Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional Pastor Chris Oyakhilome PhD Theme: The Expression Of The Christ-life! Date: Tuesday November 26th, 2013 Scriptural Ref: Colossians 1:27 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. Christianity is the unveiling of Christ in you; its the outworking of the Word of God in a human person. When youre born again, you become the expression or image of the Word of God, so much so that all the steps you take-all the things you do-are the outworkings of the Word of God. When Jesus walked the earth, He was the unveiling of the Word. He was the manifestation of divinity; the effulgence of the glory of God (Hebrews 1:3). Youre the express image of Christ today. Everywhere you go, youre Christ alive in the world. In your office, youre the Christ they see. Your communication, therefore, shouldnt be at the ordinary level of life; when you speak, speak the wisdom of God. The words you speak, the life you live, the way you do what you do should communicate the presence of Jesus. That way, when people look at you, theyll see the glory of the new creation. This is the higher life in Christ! Become conscious of it; carry that awareness with you everywhere. Practise it consciously until it works out in you unconsciously. Dont say, You know Im still human! Being in Christ, your humanity has been supplanted by His divinity. You ought to give vent to the divine life in you: expressing the Christ-life is Gods dream for you. Become conscious that as the Father has life in Himself, so do you (John 5:26). That life is the transcendent life; its not susceptible to sickness or defeat. If you feel pressures from the adversary, say, Im strengthened; Im empowered; greater is He thats in me, than he thats in the world. Im the healed of Christ. Im born of God, and Ive overcome the world! CONFESSION: My life is the expression of the Christ-life. Christ is unveiled in me to my world today; His divinity is manifested through me, and I live in the consciousness of the higher life in Christ! Thank you Lord, for your wisdom, ability, and power, thats inherent and revealed in, and through me today, in Jesus Name. Amen.
