IN HIM

Text : 2 Corinthians 5:21.

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Your true identity as a child of God is only found in Christ.

Christ who knew no sin was made sin for us so we can be made righteous in Him. Now, it will be anomaly for you not to be in Christ and still claim to be righteous in God.

Isaiah 64:6 says But we are all as an unclean thing, _and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Again, Romans 3:23 says *For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;* So it's clear that man in himself has no capacity to work out God's righteousness. 

However, if we are God's children, we are expected to be righteous as our Father (God) is righteous. 1 Peter 1:16. This is a feat that can only be achieved when you are in Christ.

To be in Christ is a full time occupation. IN HIM WE LIVE, WE MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING. Acts 17:28. That is, your life, your existence and all is done and lived inside Jesus Christ.

No one outside Christ can live a life pleasing to the Father. Jesus died to give you His life so you can give Him your life in exchange. 

For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.Colossians 3:3.

The big question is, Are you living in Him?

Is your life truly hidden in Christ?

Bible reading: Colossians 3:1-25.


PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, I hand over the totality of my life to you afresh and receive the live of Christ in me.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
