Your Life Is Hidden With Christ?

Happy weekend everyone,

Today is sort of like a continuation from yesterday but with a different topic. Today I would take a look at what happens inside of man when he becomes born again and what he is supposed to do. Let’s take a look at a verse in the Bible I enjoy reading which is, Colossians 3:3 which says, “For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” This verse is very powerful and I intend to take a closer look at it.

Man is divided into three parts which are; the spirit, the soul, and the body. The spirit is the deciding principle on whose side you’re on, the soul where the mind, the will, and the emotions lie had been corrupted by the previous spirit. The body just follows wherever the soul leads, so it is important the soul gets the right detail. Now, what does it mean to die when you become born again? It means the presence of a new spirit coming into you which in this case is the spirit of Jesus. So, how does He rule in your life because man still has free moral agency?

Jesus was given total authority over the heavens, earth and under the earth, which implies He is Prime ruler over everything and has decided to live in you. You on your own do not have any authority until you do what Apostle Peter said in 1 Peter 5:6-7 which says, “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time…” and how is this done? It is done by “…casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” Jesus is in charge not you, but He has chosen to live in you and as you have accepted Him. To accept Him implies that you ready to hand over the keys of your life to Him to take charge.

At the time you hand over the keys of your life to Jesus, what you are saying is that it is His will and not yours anymore by casting all your burdens upon Him. At this stage, your life is now hidden with Him. When people see you, they see Christ’s manifestation because you decide not to interfere. At the beginning when the Holy Spirit wants you to go a certain way, because of the dirty mind which is still “transformed” you may want to interfere. But as you decide to allow Jesus take charge, He leads the way and gradually your soul understands His ways as the right ways and more and more you manifest Christ in every doing with nothing holding back and by nothing I mean you interfering.

Allowing Jesus to be in charge of your life is to actually allow Him to have His way and you stop interfering.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
