The Lordship Of Christ no 1
The Lordship of Christ is also discovered as we come… “to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”
Eph 3:19
[That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!
We have no right on ourselves. We belong to Christ. Let this sink in.
We have to allow Him to move us unto living through Him, daily. Him, having His being through us. On earth as it is in heaven – in us & through us. Having the fulness of who He is – flooding though our whole existence… our whole being.
Therefore, our emotions, walk & talk, our regular conduct… our mindset in the daily situations in life should actually display this unequivocally because of this wonder & awe of Him in us. Without a doubt. To be a testimony of our witness & testimony of Christ that lives within us.
Through life we experience our ebb & flow in life’s different & various situations. We even experience that in our faith-life. We have these moments of victory, faith & hope just to be down casted in our soul dimension when the frustration of not being able to break through in our faith-walk, or in life’s physical realm stares us in the face.
In these real moments in life, we tend to look within and revisit our own limitations, shortcomings, weakness and even go back to that sunken feeling of our failures old & recent ones…
What the Lord asks of us is to re-focus… re-align… adjust ourselves towards the reality of Him in us.
We ought to take the focus & attention off from ourselves on the horizontal focal points that we are bound to; not able to breakthrough those thought patterned visuals in our minds.
As He steps into the scene… There is an immediate BIG “IF” before us. IF we do allow His presence to become the main attention. For He is indeed always with us, always present everywhere & eternally the presence in everything.
Instead of positioning ourselves as main character, we now turn and focus on Christ in the scene. Him asking us to allow Him ‘TO BE’!
If we embroider further on this thought… we can say that Christ wants us to allow (to will, desire, want, to understand it to be of utmost need), Him ‘to be’ who He wants (desires, all knowingly will to be) , through our lives.
Allowing Him to be God in our lives. He nudges us to thoughtfully ‘give over’. This meaning for us to really trust Him, have faith in Him that He can be God through & in our lives.
That is what He came to give us – to be God Himself in & through us.
Prayer:
Father God,
it is our deepest desire & quest to surrender ourselves to You in such a way that allows the manifested presence in the fulness of Who You intended to reveal Yourself in this world. That this will have an effect in the physical realm where we move & have our being through our lives & through Your kingdom here on earth..
Thank You, Lord, that we may pursue to know You more – the great I am, the Lord of all of creation!
Thank you, Lord, that this can become our faith reality through knowing Your love, the love that You have for each and every thing created. It is so immeasurable. It surpasses all understanding.
Help us to know & belief that Your love for us is flawless, pure, constant, eternal and of a divine caliber.
Your love is supreme and the rule and standard to all that love is.
Amen
