Christ in me – The Spirit of Glory

“Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.” I Peter‬ ‭4:12-13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Sequoia trees are the 6th tallest trees in the world. Its average growth ranges between 150 and 300 feet. They live for over 3000 years . Its trunk has an average diameter of 20-26 feet in width. A mature giant sequoia tree produces seed cones with the size of each seed around 1 1/2 to 3 inch . These seeds can live upto 20 years .

But the most interesting fact is that these seed cones are activated by fire. The heat from the forest fire will dry out the outer cones and in a week or two it releases the seed which has a great potential to germinate and grow.

Likewise my beloved , when you go through fiery trials in life, challenges that press you against the wall, be assured that the seeds of greatness that are locked up in you begin to germinate and grow. The seed of promotion , the seed of prominence, the seed of dominion, the seed of great ability ,the seed of unusual favor begins to manifest , germinate and grow in you.

Be of good cheer my beloved ! Repeated medical reports that show no sign of improvement, may look like a fire trial but the seed of divine health is germinating in you.
You will become the epitome of health, vitality & youthfulness.

The Seed of all possibilities is in you! Christ in you is the Spirit of glory, causing this seed to germinate and grow through the means of fiery trials , bringing out the supernatural ability and wisdom that the world will marvel.
This week your hidden talents will emerge & you will excel in Jesus name ! Amen 🙏

God doesn’t define us by our mistakes but He refines us through our mistakes.

“This is the same Moses they had rejected with the words, ‘Who made you ruler and judge?’ He was sent to be their ruler and deliverer by God himself, through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭7:35‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Moses was rejected by his own people to be their deliverer when God had divinely destined & revealed to him that he would deliver his brethren from their slavery and bondage.

It was God’s will but it was not the right time yet because he didn’t understand the right way i.e God’s way of deliverance. As a result , Moses fled from Egypt when he killed an Egyptian, trying to defend his own countryman. He carried this guilt for 40 years . He was labelled as a murderer, traitor, coward & deceiver.
The world defined him as everything contrary to his calling . He carried this definition of the world for 40 sorrowful years & was frustrated as a failure . He thought it was all over. He messed up his life by one act of a rash behavior not understanding God’s way .
But God doesn’t define us by our mistakes, but He refines us through our mistakes.
This same Moses who was defined as a traitor, deceiver, coward , became the deliverer and the champion of champions who is highly exalted in the eyes of Israel till today .

My beloved , God has defined you as the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus forever. You are highly favoured by Him. His banner over you is love. This is your true identity. Don’t allow the world , not even yourself to define you . Accept and receive God’s view of you and you will see what God has promised come to fulfilment in His time in Jesus name!
Amen 🙏

All our sins of the past, present & future are completely forgiven once & forever at the Calvary!

Christ in me – The Spirit of Glory

“Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭9:26, 28‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The assurance that all my sins, whether past or present or future are all paid for by Jesus Christ & I am totally forgiven and made righteous forever is the secret behind my success story.Hallelujah!

We may wonder how all my future sins are also forgiven ! That is why the author of Hebrews writes clearly that, had this not been the absolute truth, Christ should have suffered again and again .

Christ came the first time into this world to die for all the sins of the entire humanity once & for all. He will come again gloriously not to bear our sins but to bring eternal salvation when our physical bodies will be completely transformed that can never be subject to sin, sickness and even death . What a glorious hope we have ! Hallelujah

If we struggle now with guilt and condemnation of what we did in the past, we haven’t come to terms with this divine truth of complete forgiveness and this misunderstanding results in all other problems in our lives.

My beloved , ALL your sins were completely borne by Jesus Christ & He has made you righteous forever. You are His most beloved & favorite child! He has accepted you the way you are, having forgiven all your sins . You need to forgive yourself by receiving His abundant grace and the gift of righteousness and keep confessing the same. Sooner or later you will discover the power of sin which grips you, leaving you & you will never be able to find it even if you look for it. Amen 🙏

Forget the past & reach toward the goal ahead!

Christ in me – The Spirit of Glory

“Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3:13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

We are not born perfect rather we are made perfect over a period of time. Mistakes do happen to all of us & we all mature & grow up into His image.

