Preached by Apostle Sydney Quaye, the Global Lead Pastor of Shekinah Avenue Church. In “The Divine Nature,” Apostle Sydney Quaye teaches from 2 Peter 1:3–4 that salvation is not merely forgiveness of sins, but an invitation to participate in who God is. By divine power, God has already given us all things that pertain to life and godliness, and through His exceeding great and precious promises, believers are called to become partakers of the divine nature. This divine nature is God’s own life, light, holiness, power, wisdom, goodness, grace, mercy, love, and faithfulness now deposited within the believer. Christianity, therefore, is not striving to become something new, but engaging what God has already placed inside. Apostle Sydney explains that the promises of God function like access keys, activating what has already been deposited in us—just as bank tools give access to money already in an account. When believers discover and engage these promises, they begin to live from God’s nature instead of human weakness. This message emphasizes sonship as the power to become: because we are born of God, we have the right and ability to manifest God’s life in practical ways—health instead of sickness, wisdom instead of confusion, strength instead of weakness, and victory instead of fear. Like Father, like son, this teaching calls believers to stop negotiating with limitations and boldly live out the divine nature at work within them.
