Teaching Note – The New Man in Christ Jesus

Preacher: Pastor Poju Oyemade
Church: Covenant Nation
Series: The New Man in Christ Jesus
Topic: The Battle of Identity

Introduction

The teaching continued on the subject of the new creature in Christ Jesus, with emphasis on what can be called the battle of identity.

This battle of identity is at the root of what is called spiritual warfare.

Christianity does not begin with God taking the same old man and teaching him better principles. The starting point of Christianity is that, when a person receives Christ, that person is born again and becomes a new creation.

The spirit of man — which is the real man — is recreated in Christ Jesus.

The New Creation in Christ

2 Corinthians 5:17

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

When a person is born again, a new spirit being comes into existence on the inside.

This new man is:

•Born of incorruptible seed
•Created in righteousness and true holiness
•God’s workmanship
•A completely new creation in Christ

Ephesians 4:24
1 Peter 1:23

There is no improvement God needs to make in the nature of the new man. The spirit man is created perfect in Christ.

The Spirit Is Recreated, Not the Soul

The new man lives inside the same body and still has a soul.

The soul is the organ through which the spirit expresses life in the body. It is where decisions, thoughts, emotions, memories, and responses are processed.

However, the soul did not get born again.

The soul has been programmed by the old man and must now be renewed.

Romans 12:2

“Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…”

Transformation happens as the soul is reprogrammed by the Word of God.

Born of the Spirit

Jesus explained this to Nicodemus.

John 3:6–7

“That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”

The new birth is not a rebirth of the flesh.
It is the birth of the spirit.

John 1:12–13

The new man is not born of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

This means the new man has no connection to the old bloodline. He is born directly of God.

The Battle of Two Identities

There is an identity in the flesh, and there is an identity in the spirit.

People may speak to a believer based on who they knew in the flesh. A believer may also continue to think and speak about himself based on the old man.

This is where the battle begins.

Words set limits in a person’s life.

If a person keeps speaking from the old identity, that person limits what can be expressed through the new man in Christ.

The believer must stop speaking from past limitations and start speaking from the reality of who he is in Christ.

The Power of Acknowledging the New Identity

Philemon 1:6

“That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.”

Faith becomes effective when every good thing in the believer in Christ is acknowledged.

The Holy Spirit opens the eyes of the believer to see the good things that now dwell within him in Christ.

Rebecca and the Two Sons

Genesis 25:22–23

Rebecca had two children struggling in her womb. When she inquired of the Lord, God revealed that two nations were within her, and that the elder would serve the younger.

This speaks prophetically of the flesh and the spirit.

The man born of the flesh is older.
The man born of the spirit is younger.
But the flesh must serve the spirit.

The spiritual identity is stronger than the natural identity.

Jesus and the Battle of Identity

Jesus also faced this battle.

In the natural, people saw Him as the son of Joseph.

Luke 4:22

“Is not this Joseph’s son?”

John 6:42

“Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know?”

But Jesus knew His true identity. He declared that He came down from heaven.

UNDERSTANDING TRUE DEPTH

2 Corinthians 11:3 (NKJV): “But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.”

One of the greatest weapons that the enemy attempts to use against the body of Christ is complexity.

Many have mistaken complexity for depth. They suppose that the more difficult a truth sounds, the more spiritual it must be. But this is not the way of God.

God does not complicate His truth to prove that it is genuine. He does not hide Christ behind unnecessary mystery in order to make the gospel appear profound. The wisdom of God may be deep, but it is not confusing. It may be weighty, but it is not complicated.

A man is not deep simply because he speaks deep things. A man is truly deep when, in the depth of what he speaks, he reveals the simplicity of Christ.

This is the mark of true spiritual understanding: that Christ becomes clearer, not more vague; nearer, not harder to reach.

We have not been called to present Christ in a way that makes Him more difficult to know or relate with. We have been called to reveal Him in the simplicity of His finished work, so that men may see what He has done, believe who they are in Him, and walk in the fullness of their inheritance. Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY: 1 John 4:17; Colossians 2:9-10

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this word. I refuse every deception that makes me think I am less than what You have made me in Christ. I am one with You. I am complete in Christ. I am a co-heir with Him and I carry His life, nature, and glory. It is by this truth that I live my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Pastor Poju said something today that struck deep  

“Many of you are carrying the identity that people give to you — and you are going to God with that identity,” He said. 

Think about that for a moment.

We've spent years collecting “narratives” from family, from failures, from people who were closest to us in the flesh. And Pastor Poju was clear: "The closer people are to you in the flesh, the more difficult they are with you in the spirit."

So whose voice are you carrying into your prayer life?Here's what the teaching settled in:

✅ "It's your spirit that got born again, not your flesh."
✅ "There can be no improvement upon the perfection of a new man in Christ."
✅ "The new man does not have a colour."

That last one is worth sitting with. Your spiritual identity has no tribe, no ethnicity, no past. It only has authority.

And that authority is activated by declaration, not silence.

"You don't get free from addiction by walking away from it, but by continuous declaration in a subtle way."

This is why Pastor said, “Have a continuous confession of your identity. Have a confession of your supremacy over Satan.”

Because it's not enough to know who you are theoretically. You have to build it.

"Your spiritual strength and your spiritual growth is directly proportional to the amount of time you spent alone."

"The majority of Christians don't know how to build strength."

And strength matters, because:

"It's your identity that really counts when you get to spiritual warfare."

"Losers cannot change anything. It's only winners that can change things."

Let me leave you with the two questions from today's teaching. Write them somewhere:

❓ “Which identity are you conscious of?”
❓ “Which identity are you constantly affirming?”

