YOU HAVE ALL THINGS IN HIM: Daily Devotional

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).

The essence of Christianity, the glory and joy of all that Jesus came to is Christ in you. Christ in you is everything. Christ in you is Heaven in you; there is divinity in you. Now that you have Christ, you have everything. No wonder Paul said, "So let no man boast. For everything is yours” (1 Corinthians 3:21). Hallelujah!

Here is something remarkable to ponder: Romans 6:23 says, "...the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord." This is a fundamental truth of the gospel. However, as you progress in understanding the gospel, you will discover that Jesus does not really stand apart and give you eternal life; He Himself is Eternal Life. By giving you eternal life, he actually gave himself. Hallelujah.

The moment you accept this reality, it will change the way you think and pray. You would stop asking God for things. If it is true that you have Christ (and thank God you do), what do you need? Christ is everything, and everything is in Christ.

Stop asking God for what you already have in Christ.

For example, don't ask God for healing; take divine health, for it is your nature in Christ Jesus. The victorious life is yours in Christ. Everything you need for an extraordinary life of glory and righteousness is already yours in Christ (2 Peter 1:3).

Now you can understand why the Lord Jesus said in Luke 12:22, “…Do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor for the body, what shall you wear?” It is your sufficiency; in Him you have all things. Hallelujah!

What is the favor of God, and how can I get it? - Bible Teachings

The concept of the favor of God is found throughout the Bible, and it generally refers to God's kindness, grace, and blessings bestowed upon individuals. Here are some key teachings on the favor of God and how to attain it: 1. Seek God's Will: Proverbs 3:5-6 advises us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and not rely on our understanding. When we seek and align ourselves with God's will, we are more likely to receive His favor. 2. Humility: The Bible often emphasizes the importance of humility. In James 4:6, it is said that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. Humility opens the way for God's favor in our lives. 3. Faith: Hebrews 11:6 teaches that without faith, it's impossible to please God. Trusting in God's promises and having faith in His goodness can attract His favor. 4. Obedience: God's favor is often linked to obedience to His commandments. Deuteronomy 28:1-2 states that if we diligently obey the voice of the Lord, H

His Plans Are Good - Daily Devotional

Verse: Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Devotional: Today, let us take comfort in the assurance that our heavenly Father has plans for us, plans that are filled with goodness and hope. It's easy to become anxious or uncertain about the future, but God's Word reminds us that His intentions for our lives are nothing short of remarkable. In Jeremiah 29:11, we discover a promise that speaks directly to our hearts. God is not a distant observer of our lives; He is intimately involved, and His plans for us are purposeful. Even when circumstances appear challenging, we can trust that God's intentions are for our ultimate well-being. In times of uncertainty, we often question what the future holds. However, God invites us to place our trust in Him, the One who knows the end from the beginning. As we do so, we can find peace in the know

Walking By Faith - Daily Devotional

Verse: "For we walk by faith, not by sight." - 2 Corinthians 5:7 (ESV) Devotional: As Christians, our journey is one of faith. We are called to walk by faith, not by what we see or understand with our natural senses. This can be both a challenging and a rewarding path. Walking by faith means trusting in God's promises even when circumstances seem uncertain or difficult. It means believing that God's plan is greater than our understanding. Imagine walking in a dense fog, unable to see more than a few steps ahead. In life, we often face situations where we can't see the road ahead clearly. It's during these moments that our faith is put to the test. But just as a person walking in the fog relies on each step they take, we can rely on God with every step we take in our faith journey. The Bible tells us that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). It's like having a confident assurance in God's promises e
