Christ in You
Christ in You
How do you see Christ in You?
Preached by Apostle Aje Pelser, at the MBTC Graduation, Dec 2024
Col 1:27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Col 1:28 Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.
Col 1:29 To this end I also labour, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.
God sends someone to share the good news with you. It takes root and bears fruit.
It is the earth that enables the seed to grow and bear fruit.
Chase away the birds of air that steal your seed.
Remove the weeds that choke your faith in the Word, the cares of this life and the deceitfulness of riches. The desire of other things chokes and stunts growth.
Make Jesus the joy of your desire.
Remove the heart of stone that prevents your roots from growing deeper and finding sustenance and deep living waters of your soul.
Forgive people and ask God to crumble your heart of stone. I believe God is setting people free as we read these words in Jesus’ name.
The reason you have not seen your prayers answered is perhaps the fact that you have not realized some of these points and God is showing you right now exactly what the problem is, and you know what?
He can heal your broken heart and remove the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
Directions towards Christ Within the Hope of Glory
- Connect with stewards of God’s mysteries
- Discover God’s Will for you in the word
- Focus on Christ within versus outward things. Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness. Matt. 6:33; Rom. 14:17
- Hear Christ centred preaching and heed the warning in that type of preaching and teaching.
- Access the wisdom of God that has given His Son the name above all names, the Lordship and Authority over all things.
- Give the Lord full access today. The One that fills all things with all things and is the Head of the Church of the Firstborn registered in heaven. Jesus Christ – your King and Lord is within you by His spirit. When we say someone is filled with the Spirit – it is process of Him filling every chamber of your heart. Some people keep God in certain rooms of their spiritual house.
Jesus says:
Joh 14:15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments.
Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— Joh 14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
Joh 14:21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
Joh 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.
God always wanted a relationship with us. This is how it is restored!
