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. ...

Gods word as our reality

If anything would go through our spirit to our soul and then to reality,its going to pass through our mind. And if anything is going to have an impact on the spirit it would go through the mind. And so the mind is the place where a thing really is made or mared. It's where we either get an headway or remain stranded/on the same spot/can't see a way. It's the battlefield as it's often put. 2Cor.10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; This passage makes us to see that imaginations and thoughts have a way of exhausting themselves above the knowledge of God in our minds and we are the ones to do the job of making sure the word of God is the status quo of our mind...finding out what the word of God says and making it preeminence over and above any other thought. re-enforcing what the word of God says. Capturing God's idea(word) in ou...

Happy New Year.

It's good to write you for the first time in the new year. This time of the year when new decisions are made,new strategies,new resolutions and etc. Whilst all these are very good it's important not to forget what is most important  for the journey ahead. Moses, the superman assigned by God to lead Gods very own people was not about to do so without asking Gods presence to go with him. Exodus 33:15   And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. I want to point your attention to intentionally asking God to go with you into the year. He's always with you no doubt,however there is a side of God that walks with us and we experience when we ask Him to walk with us. James 4:8a NKJV- 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.  You're going to need God in everything you do this year and in as much as He has given us a promise of his presence; Pr.3: 6 says "In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths....
