Vision and Call of Ezekiel (Chapters 1–3)

  • 1 – Vision of the glory of God (the living creatures and wheels).

  • 2–3 – Ezekiel’s commission as a watchman to Israel.

“Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel.”Ezek. 3:17


II. Judgment on Judah and Jerusalem (Chapters 4–24)

  • 4–5 – Symbolic acts portraying Jerusalem’s siege.

  • 6–7 – Judgment for idolatry.

  • 8–11 – Vision of abominations in the Temple and departure of God’s glory.

  • 12–19 – Israel’s rebellion explained through parables and signs.

  • 20–23 – Israel’s history of unfaithfulness.

  • 24 – Final sign: death of Ezekiel’s wife symbolizes Jerusalem’s fall.


III. Judgment on the Surrounding Nations (Chapters 25–32)

  • Prophecies against Ammon, Moab, Edom, Philistia, Tyre, Sidon, and Egypt.

  • God shows His sovereignty over all nations—not Israel alone.

“Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also make thee a terror.”Ezek. 26:21


IV. Restoration and Hope for Israel (Chapters 33–48)

  • 33 – Ezekiel reaffirmed as watchman.

  • 34 – Condemnation of false shepherds; promise of the Good Shepherd.

  • 36 – New heart and new spirit promised.

  • 37 – Vision of the Valley of Dry Bones.

  • 38–39 – Gog and Magog defeated.

  • 40–48 – Vision of the restored Temple and the return of God’s glory.

“And the name of the city from that day shall be, THE LORD IS THERE.”Ezekiel 48:35


📖 SURVEY OF THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL

Judgment on Israel4–24Sin and accountabilityDeparture of God’s glory
Judgment on Nations25–32God’s sovereigntyJustice beyond Israel
Restoration & Hope33–48Renewal and future gloryNew life and new order

💡 KEY THEOLOGICAL INSIGHTS

1. The Glory of God

Ezekiel uniquely emphasizes God’s glory—mobile, sovereign, and holy.

“And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city…”Ezek. 11:23


2. Individual Responsibility

Each person is accountable before God.

“The soul that sinneth, it shall die.”Ezek. 18:4


3. The Watchman Principle

Spiritual leaders are accountable to warn God’s people.

“If thou dost not speak to warn the wicked… his blood will I require at thine hand.”Ezek. 3:18


4. The New Heart and New Spirit

God promises inward transformation, not mere outward reform.

“A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you.”Ezek. 36:26


5. Resurrection Life

The dry bones vision points to national restoration and spiritual resurrection.

“Behold, O my people, I will open your graves.”Ezek. 37:12


🌿 CHRIST IN THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL

  • The Son of Man – A title later used by Jesus more than any other (Ezekiel’s frequent designation).

  • The True Shepherd – Ezekiel 34 finds fulfillment in Christ (John 10).

  • The Giver of New Life – The new heart and Spirit fulfilled in the New Covenant (John 3; Acts 2).

  • The Temple of God – Christ and His Body (the Church) fulfill the temple imagery (John 2:19; Eph. 2:21).


🕯️ SUMMARY THOUGHT

Ezekiel assures us that sin drives away the presence of God, but repentance invites His glory back. What seems dead can live again. When God’s Spirit breathes, dry bones rise, and when His glory returns, everything is restored.
