Perfected In Him
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead
bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the
head of all principality and power
(Colossians 2:9-10).
In Christ Jesus, you’ve been perfected in all
things; you’re complete; nothing missing,
nothing broken. The life that you’ve received of Him
is a balanced life of glory and excellence; it has no ups
and downs; no downsides. Hallelujah!
There’re people who, for example, are doing very
well in their jobs, but with ailing health. Some others
may have good health and doing very well in their jobs,
but battling several inner conflicts. God doesn’t want
your life to be that way; He doesn’t want you lacking
in any area. He’s given you wholeness in Christ; it’s
part of what it means to be “complete in Christ.”
Everyone who has received the message of
salvation ought to experience this completeness
in Christ, where you prosper in all areas: in your
spirit, soul, and body. But if that hasn’t been your
experience, chances are, you’re not yet applying the
mirror principle of the Word of God. That principle is
simply to see yourself to be what God says you are in
His Word, and then act accordingly. It simply means
acting the Word.
We read in our opening scripture that you’re
complete in Christ; see yourself that way. Affirm it
always. Christ is in you in all His fullness; there’s nothing
more that needs to be done in you to enhance your
divine nature. 2 Peter 1:4 says, “Whereby are given
unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that
by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature
(associate of the God-kind), having escaped the
corruption that is in the world through lust.”
God has done everything that He needed to do
in you to make you all He ordained you to be. There’s
nothing excellent that’s lacking in your life, just as
there’s nothing bad that shouldn’t be in you that’s in
you. You’re complete and perfected in Him, for as He
is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17).
Confession
Dear Father, I thank you for the life of Christ in me. I affirm
the truth of who I am in Christ; perfect, whole, excellent and full
of glory! Christ has been made unto me righteousness, wisdom,
and sanctification; and as He is, so am I, in this world. I’m the
effulgence of His beauty and grace! Hallelujah!
