Checking into God’s Presence... Welcome to the Season of Lent which gives us a new horizon in form of a new day within a Leap Year in a new decade and a year that was considered new some 57 days ago. But just before you revert back to where you left off yesterday, do you honestly believe that Christ resides in you each day? If you do by association, what do you have in common with Christ? Do you offer a common pretence in the Assembly of God and known mainly by the cross you wear on your neck? Can we describe your relationship with Christ through the Bible you carry as a link to His Holy Name? Could it be the various regalia we put on that only depicts who we are on the outside but has no bearing to what exists in our innermost hearts? Does your sound preaching stand for who you are in Christ? What you write and even when you write, does that attribute alone pin you to the ways of Christ? Do you walk the talk and the Name of Christ? For and in everything, Christ is the key because the Christ in you is the hope of glory. “Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 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: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.” Colossians 1:25-29 Use us Mightily this Lenten Season oh Lord as we offer ourselves to You. Let our thoughts and deeds from now on have genuine common ground with Your ways. Make us to walk the faith we profess in You not by association alone but by the trust in the righteousness given to Your Name. Amen Just checking into His Presence..
