Christ Our Life by ochibuogwu5: 12:23pm On Mar 19, 2019
CHRIST OUR LIFE:
"When CHRIST OUR LIFE is REVEALED, then YOU also will be REVEALED with HIM IN GLORY" {Colossians 3:4}
A Christian is a person WHOSE LIFE IS CHRIST!!!

A Christian is NOT a person who reads bible alone or has completed reading the whole bible, knows/quotes bible passages, preaches bible, carries bible about, makes research about the origin of bible, makes research about the logical correctness of the bible but Christians study *every and any part of the bible* to testify about Jesus Christ teachings as God and Lord {“you search the scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they (the scriptures) that testify on my behalf. Yet you refuse to come to me to have (eternal) life” John 5:39-40} and discover more about Jesus Christ who is the new life NOW living inside us hence to learn how to collaborate with His Holy Spirit grace to bring out/manifest Christ as our LIFE {“be consistently filled with the Holy Spirit and you will no longer desire carnal things” Galatians 5:16}

Rather a person who BELIEVES/RECEIVES IN THE LIFE OF CHRIST JESUS WHO IS GOD AND LORD as HIS NEW LIFE thus “As many as there are who RECEIVED HIM, who BELIEVED in HIS NAME, He gave power/right/authority to BECOME SONS/CHILDREN OF GOD” {John 1:12}
Hence he/she does not say “this is my life, I can do whatever pleases me with it or let me research the bible, its origin, its truth and its logical correctness with my human reasoning in order to receive eternal” after he/she has BELIEVED because “THE LOVE OF CHRIST JESUS PUSHES US INTO ACTIONS since we are CONVINCED that someone died for *all*; therefore *all have died* and He died for all so that we who live the LIFE OF HIM WHO DIED FOR ALL no longer live for ourselves but we LIVE FOR HIM WHO DIED and was RAISED TO LIFE FOR OUR SAKE” {2 COR. 5:14-15}.

He/she lives according to the *promptings* of the HOLY SPIRIT just like CHRIST JESUS thus “how God anointed/filled Jesus of Nazareth with the HOLY SPIRIT and with POWER; how He went about DOING GOOD and HEALING *ALL* who were *oppressed by the devil*, for God was with Him” (Acts. 10:38).

The Holy Spirit can speak to u directly from within your mind; anyone who BELIEVES in JESUS CHRIST can hear his voice directly thus “My Sheep hears my voice. I know them and they follow me” {John 10:27}

The Holy Spirit can speak to us through other people thus “it is not you who speak, the Spirit of your Father speaks through you” {Matthew 10:20}

The Holy Spirit can speak through animals even circumstances, billboards, audio-messages, video-messages, chats, write-ups e.t.c just like Balaam’s Donkey {Numbers 22:28-30}

The power of the Holy Spirit working inside any Christian *MUST* produce *GOODNESS/RIGHTEOUSNESS* not evil or *die-by-fire-prayer against a fellow human being*

The power of the Holy Spirit at work within us as Christians brings clarity and internal-peace to whatever knowledge you have acquired about life, creation, creator and human existence to you as well as the people around you no matter how *little* or *big* your accumulation of facts have attained not causing confusion within you or weighing you down as a burden thus “the Lord is the Holy Spirit and wherever the Holy Spirit is found there is *freedom/liberty* for our mind/body/soul/spirit/business/family/marriage/career/vocation/brain/heart/finances/health/jobs/polity/nation e.t.c” {2 Cor.3:17} and God{the Holy Spirit} does not produce/manifest/cause *confusion* {1 Cor.14:33} in human hearts/mind/thoughts/soul/lifestyle/affairs as it concerns his relationship with mankind and his teachings.

The power of the Holy Spirit manifesting Christ in a Christian is to help those oppressed/possessed by devil/demons to regain their *wholeness* not by doing *magic* or *forcing your self-acclaimed freedom upon them* but by doing *only what the Holy Spirit tells you to do at each particular encounter/circumstance/situations/persons* thus “Do whatever He tells you” {John 2:5}

The power of the Holy Spirit also manifests the person of Christ inside us by bringing healing; where he prompts us to cast out demons we do just that {“In my name you shall speak in strange tongues, in my name you shall cast out demons” Mark 16:17}, where he instructs us to counsel human beings we do it according to his directions, where he asks us to teach we do it with all sincerity and clarity not hurriedly like a hireling {‘tend the flock of God that is in your charge, exercising your duty not under compulsion but willingly as God would have you do it—not for sordid/selfish gain but eagerly’ 1 Peter 5:2}

When people encounter us as Christians WHOSE LIFE IS CHRIST they *must* express a sigh of *relief* from *devil’s mental, demonic/diabolical, physical, financial, body oppression* because JESUS CHRIST OUR LIFE through His Holy Spirit manifesting inside and outside us ESTABLISHES COMPLETE DELIVERANCE IN ANY HUMAN BEING HE ENCOUNTERS thus “whoever THE SON sets FREE is FREE INDEED” {John 8:36}

We as Christians needs to *re-examine* our *current lifestyle* and discover “IF *CHRIST OUR LIFE* IS ACTUALLY MANIFESTING WITHIN US OR NOT”; If our lives as Christians is not manifesting THE LIFE OF CHRIST then we should ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT to have mercy upon us and release HIS GRACE to help us in this time of need.

Father, you have made us to understand that Our lives as Christians should only be prompted by Your Holy Spirit to manifest Christ, we have discovered our dependency on our human efforts and self-righteousness which made us exhibit *dead works* through the revelations/mysteries of the sound gospel of Grace and Truth hence we ask for your *mercy* upon us so that *your grace* may be given to us from your throne of Grace to help us *in this time of need* to submit *our free-will* to accept *only your will* for us on this earth in every tick of time in Jesus name. Amen.

Great Grace Brethren!!!
