CHRIST INSIDER✔️✅✔️

Colossians 2:6-10  As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power :


So today, I'm going to be talking about the motivation behind the Christian walk.
 What has been your motivation? What has been the motivation behind your christian walk? What is the motivation behind you going to church or leaving that bad habit? What is the reason you should stop going to that place that's totally against the will of God or your growth.  What should be the motivation behind letting go of certain things that are not of God?
People come up with philosophies and ideologies of how things should be done. As a result of guilt trip, some put away somethings and endup going back to them. This is because the motivation behind the initial actions were wrong.  Convictions and not guilt trips win people into closer walks with God.
As much as there are things that we shouldn't do, places that we shouldn't go, it's important that our motivation behind these things are not the fact that not making them disqualifies us from what Christ did.  Understanding the life we have been birth into is the reason we now make certain changes.
What Christ did was total.,complete;not needing anything else to be added or done.  The new life defines us as new creations which is the reason we do not do the things we *used* to do that isint a reflection of the new life.




The verse 7 of this scripture says '..rooted and built-up in Him and established in the faith...'
My motivation,your moltivation, our moltivation behind life is now Christ's finished works, haven been made an INSIDER 💯💯.
The motivation behind your change of actions and my change of attitude is the finished works of Christ. 

Phil. 2:12- Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. (KJV) 


Act. 17:28a- 'For in him we live, and move, and have our being;...'
I believe that this basic understanding strengthens our walk in Christ and we are not been 'bullied' or 'forced' or 'cajoled' into something that looks like a walk with God.

God loves you.
Grace.

Doors Do Open

Have you ever felt like you have exhausted all of your options and you can’t seem to find a way out?  Or you know that there is more that can be out of a case you are on? I can’t imagine what the widow whose husband left some debts for her to pay before he died must have gone through. Wait, you think all that happened is all there is. In the sense, you have pressed all your buttons and made all your moves. Knocked all the doors you know and made the calls. You now think its over. You think there’s no way out again? Be there! You seem to have forgotten so quick that God is the one that makes things happen. Look at the widow whose husband left her in debt. She was broke. No money no possession my sons up for sale kindof broke. Her two sons were going to be taken captive to pay for the debts that was on ground. Of course she was devastated. She had no possession to sell to get some money. The only thing she knew to do was to go meet Elisha who her husband served with. ...

Thankfulness

Life can get so boring,especially when you are fixed in a routine,and you're just at that point where all you want to do is break out. I mean,try out something out of the norm,like eat a different kind of food,or have a break from your stressful work,or simply get to see and relate with a whole new set of people. This was somewhat the case with the Israelites in Num11:31-35. Numbers 11:31-35- 31  Now a  wind went out from the  Lord , and it brought quail from the sea and left  them  fluttering near the camp, about a day’s journey on this side and about a day’s journey on the other side, all around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the ground.  32  And the people stayed up all that day, all night, and all the next day, and gathered the quail (he who gathered least gathered ten  homers); and they spread  them  out for themselves all around the camp.  33  But while the  meat  was  still between ...

God's Speakings.

 And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: – Genesis 26:2 Isaac was one of those bible characters that had a life patterned after the voice of God. He was about to leave where he was resident for another country because of the famine they were experiencing in the country where he resided. However, his plan was interrupted by God's voice. I'm intrigued by the fact that God specifically said He will tell him where to dwell. This challenges me because I've had this desire and still desire to have that "hearing relationship" with God. I see this and believe God wants all His loved children to actually have that kind of relationship with Him. God wants to tell everyone of His sons and daughters something, however, not everyone is going to hear Him because not everyone has trained themselves to do so. All the time, for all situations in our lives, the Lord is willing to tell us something. The questio...
