The Christian life is not essentially the imitation of Christ, but the expression of Him.
Christianity is not the removal of weakness but the manifestation of Christ’s divine power. It is not only about the testimony of changed lives but how much of the life of Christ that is being expressed and manifested after salvation experience. It is much about receiving alone, but what we are expressing.
Our walk is not only that of faith when things are good, but faith triumphing in the presence of doubt, fear and whatever seems to limit you.
The Christian life can be a continuous miracle and an ever increasing life of glory and wonder when we become fully aware of the kind of life we possess and who the new creation in Christ has become.
There’s no such thing as the downward life for the child of God, the new creation in Christ is superior to the beggarly elements of the world, the man in Christ is far beyond and above the oppression of the devil. The triumphant life has been given to us and this is the ultimate exchange.
Matthew 5: 16 (KJV)
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
The Light in you is not for you, it is to showcase your good works so that men can be drawn to God and glorify Him. You are the light of the world, and the salt of the earth. These two qualities are strong enough to make something big out of you life.
The greater one living in you is waiting to expressed and manifested. Let go of whatever kind of stronghold that seems to compete with the reality of Christ in you. Cast down every imagination and let them be subjected to the knowledge of the Word within.
Don’t just believe, but be proactive stand out from the crowd. Don’t just discover God’s deposits in you; but develop and demonstrate them in fullness. God is not only with you but in you.
Awake!!! Put on your strength and live the upward and the forward life. It is time for you to express Christ in and through you.
DECLARATION
I express Christ always. I express his glory and power. I am God’s mouthpiece for the world; I am not hidden, and from me His light shines to the ends of the earth. Glory to God!
