RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL TUESDAY 1st July WE ARE HIS COMPLETENESS And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. Colossians 1:18 Everything that comes out of God is God. In John 6:63, the Lord Jesus said, ...the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Everything that comes out of Him has His identity, power, and life in it. Think about it: even the words He speaks carry His life. Now, this doesnt mean everything that comes out of Him is His person, but that they carry His life. Its like the human body: every part of your body, no matter how small, has your DNA, but this doesnt mean every part of your body is you, per se. Its the totality of all the parts that make up your person. In the same way, did you know that Jesus isnt complete without us? And by us I mean the Church. You may never have heard this before but its true. Were one with Him (1 Corinthians 6:17); its the Fathers grand design for Him to need us just as we need Him: Hes our glory as we are His glory. Ephesians 1:22-23 says, And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all. Hes the one who fills everything (Ephesians 4:10), yet His fullness is the Church, which is His body. Were His completeness, and were complete in Him: For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power (Colossians 2:9-10). This should help you understand your importance and relevance to Christ. Youre in Him, and Hes in you. Without you, He cant reach the hurting and the lost in the world. Through you, Hes able to express His love to others on a daily basis, and establish His Kingdom in the hearts of men. Youre His extension here on earth because you hail from Him (1 John 4:4). This makes you a world overcomer because ... whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world... (1 John 5:4). CONFESSION The nature and glory of Christ is in me; therefore, I have what He says I have and I can do what He says I can do. No circumstance or situation is insurmountable to me, because Im in Christ and my victory is assured in Him. Im His glory just as Hes my glory. Halleluiah!
