Zoe – Part 1 (The Theology of Life) by Apostle Selman
Zoe – Part 1 (The Theology of Life) John 10:10 || Gilgal 2025 || The Transforming Church || Apostle Selman
Your knowledge must be wholesome for you to be victorious
Your stability in the kingdom is predicated upon the depth of your knowledge.
The Gospels:
- Matthew
- Mark
- Luke
- John
John 1:9-13 KJV
There Are Two Kinds Of Birth:
Anyone who must be in Christ must experience both
1. Physical or Natural or Biological Birth. John 3:4 KJV
2. Spiritual Birth or Rebirth (Being Born Again) John 3:3 KJV, John 3:5 KJV
John 3:1-7 KJV
It is a foundation for your excelling.
In Physical or Natural Birth:
– Your will was not part of the equation
– One person cannot bring it about.
– Natural Birth requires time
In Spiritual Birth:
– It is your will.
– You need the hearing of faith
The condition for believing, and that in believing in his name you will have life everlasting
– It happens instantly. Romans 10:13 KJV
The natural birth has a validity period or lifetime.
Anyone who must receive of this life must be born. Being born is the only way to have life.
The official gateway to accessing any kind of life is being born
The will or the desire of the individual does not play any role in natural birth. Romans 10:13 KJV
Without the concept of birth, there cannot be life.
When you are born again, you receive the power to become, you obtain that life that the Bible calls Zoe.
What is Life?
The quality that differentiates plants and animals from dead things
Any entity is alive to the degree that it manifests the quality of responsiveness, growth, metabolism, energy transformation, and reproduction.
1. Responsiveness – Anybody who is alive must respond
2. Growth – Qualities of growth, anything that is alive should normally grow
3. Metabolism – The entire quality process that turns food into energy and also growth in any organism
All life comes from God. John 1:3 KJV, Colossians 1:16 KJV
There Are Three Forms Of Life According To Scripture:
1. Bios – Physical Life. Luke 8:14 KJV
2. Sueka – Soulical Life, Being alive physiologically and being conscious of your environment. Matthew 16:25 KJV
3. Zoe Life – God’s divine life. God’s very life.
The life God gave us is not his kind of life, it’s his very life. 1 Corinthians 6:17 KJV
It is called supernatural uncreative and indestructible life
John 1:4 KJV, John 10:10
What is Zoe?
- Zoe is all of the components in God that upgrades an individual to rise to the God class.
Every component in God that sustains the ability to lift an ordinary person and he keeps rising like a plan until he matches the level that is equal to the God class.
It superimposes the ordinary life and keeps insisting that you rise until they look at you and look at God and there is no difference in terms of stature.
- An absolutely perfect and complete life without shortage or defect.
The final version, no upgrade.
When we become born again, we become possessors of this life that the Bible calls Zoe, the divine life.
What Does It Mean To Be Born Again (John 1:13-14 KJV)?
- To Be Born of God. John 1:13 KJV
– There is a translation, a switch of fatherhood
– The weakness in many believers is because they do not understand that being born again and who the Father is.

– You have received by reason of your oneness with the spirit, capacity to exhibit characteristics of spirits
– You are not just a normal human being, the ability of spirits can now find expression through you.
– Wisdom beyond your age, wisdom beyond your time, capacity, and the unlimited nature of spirits can now be at work in your life.
– The implication of being born by the spirit or of the spirit is that you are alive to spiritual things.
– You can manifest superhuman qualities like kindness like goodness like gentleness like joy in the midst of storms. John 3:8 KJV
The leadership of the Holy Spirit if allowed to gain supremacy over your life will turn you into an invincible individual - You Are Born Of The Word. 1 Peter 1:23 KJV
– You see the triune nature of God finding expression in your definition of being born again.
– The operation of the word is at work in your spirit
– The operation of the spirit is at work in your spirit

This is what it means to believe, it is what it means to receive, and this is what it means to be born again. - Romans 6:23 KJV
Ascendance is an elevation in consciousness and authority that is a direct product of understanding
If it is light indeed, there is a measure of ascendance in the spirit, and the goal is that your ascendance in experience parallels that which the Bible says has happened to you in prophecy, that you being to be elevated line upon line.
A Measure of Ascendance Through:

There Are Three Gifts That God Gave Man At Salvation:
This business of salvation and eternal life was something God actually planned
Ephesians 5:14 KJV
- Forgiveness of sin. Ephesians 1:7 KJV
- The Gift of Righteousness. Romans 5:17 KJV, 2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV
- The Life of God.
You cannot have eternal life until you are the righteousness of God.
Only the possessor of righteousness equal to that of God can have God’s life.
A sumisson of every component that upgrades man to the God class
Everything that upgrades man, fellowship, wisdom, intelligence, abundance, prosperity, power, health, vitality, longevity. Everything contained in God that can be transmuted in man to upgrade man to function in the God class is called life.
Matthew 6:21 KJV

There Are Two Principal Ways To Be Free:
- By The Agency Of A Mature Believer In The Name Of Jesus Separating You From That Spirit Influence

Light Elevates
The believer who does not grow is the one who deliverance will not profit.
Philippians 4:13 KJV, Psalm 18:29 KJV, Isaish 48:16 KJV, Luke 22:35 KJV, Mark 16:20 KJV
- Our Positional Advantage. Ephesians 2:6 KJV, Ephesians 1:21-23 KJV
You can be ordinary but not when you become born again, something has happened to you. You are one with Christ and you have been raised up.
Before you fear any spirit, verify its position
- Access To His Name. John 16:23-24 KJV, Colossians 3:17 KJV
The name is an office from which a man functions. Genesis 12:2 KJV
Realities are first finished in Christ, we call them prophetic realities.
Just because the realities are finished does not mean they are manifest yet
Matthew 6:10 KJV
The journey for sustaining eternal life, the life of God, and seeing to it that it is made manifest starts by holding fast your profession of faith. Hebrews 10:23 KJV
The starting point of your excelling as far as administering this eternal life is from your profession.
2 Corinthians 4:18 KJV, Joel 3:10 KJV, Psalm 107:2 KJV
Empowerment is a product of consciousness and it takes a while, there is a time component to the establishing of truth. Romans 12:2 KJV

The first law of liberty is acknowledging that which is finished. Philemon 1:6 KJV

- The Law of Faith
What causes the word to become flesh and dwell among us then we behold
God speaks to man like he is speaking to himself because he’s right, God is not speaking to unbelieve, he is speaking to his nature with you
Isaiah 8:20 KJV
There is a relationship between light and life, every time I speak light I am speaking life.
What you speak makes room for is establishment. Isaiah 3:10 KJV
Saying is the number 1 for conversion.
