Moments of Faith daily devotional 19 March, by Prophet Frank Udoh.

Title: Christ in Me: The Hope of Glory

Scripture Reading:

Colossians 1:27 (NIV) “To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

Message:

The presence of Christ within us is not merely a theological concept but a profound truth that has the power to transform our lives. As believers, we are called to embrace this reality and live in the fullness of its implications. In this devotional, we will explore the profound significance of having Christ dwell within us and the hope of glory that it brings.

Reflection:

Pause and reflect on the words of Colossians 1:27. This verse reveals a profound mystery: Christ dwells within every believer. Consider the implications of this truth for your life. How does knowing that Christ lives in you change the way you view yourself and your circumstances?

As you meditate on Christ’s presence within you, consider the hope of glory that it brings. Christ is not only with us but also in us, empowering us to live victoriously and to overcome every obstacle we face. His presence within us is a source of strength, comfort, and guidance, leading us into a deeper relationship with Him.

Think about the areas of your life where you may have forgotten or neglected the reality of Christ’s presence within you. Are there areas where you have relied on your own strength rather than tapping into the power of Christ within? Take a moment to surrender those areas to Him and invite Him to work in and through you.

As you embrace the truth of Christ in you, allow it to transform every aspect of your life. Let His presence be the driving force behind your thoughts, words, and actions. May you walk in the confidence that Christ in you is indeed the hope of glory, leading you into a life of purpose, fulfillment, and eternal significance.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the indescribable gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who dwells within us by Your Spirit. Help us to fully grasp the significance of His presence and to live in the hope of glory that it brings. May we be transformed by His power and reflect His love to the world around us. In Jesus’ name, amen.
