When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear
with him in glory (Colossians 3:4).
In his letter to the
church in Galatia, the great apostle Paul in Galatians 2: 20 declared: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I
live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the
flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for
me.”
This is one of the greatest revelations of the new creation-
the “you” that existed before, ceased to live. The life of old “you” was
supplanted with God’s divine life.
Often, we hear Christians say: “I’ve given my life to Christ.” What this means is a total surrender of oneself to Christ. You cease to live a carefree life from that moment because you’ve given Christ the right to rule and reign over your life. You must forthwith give Him the right of way to have the final say in your affairs.
Though this happens
at the point of salvation, not many of God’s children walk in the consciousness
of the reality. If you’re born again, you no longer own your life because
you’ve been bought with a price; you’re therefore to glorify God in your body,
and in your spirit, which are God’s (1 Corinthians 6:20). It’s now your
responsibility to learn through the word, how He wants you to live.
This is what John the
Baptist meant when he said: “He must
increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30). That means Christ must have
pre-eminence because he is Lord over your life. Those who allow Christ to have
the pre-eminence in their lives are those who have truly yielded to the Holy
Ghost. They live above the world and its system because Christ is risen in
them.
Make a conscious
decision today to give Christ His due place in your life. Refuse to hold anything
back from Him because he’s able to make you and help you accomplish a lot more
than you could do on your own. This is the secret to living in consistent
victory, dominion, health and prosperity-living for Christ!
