Is Christ In You?

Is Christ In You?

 

 

“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” (Col.1:27)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The person in you has great effect on your performance. Whether your potentials will be realized or not, depends to a large extent on who is in you. If Christ is in you, it means the Anointed One is in you. It also means the Baptizer in the Holy Spirit, the Fire Generator is in you. With the presence of Christ in you, there is greater power inside you. 1 John 4:4 says, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world”. Although the Greater One: The Lord Jesus Christ is the Almighty God, yet, inside some of His children, He is only a little seed which has no impact on them. If after receiving Christ, you refused to grow in His grace, He will remain a seed in you. As long as Jesus is not growing in you, He is limited in your life. In that limited state, your external enemies would appear bigger and in control. To take charge of your situation, you must daily make efforts to grow in the grace of Jesus Christ. Grow in His Word. Fill yourself with the Scriptures. Regularly attract His presence and be a carrier of it.

If those around you find it difficult to identify you as Christian, it simply means that Jesus in you is still in His infancy. If Christ, the Anointed One, is the One inside you, He will surely manifest. You cannot hide the anointing. It will surely speak. Many believers are yet to exploit the possibilities of blessings inherent in Jesus Christ. Are you in that situation today? Wake up! It is time to grow the One inside you so as to take charge of the one outside. It took a young David carrying the Lord of Hosts on the inside of him to defeat the Goliath outside. Until Christ is fully formed in you, you may not see Him manifesting in His glory. His goodness and grace may remain a mystery. When He is fully formed in you, however, He will radiate through you and bring everything else under control. Is Christ formed in you?

 

Key Point: Christ needs to take His rightful place inside you in order for satan and his cohorts to accept their place under your feet. Make maximum room for Him in your life, now!

Read: 1 John 3:8–10

 

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Stay clear of rebellion. When unity is useless

 

 

“And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are” (John 17:11).

 

 

 

 

 

One thing that singled out Jesus and His disciples was their level of unity. They could accomplish so much together because of this virtue. However, from the Lord’s Prayer above, the Lord expressed His desire for His disciples to be united as He is with the Father, even after He would have left the scene. Any unity born out of the contrivance of man may not last. If you exclude God in your quest for unity, the centre will not hold. Whatever you are bringing together may part ways naturally. If you look at the unity that exists among God The Father, God The Son and God The Holy Spirit, you may find it incomprehensible. There is no record of disagreement in their relationship. They are so united that they can never be divided. There is nothing mortals or spirits can do to cause division in their midst. No wonder Jesus specifically asked for such heavenly unity to operate among His disciples! May Heaven’s unity operate in our midst! Amen!

There is power in unity but if people are united against God’s will. It will not stand. About 100 years after the floor, the earth had one language. Even though God wanted them to spread to different parts, they decided to stay together. Besides, under the leadership of Nimrod, they wanted to build a tower whose height would reach the sky. They were not repentant. They though God was confined to judging sin only through a flood. Their tower was to be their escape route from any future judgment for sin. As they built the city and the tower, they continued in their idolatry. When God came and saw what they were doing, and how united they were in achieving their evil goal, He brought confusion into their midst by multiplying their tongues and languages. As a result, they carried out His original plan for spreading across the globe. If you are united in sin, you cannot escape God’s judgment (Proverbs 11:21). Some agreements in the church of God are satanic. Some pastors or church leaders form camps and begin to pray against fellow leaders or camps. That is witchcraft! If what unites you with a group of believers is gossiping, you may be calling for the axe. Never unite with others to do something evil. It will backfire!

Uniting against God, His Word or His children erodes all the gains from unity as a powerful force. Stay clear of rebellion.

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Be Not Deceived, God Is Not Mocked: For Whatsoever A Man Soweth, That Shall He Also Reap (Gal.6:7)

Česky: Kříže - symbol utrpení Ježíše Krista a ...

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (Gal. 6:7)

“Sow Today” A Sermon By Pastor E. A Adeboye

Apart from telling people that our God is the ultimate leader, leaders must teach their members principles of God’s Kingdom, particularly on giving. Some pastors are shy in doing this for fear of having their intentions misrepresented. You are not the author of the Bible. Never keep kingdom truths from your people or else, you will deny them opportunities of being blessed. Galatians 6:7says it is what you sow that you will reap. At the time I became the General Overseer of the RCCG, we were among the poorest people on the face of the earth, because we hardly gave offerings in those days. Then, leaders did not want to teach on giving. The truth is that anyone who refuses to give may never be delivered from begging. If you have become a perpetual beggar, check yourself; it could be that you are defaulting in giving. Besides, the most favourable time to give is during a famine. As difficult as it may sound, sow in your famine season. From experience, I can safely say God is faithful to His Word as long as you act on it.

