THE OUTWORKING OF THE WORD IN YOU – PASTOR CHRIS
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).
True Christianity is the outworking of the Word in you. When you talk, it’s the Word; when you act, it’s the Word. The Christian, essentially, is the expression or the image of the Word, such that every step you take and all the things you do are the outworkings of the Word of God.
That’s what the Lord Jesus was when He walked the earth; He was the unveiling of the Word: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…” (John 1:14). He was the manifestation of God, the express image of His person. Thus, your life is the revelation of the Word because you’ve been born of the same Word: “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever” (1 Peter 1:23).
2 Corinthians 3:2-3 says that you’ve been manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ: “Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.” The epistle of Christ is the Word of Christ.
No wonder we’re the effulgence of His glory, the manifestation of His righteousness. When you show up, Christ shows up. As He is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17). You make manifest the savour of His knowledge, wisdom, grace and power in every place (2 Corinthians 2:14). Blessed Be God! You’re Christ alive in your world today. He manifests His love, power, compassion, and grace to the world through you. Have this consciousness.
PRAYERDear Father, I thank you for making me your living epistle, known and read by all men. My life is the expression of the glory of Christ. The divine life is manifested through me, and I bring others into this life through the Gospel. Your knowledge, grace, power, wisdom and righteousness are unveiled in, and through me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; [3] clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.
2 Corinthians 2:14 AMPC
But thanks be to God, Who in Christ always leads us in triumph [as trophies of Christ’s victory] and through us spreads and makes evident the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere,
