Stir Up Your Completeness in Christ

Colossians 2:10 (LB), 1Corinthians 1:4-5 (NIV)
So you have everything when you have Christ, and you are filled with God through your union with Christ. He is the highest Ruler, with authority over every other power. *I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in him you have been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Do you really believe that you are complete in Christ, that you can do all things through Christ that strengthens you (Phil.4:13) and that God has given you all that pertains to life and godliness (2Pet.1:3)? Do you believe that God has blessed you with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Eph.1:3) and that together with Christ, He has freely given you all things (Rom.8:32)? Do you rest in the knowledge that God loves you much more now that you are His child and that He is more willing to save you with His life, Rom.5:8-10? If you do, then consistently declare these truths to yourself, no matter what your feelings or experiences endeavour to dictate to you. Accept the fact that you are whole and complete in Christ and that you lack nothing.

Completeness and wholeness are not functions of your possessions; they are functions of your consciousness. Jesus makes it abundantly clear that a man's life does not consist of the abundance of the things he possesses, Luke 12:15. And in Philippians 4:11-13, Apostle Paul confessed that he had learnt how to be content in whatever state he was in; regardless of what he had or didn't have, he could do all things through Christ that strengthened him. This is why despite his state, he kept on being a blessing to others and fulfilling God's will for his life, 2Cor.6:10. Never limit yourself to believing that there are certain things you cannot do because you lack the means or connections. You are a child of the Almighty God. By God's grace and wisdom, you will know how to use what you have to bring about God's abundance in you. Your life will never be defined by confusion and you will achieve things that seemed impossible.

FAITH DECLARATION: I am whole and complete in Christ. I am enriched in every area of my life. Nothing is impossible for me.
