Partakers of the Divine Nature

Preached by Apostle Sydney Quaye, the Global Lead Pastor of Shekinah Avenue Church. In “Partakers of the Divine Nature,” Apostle Sydney Quaye teaches from 2 Peter 1:1–4 that the believer has not only received salvation, but has been granted access to God’s very nature through exceeding great and precious promises. Christianity is not behavior management or religious effort; it is participation. By the righteousness of Christ, we have obtained like-precious faith and everything needed for life and godliness has already been deposited in us. God designed His nature to be revealed through man, and in Christ, believers have escaped corruption and are invited into partnership with His divine life. Apostle Sydney explains that God’s nature—especially power—is engaged through promises. These promises are not future hopes but fulfilled realities in Christ, releasing power to become, power to do, and power over opposition. Through examples from Peter, Joshua, Jeremiah, and the early church, he shows that believers are not waiting for power from heaven; power is already at work within. This message calls believers to stop making excuses, take God at His Word, and boldly live as partakers of the divine nature—crushing limitations, overcoming resistance, and fulfilling destiny through the power of God on the inside.
