TODAY’S MANNA for Monday May 23, 2016

You have been called by God!

God has chosen you to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.
Colossians 1:27-28 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Yes you, the Church, the body of Christ (not just Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers, but the lay people of the church also), God has chosen you to tell the lost of this world about the Glorious riches of His mystery, Christ living inside you! Christ lives in me. The Greater One lives in me. God has made ALL believers Ambassadors of Christ to the world! His Love has been poured out into our hearts by His Spirit so that we can share it with the world. Until we are made completely like Him through the power of the Holy Spirit at the resurrection (2 Cor 3:18), He lives in us. Until we can go to live in the mansion He has already prepared for us in Our Father’s House He lives in us. Everywhere we go and everything we do, He is with us, He is in us. “For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And you are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:” (Colossians 2:9-10) My job, your job, OUR job, is to tell the lost of this world about this Glorious Mystery and about His Love, so that they can come to know Him inside of them also. This is the ‘Good News’ of the Gospel. But you have to know it first before you can tell it! Get into your Bible and Learn The Word. Become active in a good Word preaching church. Remember this, that everything you do and say, God is in you, with you and knows what you are doing. Answer the Call!

MY PRAYER…
Holy Father, may the presence of Jesus within me stir me and mold me into Your image and likeness. May Your presence cause me to do Your work today. May Your abiding grace, through the presence of Your gracious Son, call me to Your character and Your will, implanting in my spirit Your will and Your love. Thank You Jesus, for molding and shaping me and consecrating me unto Your work by the power of Your Holy Spirit that fills me daily. Thank You for making my heart like our Father’s. Not my will, but Yours be done. In Jesus’ name.
Amen
