CHRIST FOR YOU
Memorise: What shall we then
say to these thing? If God be for us, who be against us? Romans 8:31
A part from Christ being in you, another dimension of
Christ in relation to you is “ Christ for you”. The phrase “for you” in this
context signifies approval of or support
for you. The implication of ‘Christ for you’ is encapsulated in Romans 8:31:
“What shall we
then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?”
I pray that God will give you the revelation of this
in your spirit. With Christ for you, you become an unstoppable juggernaut. Every
opposition against you forward movement is bulldozed away. It is a great thing
when God is for you because anyone trying to curse you would merely be wasting
his time. We see this manifested in the life of the children of Israel on their
way to the promise Land. Because God was for them, all attempts to curse them
failed. In opposition to their onward journey to the Promised Land, Balak the
king of Moab
hired Balaam – a prophet, to curse them. God dealt with the prophet by warning
him against his mission through the donkey that spoke like a man. Besides this,
three consecutive times, at the point of pronounce blessing upon God’s people.
“How shall I
curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not
defied? Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any
divination against Israel:
according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What
God wrought. Numbers 23:8&23
How then do you obtain His support? It is by drawing
near to Him. James 4:8 says if you draw near to God, He would also draw near to
you. This means that you don’t serve Him only with the mouth, but also with
your heart. Drawing close to God means spending quality time in personal
fellowship with Him. Fellowship with Him means you talk to Him and He talks
back to you. Study how a man and woman in courtship get close to each other and
apply this to your relationship with God. They talk to each other, they share
moments of ups and downs together, they parade each other around, they express
their feelings of love and dissatisfaction in songs, poems and letters, they
study each other’s character and they shed relationships not approved of by
their partner and several other things. If you apply this principle to your
relationship with God, you will be shocked at how real \He will become and for
sure He will stand up in your defence just like a man will stand up for his
woman if confronted by danger while in courtship. \
Prayer Point
Father, fill my heart with
your love, cancel any curse upon my life and bless me.