Yet it is our attitude towards the mistakes & blunders we had committed in the past that matters most.

Adam and Eve were told not to eat the fruit from the forbidden true. But, they went ahead to eat and felt so guilty that they hid themselves for they found themselves naked. They thought they would become wise instead they entered into a world of vices. They ran away from God, blaming each other & got into a wrong attitude. Instead of saying, “God, we got it wrong, we messed it up, please help us”, they started to give excuses & blamed each other .

My beloved, what matters most is our attitude when we make mistakes. Blaming the spouse, blaming the children, blaming our background, blaming the Government, blaming the boss, blaming the weather , even blaming God…..shows one’s poor attitude.
Apostle Paul said, “one thing I do, forgetting the past and reaching forward to the goal that is ahead”.
Stop blaming and receive the balm of God – Jesus Christ who heals the broken hearted. He erases you past. He gives a brand new start – where New creation emerges & the old things have passed away.
Make Jesus your Righteousness and He will make all your wrongs right. Path of righteousness is a straight way, the Right Way where you are accelerated to excellence beyond imagination Amen 🙏

All that matters is trusting Him & resting in Him eventhough we don’t see !

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6-7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
“casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” I Peter‬ ‭5:7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The verse above infers that there is no reason why you should be anxious or worried since God is in absolute control and He cares for you and loves you the way you are.
He is so mindful of you that not a moment passes by that He doesn’t think of you.

God never designed you to be anxious. He fashioned you to be joyful moment by moment. The apostle Paul teaches us how not to worry – speak to God in prayer, submit your requests and supplications to Him with thanksgiving and then the first thing you will experience is His unfathomable peace that works like a shield all around you.

This is possible when you know what is your true identity – “You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus”. When you pray to God to deal with your anxiety , Christ is you manifests as peace surpassing all understanding.

Christ in you takes you from the position of
“a matter of concern in the present situation , with the given facts (what you see)” to a position of “realising the truth ( God is already in control and has already addressed the issue)”. Its a matter of trust and rest though you don’t see! Amen 🙏

Cast all your cares upon Him because He cares for you!

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6-7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

God doesn’t want you to be stressed and worried. He has a solution to every problem you go through & He wants you to release those concerns of your life to Him because He cares for you.

Bottling up your cares and worries is not the way out. Expressing them to God in prayer and thanking Him causes His peace to reign in your life . Exchange your negativity with His peace! Negativities like worry & fear occupy space in your life that deprives you from reaching your full God given potential.

My beloved , this day God is filling you with good things, restoring your days back to youthful days ( Psalm 103:5). You are going to be more productive than you have ever imagined. Just allow Him to usher in His peace that surpasses all understanding by letting go of all your concerns about your future, job, child’s education,finances, health, family etc. Jesus is your Righteousness who makes all your wrongs right, because He has plans to prosper you, not to harm you & to give you a future & an expected end ! Hallelujah !!Amen 🙏

Learn to let go believing that God has the very best reserved for you which no one can ever steal from you!

Grace for you today !
Christ in me – The Spirit of Glory

“Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;”
‭‭I Peter‬ ‭1:13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

When you pray to God , any of the four mentioned below could be the answer :
1. Yes
2. No
3. Wait , it is not the right time yet
4. Yes, but not the way you think

My beloved, disappointments and hurts can arise when we aren’t willing to accept 2/3/4 of the above as the answer.
We aren’t willing to accept “No” for an answer, not realising that God has something far better than what we desire or deserve.
Bitterness can spring up when someone is preferred before me, when God is actually working something more wonderful for me in the background and we aren’t willing to wait.
The fourth one is still more complex. God says yes but not the way we think! This could be mind blowing & it calls for a mind renewal and transformation.
When Moses was 40, it came to his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel to deliver them from their slavery and usher them to their God given destiny. He killed an Egyptian to deliver an Israelite. “For he supposed that his brethren would have understood that God would deliver them by his hand, but they did not understand.”‭‭Acts‬ ‭7:25‬ ‭.
The issue was that he did not understand the way God would use him to deliver. It took another 40 years to unwind his mind and allow God to reprogram his mind for the great task.