“It's what you choose to be identified with that matters."

The kingdom of God is not in democracy, it's about your identity. Choose wisely. Confess boldly.

HOW TO PRAY TO BREAK BARRIERS

1. PRAY WITH FOCUS
Avoid vague, scattered prayers that lack direction. Clearly identify the barrier you are facing and bring it before God with specificity.

Example: "Father, I bring before You the delay in my finances," or "Lord, I ask for breakthrough in the stagnation within my family."

Clarity in prayer creates targeted spiritual power. Undirected prayers rarely hit their mark.

Jeremiah 33:3 — "Call unto me and I will answer you."

2. PRAY WITH AUTHORITY
You are not approaching God as a helpless victim, but as His child who operates in the authority He has given.

Luke 10:19 — "I have given you authority."

Speak with conviction: "I command every barrier hindering my progress to be removed in Jesus’ name."

Breakthrough comes through exercising the authority Christ has granted, not through hesitation.

3. PRAY WITH PERSISTENCE
Some battles are not won in a single prayer. Consistency often matters more than intensity.

When you see no immediate change, do not stop—press deeper in prayer.

Luke 18:1 — "Men ought always to pray and not give up."

Breakthrough frequently comes right after the point where most people quit.

4. ADD FASTING WHEN NECESSARY
Certain barriers require more than routine prayer. Fasting disciplines the flesh and strengthens your spirit, creating greater spiritual alignment.

Fasting is not self-punishment; it is a deliberate act of seeking God with greater focus.

Matthew 17:21 — "This kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."

When prayer feels like pushing against resistance, fasting adds spiritual force.

5. PRAY THE WORD OF GOD
God’s Word carries power that human opinions do not. Use Scripture as the foundation of your prayers.

Declare His promises back to Him:
"Lord, Your Word says I shall be the head and not the tail."
"I stand on Your promise of breakthrough."

Heaven responds when we pray according to its own language.

6. PRAY WITH FAITH
Praying without expectation cancels the effectiveness of prayer. Faith is the confident assurance that God has heard and is responding.

Mark 11:24 — "Believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."

Pray as someone who knows the answer is already in motion.

7. BACK YOUR PRAYERS WITH RIGHT ACTION
Do not pray for open doors and remain passive. Take practical steps—apply, pursue, and act.

Faith without corresponding action remains incomplete.

Barriers are not broken by emotion alone. They are broken through alignment with God, consistent prayer, and intentional action.

Continue praying until you see a shift. And if nothing shifts immediately, keep praying until you yourself are shifted stronger, clearer, and ready for the breakthrough.

PRAYER
Father, I stand in Your presence with a heart set on breakthrough. Break every barrier standing against my life, family, and purpose. I receive the grace to pray with focus, authority, persistence, and faith. Strengthen me to stay consistent and obedient until I see Your hand move. I declare that no obstacle is greater than Your power. In Jesus’ name, Amen!🙏

Men,

Keep off women's activities and events,

Especially events organised by feminists.

Your fellow men are busy building the nation, while you are busy in the streets shouting,

"We want women's rights!"

Are you normal?

Don't be a mangina. Women will dislike you.

When the women finish marching, they will turn against you and call you a woman batterer, or one of them will accuse you of sexual assault.

ANDROID USERS, READ THIS!

Your phone says "Storage Full."
So you delete photos. Delete videos. Uninstall apps. Yet the storage barely moves.

That's because the real culprits aren't your photos or apps. it's the hidden junk Android quietly stores in the background

Here's how I cleaned my phone yesterday and recovered 35GB without deleting a single photo, video, app, or chat I actually use.

Here's exactly how I did it:

DON'T JOKE WITH EARLY MORNING PRAYERS

Do not enter a day you have not commanded.

The Bible says:

"Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place?" (Job 38:12)

This scripture reveals a powerful spiritual principle: a believer is not supposed to approach each day casually. Every day comes with opportunities, battles, decisions, and spiritual activities. Before you face men, you should face God. Before you engage the world, you should engage Heaven.

Many of us wake up, check our phones, scroll through social media, rush to prepare for work, take breakfast, and leave the house without spending time in prayer. We start our day reacting to circumstances instead of taking authority over them.

A child of God should not wake up in fear, confusion, or uncertainty. You have been given authority in Christ to speak over your day.

Command favor into your day.
Command divine protection into your day.
Command wisdom into your day.
Command open doors into your day.
Command victory over every plan of the enemy.

The enemy does not wait for you to arrive at work before planning attacks. Spiritual battles are often fought before they are manifested physically. That is why early morning prayer is not a religious routine; it is spiritual preparation.

Jesus Himself prioritized early morning prayer:

"Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed." (Mark 1:35)

If the Son of God saw the necessity of seeking the Father early in the morning, how much more should we?

When you pray in the morning:

- You dedicate your day to God.
- You receive direction and wisdom.
- You silence the voice of fear and anxiety.
- You activate God's promises over your life.
- You position yourself for divine opportunities.
- You frustrate the plans of the enemy.

Do not leave your house without prayer.

Pray before the phone calls.
Pray before the meetings.
Pray before the business transactions.
Pray before the interviews.
Pray before the journey.

Every morning is an opportunity to establish God's will over your life.

Wake up early.
Read the Word.
Worship.
Pray in the Spirit.
Declare God's promises.
Command your morning.

May your day obey the voice of the Lord.
May favor locate you.
May doors open for you.
May every trap of the enemy be exposed and destroyed.
May goodness and mercy follow you throughout the day.

Command your morning before the world speaks into it.
