TOPIC: YOU DWELL IN HIM*
WEDNESDAY, 28TH JUNE
PASTOR CHRIS
*_For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring (Acts 17:28)._*
   When you were born again, you were born into the environment called “Christ”; you dwell in Him. The Bible says, *_“…if any man be in Christ…”_* (2 Corinthians 5:17). Christ is a place, and He’s also a person. He’s your home. In Him, you’re at rest and at peace! You’re safe, secure, and fulfilled; your joy and satisfaction overflow. What a place to be! 
   Ephesians 2:6 tells us that God has made us sit together in heavenly places, “in Christ”; that’s your environment; an environment of glory. It brings to mind the account of the Israelites, as they journeyed in the wilderness for forty years. The heat didn’t scorch them by day, neither did they freeze to death in the biting cold at night, because they were in the glory cloud. Exodus 13:21-22 says, *_“…the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.”_* 
   The Holy Spirit made this possible for them, and He does the same for us today. You were born into God’s spiritual cloud when you were born again; you were immersed into Christ; you live there now. Your life is hid with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3). Christ is your security, your defence, and your fortress. It makes no difference who or what may come against you, refuse to fear. You dwell in the secret place of the Most High, where you’re untouchable. No evil can befall you!
    Psalm 91:7 says, *_“A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.”_* You’re divinely protected and preserved from trouble, defeat, failure, and death, because you’re in Him. “Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day” (Psalm 91:5).
*PRAYER*
*Dear Father, I thank you for bringing me into the environment of glory and success in Christ! I’m at home in Him; He’s my wisdom, righteousness and strength! He’s my life; in Him I live, and move and have my being. Hallelujah!*

TOPIC: VICTORS FOR LIFE.
PASTOR CHRIS
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations (James 1:2).
As you grow in your Christian walk, you’ll definitely have your fight of faith; it’s a must for everyone. The Bible calls it a good fight, because you’re guaranteed to always win. Some people see the fight of faith differently; they see challenges as insurmountable difficulties. Every time something happens, they cry, feeling sorry for themselves. If only such people knew how much the devil likes to see them cry, and enjoys their frustration, they’ll never give him the luxury. 
Realise that as a Christian, Christ lives in you; that makes you a victor for life. The Bible says, “…greater is he that’s in you, than he that’s in the world” (1 John 4:4). This is a present-hour reality. Romans 8:35-37 says, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.”
You’re unconquerable. See challenges as springboards to your next level of glory. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 says, “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” That situation, no matter how dire or frustrating it seems, is a light affliction. That’s how the Word describes it and that’s how you ought to see and relate with it. 
Learn how to laugh your way through life! No matter what you’re going through, rejoice, because it’s a light affliction that’ll certainly produce for you, a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. It’s your heritage to be triumphant always, and in every situation. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
I refuse to consider the present circumstances on the outward side of life. I’ve got my focus on the eternal; I’ve got my gaze on the spiritual. I give attention to the real, not the shadows. I look within me where God lives, and see the unseen, which is eternal.

Psalm 1:1-3 
Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 
1 Timothy 6:12 
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

TOPIC: THERE ARE GOOD THINGS IN YOU 
 
PASTOR CHRIS
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus (Philemon 1:6).
For you to be effective in the communication of your faith, there has to be an acknowledgement of the good things in you. There’re no bad things in you. Some people don’t know this, so they’re always looking for something that’s wrong with them. They’re always talking themselves down, focusing always on their inabilities, disabilities, and frustrations. That’s not right! There are good things in you, and you’ve got to acknowledge them.
As a child of God, the very life of God is in you: “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27). Christ is in you; He lives in your heart. Acknowledge it. Affirm that greater is He that’s in you than he that’s in the world. This means you’re not an ordinary person. You have the ability of God and excellence of the Spirit in you. You can reign in this life because you have the righteousness of God. You’re special!
Why is it so important to acknowledge the good things in you in Christ Jesus? It’s because they’re spiritual and are actualized or activated by acknowledgement. The Bible says, “They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said,Ye are gods;and all of you are children of the most High.But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes” (Psalm 82:5-7).
The above verses are very revealing. It shows why many live miserably and die like ordinary men, even though they’re gods and children of the Most High.They’ve never acknowledged who they are, what they have, their abilities and potentials in Christ Jesus; this has made their faith ineffective.
CONFESSION.
As I meditate on God’s Word, my spirit is programmed for absolute mastery, success, and transcendental blessings. I’m blessed and highly favoured. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places . I have a goodly heritage. Everything that belongs to me is glorious and wonderful. Hallelujah

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Psalms  139:14-16 
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.  139:15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.  139:16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
