Wisdom For The Day Devotional 24 November 2024 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – You Are Complete In Christ
TOPIC: You Are Complete In Christ (TREM Devotional 24 November 2024)
“For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the God head bodily. And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power” Colossians 2:9-10 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
When you gave your life to Christ, something remarkable happened. You now dwell in Him, and He dwells in you. No difference! Christ is the Head of the church. You can’t be talking about the head and then separate the head from the body. Where the head is, that is where the body would be. The blood that runs through the head is the same blood that runs through the hands and the feet. Why do you tolerate whatever sickness the devil throws at you? By His stripes, you were healed. The devil is playing a mind game on so many believers. You are a giant in the Spirit, but the devil is trying to make you see yourself by the weaknesses of the flesh. But the bible says, henceforth, know we no man after the flesh but after the Spirit.
It is an insult to harbour negative thoughts about yourself when God has already elevated you. Redemption came with the package of victory in every area: physically, spiritually, materially, financially, and mentally. Divine ideas, creativity and concepts are part of the package. It is a total package. Your Father is the all-knowing and the all-knowing God. So, you can’t be stupid! It is not possible. You have mental alertness. You have a sound mind. Therefore, you must begin to stir yourself up.
Every morning, when you wake up, stir up yourself. When the prodigal son came to himself, everything changed. When he was eating and sleeping with the pigs, it was because he had not come to himself. But one day, he stirred up himself. He reminded himself of his heritage and whose son he was. As he arose, there was an instant deliverance. No one touched him. No laying of hands. He reminded himself that his Father owns it all, and his deliverance came. In other words, he learned to receive what had been made available to him.
