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. Colossians
1:27
Some people
lament how they’ve done everything they know to do, yet their lives are still
at variance with the realities of God’s Word. They ask such questions as, “What
more should I do to prosper?” “What more should I do to be healed?” They’re
faced with these and other questions in their lives for which they seek
answers.
Now, I’ve got
something to tell you about this and it’s very important: One day, I was having
this wonderful fellowship with the Lord about the amazing things that the
prophets did in the Old Testament and the amazing abilities that He gave to His
children.
As I cogitated
on these things, looking through the Scriptures, I pondered, “What does God
want? What’s His plan? If we were to ask Him for anything, what should we ask
for?” Then, the Lord said to me, “Whatever good thing you could ever desire is
nothing compared to the ‘one thing needful,’ which you already have: Christ in
you!”
Christ in you
covers everything; it’s the biggest thing we got from God. Your recognition and
acknowledgement of this truth will stop your hunger and desire for anything
else; you’ll virtually find it foolish asking God for anything else. If you can
only accept that Christ has taken up His residence in the quarters of your heart,
it’ll change your life.
Everything that
He gives, is in Him. Everything that He is, is in Him. Remember, the fullness
of the Godhead—the totality of divinity—bodily dwells in Christ Jesus; and
we’re complete in Him. If this is true, then what else do you want? That’s why
Paul said, “All things are yours”; the world is yours (1 Corinthians 3:21-22).
Once you have
this consciousness, the world becomes so small to you. Your boldness becomes so
strong; you’ll have no fear of the future, no fear of darkness, failure or
lack; because in Him, you have, and you’ve overcome all things; you’re more
than a conqueror. Blessed be His Name forever!
CONFESSION
All things are
mine. I have a healthy, prosperous, vibrant and successful life, for Christ has
taken up His residence in the quarters of my heart. I have nothing to fear: no
fear of the future; no fear of the dark; no fear of failure, because Christ in
me is my assurance of a life of continuous triumph and eternal glory. Blessed
be God!
