Christ Is Everything by Hiswordxray(m): 12:23pm On Jul 28, 2015
"and by Him [Christ] to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross." (Col 1:20 NKJV)

"So spacious is he, so roomy, that everything of God finds its proper place in him without crowding. Not only that, but all the broken and dislocated pieces of the universe—people and things, animals and atoms—get properly fixed and fit together in vibrant harmonies, all because of his death, his blood that poured down from the cross." (Col 1:19-20 MSG)

"He set it all out before us in Christ, a long-range plan in which everything would be brought together and summed up in him, everything in deepest heaven, everything on planet earth." (Eph 1:10 MSG)

When Jesus died he didn't just reconciled man to God but he also reconciled the whole creation to God. God reconciled man to Him by putting man in Christ so that man and Christ become one. So also God had reconciled the whole creation to Himself by summing them up into Christ. As a result (for us Christians) there is no longer things but now what exist is only one thing and that thing is a person, it is Christ.
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." (Gal 5:22-23)
Notice the word used is 'fruit' and not 'fruits'. This means love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control are one single fruit. This is because love is joy, joy is peace, peace is longsuffering, longsuffering is kindness and so on; they are not different things but only one thing and that thing is Christ. Christ is joy, promotion, goodness, wisdom, wealth, fame, success, grace, faith and everything. Everything had been summed up into Christ therefore when we are pursuing Christ we would also find happiness, fame, wisdom, holiness, prosperity etc because they are all in Christ. How wonderful is it! we don't have to spend our life pursuing many things but now we can pursue only one thing and find everything, yes we can pursue only Christ and yet find everything we ever need.

Christ is incurably attractive and if you allow Christ to be expressed through you then people would be drawn to you except those who hate the light and who loves to persecute the children of God. By 'fame' I mean honour and glory.

"12 saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!” (Rev 5:12)

My brother, the message of prosperity is not a false gospel cos the bible is replete with scriptures on prosperity. The only thing i might agree with you on is that, the message of prosperity has been bastardized by them pastors as they seem to have neglected teachings on salvation and holiness.

Well lets not derail the thread. In the main time lets celebrate Christ.

why do you care to know? And why do you ask? Will it make you to believe or agree or rather it will lead to more and more criticism from you.

Why talk respectfully to one, who hates Jesus and the Bible.
Didn't Jesus Himself call those types dogs and pigs:

Mat_7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Jesus also said to wipe your feet off those who reject Him:

Luk 10:10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
Luk_10:11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

Christians of Faith have nothing at all to do with antichrists.

Matt 7:6 talks more about putting your things of value before people who will not appreciate it. Its not that we shouldn't respond respectfully to them, but rather I think we should ignore them altogether. They do not ask questions to learn, rather to riducule. It is ignorance and fear on thier part mostly. Why exhibit so much hate for something you claim doesnt exist? Why actively seek out threads praising GOD and exhorting his word only to insult and ridicule? Its becasue they cant help it. They have been enlisted in an army and they dont even know it.

What you should feel for them is sympathy. What you should do to them is ignore. No amout of discussion in the world will change a man's heart if he doesnt want it to be changed.

Wether we like it or not the way to Eternal Life is a narrow one and not for the majority.