Yes my beloved, no one can steal the blessing on which your name is written by God Himself . Learn to let go and release your past and receive fresh grace for today. Be mentally geared up to receive what He has for you this day. His choice is the best & We can never ever better His best! Amen 🙏

Being established in righteousness of God is to hold on the confession even when the tides are contrary!

Grace for you today !
Christ in me – The Spirit of Glory

“Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.””
‭‭Daniel‬ ‭3:16-18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Fiery trials, tests & persecutions are the means for us to prove to the world who our God is! Many a times, we wish and expect God to prove who He is especially to those who trouble us. In our frustration, we speak words which are unparliamentary or may even curse saying, “God will punish you or God will not spare you or God will deal with you”.
But when our faith is tested, the onus lies on us to prove who our God is. This is what Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego did. They made two very powerful statements before their ruthless king.
1. “Our God whom we serve is well able to save us from this burning fiery furnace.
2. Even if He doesn’t save us, still He is our God and we will not serve any other God.”
It’s absolutely awesome!!

My beloved , we all wish that our God should show up and prove Himself during our trying times. However, are we willing to let go our expectation and still hold on to our integrity?
Can I accept when others are preferred before me even though I am next in seniority and rest my case with God who judges righteously ?
“Whether promotion or no promotion, I will continue to serve Him and be faithful in the place of work for He is my shield and my exceeding great reward.” – Is this my strong conviction, steadfast resolution & immovable stance during trials?

I’m the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus is confessed not only when we want to experience instant relief or blessing but also when the tides are against & provocation is at its peak & I desperately expect God to help me to hold my tongue allowing Him to work so that the latter glory will be greater than the former in Jesus name . Amen 🙏

One thing we need to seek in life – JESUS! To behold His beauty & inquire of Him !!

10th August 2022
Grace for you today !
Christ in me – The Spirit of Glory

“One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple. For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27:4-5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

It’s easy to dwell with God but we allow the fears to swell in us that distances us from the love of God. Its easy to rest our case with God but we allow our minds to be stressed on various issues.

God always shows us the easier path in life, yet we allow worries ,fears, hurts & disappointments to clutter our minds that deprives us of peace & hinders our progress in life.
The Psalmist had a clear roadmap for his life. He just had one focus in life which was to spend time with God, to be with Him all alone as the top most priority when he started each day. This focus was to behold the beauty of Jesus & it resulted in the swelling up his faith
and secondly, to inquire of God concerning pressing issues of his life, as a result he allowed his mind to be uncluttered and hope to rise.

My beloved , the Psalmist shares his experience of this undivided focus to spend quality time with the Holy Spirit that made God to insulate him during his times of trouble. Therefore, no shocks , no unpleasant surprises, no sudden terror could ever disturb him and the progress he made in life was evident. God set him on high! He saw health, promotion, increment , bonuses, prosperity & unparalleled blessings. Hallelujah!
Let’s follow the Psalmist in seeking this one thing in life. Amen 🙏

The Lord is my light & my salvation! Whom shall I fear ?

Grace for you today !
Christ in me – The Spirit of Glory

“The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war may rise against me, In this I will be confident.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27:1, 3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

When Jesus is your light and your Saviour, surely you will have every reason to believe that you are always above every storm that comes your way.

It may seem that you are all alone and the rest have joined hands together like an army against you , yet the Spirit ( of Glory) will raise up a standard against them ( Isaiah 59:19).

His banner over you is His love for you . God has placed a large hoarding upon you stating your name in Capital letters followed by, “ ….MY FAVOURITE CHILD IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED”. Hallelujah!
This was the confidence the Psalmist had and therefore he wasn’t afraid of the enemy.

Yes my beloved, this same God who manifested in David , will likewise be in you as well . Remember, Jesus has become your righteousness!

When you know that you are tested and tried, just confess, “ JESUS MY T’SIDKENU . HE IS MY RIGHTEOUSNESS. I AM THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST”, you will experience the Saving Hands of Jesus , showing you the path of success, the righteous way because He is your light (The Light of the world). The net result is that you have emerged victorious – “Tested and proven”. Amen 🙏