When we were about to roof the old auditorium, we had N 1,000.00 but needed N 16,000.00 more. Meanwhile, the dormitory being built by the area pastors had equally reached roofing level and they needed N 1,000.00. When the pastor came to ask me for N 1,000.00, I virtually chased him out. He ran out having not seen me in such a mood before. But then the Lord asked me to give him the N 1,000.00 I had. Reluctantly, I called him back and handed over the money. However, I felt I had returned to square one. While grumbling over this development, the Lord asked why I was grumbling, that, after all, there were two problems and I was used to solve one of them. Later that day, a woman came from Port-Harcourt saying that after collecting her rent, the Lord asked her to bring it to me. I prayed for her and she left. On opening the envelope, there was N 17,000.00 in it. If I had held back the N 1,000.00, I may not have received the N 17,000.00 I urgently needed. Are you holding back the seed that can release your harvest? Don’t be myopic! Look beyond your immediate need; see into the great harvest that is awaiting you and sow to release it.

That seed you are about to sow may be what you need to receive your turn around. Sow, again and again!

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Famine uplifts!

As bad as economy – based famine may appear, some are really blessings in disguise. One lesson here is that some famines are meant to add value to you and make you more relevant to your world.  One Bible character whose life was boosted by a famine was Isaac. Until the famine, there was nothing significant about his wealth and status. He could still pass off as an ordinary man. Then came famine! The gains during the dry period affected him so much that his life was never the same afterwards. His greatness and possessions so increased that he became the envy of everyone in the land of the Philistines. He became wealthier than a nation! The blessing and covenant of being a lender to nation was fulfilled in his life during a famine. Do you know that wealth far beyond your dreams can come to you during a famine?

Similarly, a famine can be God’s avenue for the fulfilment of pending prophecies or promises. Let us take Joseph as a case in point. For several years, Joseph wondered when God would fulfil His dreams of greatness. When the time came finally, God used an imminent seven-year famine period to move him from prison to the status of prime minister. Has God made you certain promises and you are wondering whether they will ever come to pass? If so, do not be afraid of famines as long as you are living to His pleasing. That famine could be the medium by which God intends to fulfil that pending prophecy in your life. Moreover, while famines take many down, some are lifted up. The same famine that impoverished Gerar, enriched Isaac. The same famine that impoverished the Egyptians and residents of neighbouring countries enriched Joseph and his family. From today, as others are going down in terms of reserves, wealth and relevance during famines, you will be going up. While others are begging for food around you, you will have more than enough to eat and to give out. Famines will work in your favour. Famines will become avenues to uncover your hidden talents for te benefit of mankind. Celebration is yours during famines from now on.

Prayer Point:  Dear Heavenly Father! As You used a famine to raise Joseph from being a nobody to a somebody, use the present famine situation to move me from being nobody into somebody, in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American, and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

God’s Testimonial

God’s Testimonial

 

“Henceforth I call you not servant; for the servant knows not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you” (John 15:15)

 

 

 

 

God testifies that you are the salt of the earth and the light of the world (Matthew 5:13-16). The testimony of a child of God is of great significance. Revelation 1:5-6 says we have been made kings and priests unto God. 1 Peter 2:9 says, “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous lights.” By divine appointment, every child of God is a priest of the King of kings, a saint and a holy person. He is peculiar – different. As salt of the earth, the believer arrests decay and preserves what is good. This is why corruption should not thrive anywhere a bona fide believer is. Are corrupt practices flourishing where you are? If yes, then you are not living as the salt of the earth that you are.

Long before refrigerators were invented, salt was used in preserving meat. It is able to keep flies at bay and therefore prevent infestation of maggots. If meat was already decaying, as soon as salt was introduced, that was the end to its decadence. In what ways have you lived up to God’s billing or testimony? Being called the “Light of the World” makes us the opposite of darkness. The entrance of light brings in shouts of jubilation, joy and life. Whenever there is light, you would be prompted to attend to tasks that were abandoned. To what extent have you affected people around you as salt or light?

In John 15:15, Jesus further calls us friends. it is a great honour to be introduced as the friend of Mr President how much more as the friend of the Most High God. You can be certain that all doors will fling open to you at the mention of that Name – JESUS. What God expects from you is that having called you with such precious names, He wants you to live up to what you are called so that, it can become your testimonial. Ask God for grace to live up to the worth of your names. It is when your life agrees with the name the Lord has called you that it becomes your testimonial.

Prayer Point: Dear Heavenly Father, empower Your church worldwide to live up to the gracious names she is called, in Jesus Christ Name I pray! Amen!

 

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!
