I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave His Son for me. Galatians 2:20.
For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. Colossians 3:3-4.

The only living that the Father recognizes and approves to be lived by any man on earth today is Christ life. He is the one whom the Father approved. ..."This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased". By Christ's life of obedience to the Father, even to the point of obedience to die on the cross for the sins of many, He was pleasing to the Father. Before His(Christ's) coming, everyone was living in disobedience to God's will. No one cared for God's glory, truth and righteousness. Everyone did what was right in his own eye. Thus God had no representation on earth. Everyone manifested the nature of Satan. God seemingly then, was the loser on earth. But when Christ came, He did not do His own will, but the will of Him Who sent Him. He lived to show forth God's righteousness, glory and truth. He was the express image of God, and the brightness of His glory. God was pleased with His life, and therefore made Him the prince of life, to give His life to all who will believe on Him. God in Christ ended all other forms of life that is apart from His Son's life, so that all who now live should not live for themselves, but for Him who died for us, and was raised again, that is Christ. Christ is now our life; and our living is in Him. In Him we now live, move, and have our being. The life we live now is through faith in Him. We have the life that is pleasing to God; Christ life. This is the highest and the most glorious life approved of God to be lived on earth by any man. May the Lord by His grace get us rooted in Him, to live Christ as our life. This life is through faith in Christ.

For He says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion. So then it is not of him Who wills, nor of him Who runs, but of God who shows mercy. Romans 9:15-16.

This should be our attitude towards God concerning everything that He does in our lives. There is always the danger of us wanting to take credit for the things that we have been able to achieve. When it seems to us that we are doing well spiritual wise, are able to trust God in certain circumstances, are able to pray, study the word, help others, and give ourselves to the Lord's work, there is the danger of us having confident in ourselves, and to think that our progress is of our own making, but in such conditions, may the Lord show us that it is not of him Who wills, nor of him Who runs, but it is all of Him Who shows mercy. When we have such proper attitude, we can have compassion on each other concerning our weaknesses, and not seeing ourselves as the only ones who are right, and all others as being wrong. God will always make us to know that He also has other seven thousand that has not bow down to Baal. Such attitude of knowing that it is all of God who shows mercy, helps us to live in the body, without look down on others, as being better than them. It will make us to always put our trust in God, have a humble mind, and strong in faith. May the Lord help us to put our trust in Him for help to go on in Him.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14

God has always wanted that man will be for the expression of His glory. His intention was to fill man with Himself to express Him. He exhibited this intention in His creation of the first man, Adam. Unfortunately, this intention was lost in adam. Man was decieved by God's enemy, who made sure that God's intention of having His glory expressed through man was not achieved. But God was not taken by surprise at man's failure, because already, He had made a plan for man's redemption, even before the fall, knowing that His enemy will work against His intention for man. God planned that His only begotten Son, Who is the eternal Word, will put on flesh, expressing the glory of the only begotten of the Father. He will be in put to death in the flesh, so that through His death, He might bring to an end the first adam, and in resurrection bring into being a new creation of man who will in this human flesh, live a life that will express God's glory. We are the new man created after Christ in God, through the resurrection of Christ from the dead. Christ in His resurrection with all the glory and fullness of the Father is now dwelling in us, as the life giving Spirit, to impart into us His life of glory, that we may be able to express God's glory. God wants His word(Christ), made flesh in us, and through us manifest the glory of the only begotten Son, who living in us, is the word that is full of grace and reality. The Lord Jesus Christ, Who is the incarnated word, expressed the glory of God, through living by the Father. If therefore, we will be an expression of God's glory, we also have to live our lives by Christ. We cannot be able to live out the glory of God do by our ownselves. It can only be through the Lord.The Lord said in John 6:57, "As the living Father sent me, and I live by Father: so he that eateth me shall live by me." We can only meet the God's desire for us, of expressing His glory through this way; by eating Jesus. All self effort and struggle will fail us. We must eat the word until the word is clothed with flesh in us to express God's glory. Amen.

To this end I also labour, striving according to His working which works in me mightly. Colossians 1:29.

For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Philippians 2:13.

According to the apostle Paul in these verses, it is God Who is working out His purpose in us. It is evident then, that we acknowledge the workings of God in our lives, and then to respond to such workings. This means that we do not have any work of our own to do, but rather to do the works of Him who is at work in us. We need not struggle to do any work, but to respond to God's working in us. The Lord said, I can do nothing of My own self, but what I see the Father do, the same work that I do. This is also the way God has ordained for us to live, by depending on His working within us. Paul had the same experience by saying, it is no longer I that live, but Christ Who lives in me, the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God Who loved me, and gave Himself for me. God's mighty power is at work in us as those who believed in Christ. We need to always acknowledge this power, and flow along with Him, and not struggle in our ownselves to do anything or any work for God. God is the one Who does the work. May the Lord help us to cease from our own works, and enter into rest in His own work. The Lord said we will find rest whenever we take up His own yoke. Our own work and labour is burdensome, but the Lord's yoke is easy, and His own burden is light. Dear saints may the Lord help us all to enter into rest in God's work. God has made Christ all things for us. Who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. 1Corinthians1:30. Everything has been worked out for us in Christ, Who also is working in us, to make us willing, and also the doing of His good pleasure. May we all be drawn to the power that is at work in us, and find the strength in God to do all things. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

THE UNCHANGING NATURE OF GOD.

God doesn't change. He remains constant in His character and person. What we are, and do, cannot change Who He is. It is His unchanging nature that has assured His Eternal Power and God-head, and the willing fulfillment of the planned eternal purpose in Himself, concerning man, in making him to conform to the image of His Son, for the expression of His glory. God's unchanging character is His strength to bears with us in the times when we change in our walk with Him, when we act in an unfaithful way towards Him. His wings of love and mercy is so strong, that He carries us, not allowing us to be cast off Him, but bearing us in all our weaknesses, until He perfects His work of redemption, which will consumate in our being glorified with Him. May we see the unchanging nature of His love and mercy, and be strengthened in mind and heart, to trust Him even in times of our weaknesses, that He will not abandon His work of love in our lives. His work towards us is not base on our own faithfulness, but His own faithfulness. O Lord, make us to be faithful in Your own faithfulness. Make us have the faith to depend on Your faithfulness, knowing that You, Who have began the good work in us, will perfect it until the day of Christ. Amen.
