ONE WITH CHRIST

                                                                      

“And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the first born from the dead; that in all things he might have preeminence.” Colossians1:18.

LIGHT FOR THE NOW: You and Christ are one; one body one spirit

Christ is the head of the church and you are the church which is His body. So, Christ and His church are one just as the head and the body are one. God sees Christ, the head, as perfect so also you, as His body,is perfect. In other words, you cannot assume that Christ is accepted by God and His body not accepted by Him! The measure of Jesus’ acceptance by God is the measure of your acceptance by God. So, it makes no sense to say that the head is well but the body sick, that the head is rich but the body in lack or that the head is at rest but body full of stress. Friends, what Jesus is before God, that is exactly who you are to the father. As Jesus Christ is, so are you in this world (1John 4:17).Today, God wants you to lay claim on Christ being your head. Start believing that by all His perfection, and the delight and joy that He brings to the Father’s heart, He has set your account – Jesus has put you right with God! And you will begin to realize that as Jesus is the sweet smelling savor to the Father, so are you.

The more you begin to see that you are one with Christ the more you become like Him. If you are sick in your body, Christ your head will impart His healing virtue to you. If you lack wisdom, Christ your head imparts His wisdom to you. If you lack anything, Christ your head will give you His exceeding riches. The Bible says; “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” (3John2). Christ as your head is the perfect will of the Father, so are you as His perfect body. In God’s perfect will, there is no sickness, poverty or death. So there should be no sickness, poverty or death traceable to you because you are God’s perfect will. The will of God is not abstract; the will of God in Christ is you. Therefore, if you are in Christ, you are the will of God. In the will of God, nothing gets missing, lacking, broken or spoil. You are one body, one soul and one spirit with Christ. Anyone that sees you sees Christ. You are not separated from Him. You move, live and have your being in Him. Let this rich mind-set and revelation be in you that Christ and you are one. You can never be separated from Christ your head from whom comes all the supply you need.

INSTRUCTION: Declare Christ now and become one with Him!

PRAYER:  Lord, I declare my oneness with Christ, in Jesus name!

QUOTE: The will of God is not abstract; the will of God in Christ is you.
