Previously, I informed you that the spiritual CHRIST (called the Holy SPIRIT) within you, is within YOU to divinely COMFORT you (to give you perfect PEACE and safe HELP) in your TIME of TROUBLE as you journey from Earth to Heaven in Christ in this World. Read write-up (8) of this series for more.
The Bible reveals that:
Even the MYSTERY (spiritual secret) which has been from AGES and from GENERATIONS, but now is made manifest to His Saints:
To whom GOD would make known what is the RICHES of the GLORY of this MYSTERY (spiritual secret) among the GENTILES (those who are not naturally from any of the tribes of Israel in this World); which is CHRIST IN YOU, the HOPE of GLORY (on Earth now and in Heaven someday). Halleluyah! (Colossians 1:26,27; 2 Corinthians 4:1-7).
For today, I will be informing you that the spiritual CHRIST (called the Holy SPIRIT), who spiritually and supernaturally came into you on your genuine salvation moment, is within YOU as a divine strong, sure and steadfast CONSOLATION (to give you assuring HOPE, which you can anchor on) as you journey from Earth to Heaven facing challenging CIRCUMSTANCES in Christ in this World. True!
The Bible reveals that:
That you be not slothful, but followers of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE inherit the PROMISES.
For when GOD made PROMISE to Abraham, because He could swear by no greater, He swore by Himself,
Saying, surely BLESSING I will bless you and multiplying I will multiply you.
And so, after he had PATIENTLY endured, he obtained the PROMISE.
For men verily swear by the greater. And an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
Wherein GOD, willing more abundantly to show unto the HEIRS of PROMISE the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath.
That by two immutable things, in which it was IMPOSSIBLE for GOD to LIE, we might have a strong CONSOLATION, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the HOPE set before us.
Which HOPE we have as an ANCHOR of the SOUL, both sure and steadfast and which enters into that within the veil.
Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even JESUS, made an High Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (Hebrews 6:12-20; Romans 4:16-25).
So, you and I have a strong, sure and steadfast CONSOLATION in the promise made to our father of faith, Abraham, which is fulfilled in JESUS CHRIST.
Yes, we have assuring HOPE in Christ in this World to anchor on our Soul (life) as we journey from Earth to Heaven facing challenging CIRCUMSTANCES in Christ in this World. True!
The divine promise to Abraham was finally and fully fulfilled in and by the physical CHRIST (called JESUS), when He paid the price that made it possible for the spiritual CHRIST (called the Holy SPIRIT) to come into and live within humans (that is, those who will believe and receive in Him as their personal Lord and Saviour in this World). True!
The Bible reveals thus:
CHRIST has redeemed us from the CURSE of the LAW, being made a CURSE for US. For it is written, Cursed is every one that hang on a tree.
That the BLESSING of ABRAHAM might come on the GENTILES (those who are not naturally from any of the tribes of Israel in this World) through JESUS CHRIST that we might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the SPIRIT through FAITH. (Galatians 3:13,14).
Do you get it?
You receive the PROMISE of the SPIRIT at your genuine salvation moment, when the spiritual CHRIST (called the Holy SPIRIT) came into YOU to dwell and live through you to carry out God's prefect and specific PLAN and PURPOSE for your life in Christ in this World. Halleluyah! (Ephesians 2:5-10).
The Bible reveals that:
So then they that are IN the FLESH (those having not the SPIRIT of GOD in them) cannot PLEASE God.
But you are not in the flesh, but IN the SPIRIT, if so be that the SPIRIT of GOD dwell in YOU. Now if any man (or woman) have NOT the SPIRIT of CHRIST, he (or she) is none of His.
For as many as are LED by the SPIRIT of GOD, they are the SONS of GOD.
For you have NOT received the spirit of bondage again to fear. But you have RECEIVED the SPIRIT of ADOPTION, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
The SPIRIT Himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the CHILDREN of GOD.
And if children, then heirs. HEIRS of GOD and JOINT-HEIRS with CHRIST. If so be that we SUFFER with Him, that we may be also GLORIFIED together.
For I reckon that the SUFFERING of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the GLORY which shall be revealed in us.
For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for the MANIFESTATION of the SONS of GOD.
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him who has subjected the same in HOPE,
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the GLORIOUS LIBERTY of the children of God.
For we know that the WHOLE creation GROANS and TRAVAILS in PAIN together until now.
And not only they, but OURSELVES also, which have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves GROAN within ourselves, WAITING for the adoption, to wit, the REDEMPTION of our body.
For we are SAVED by HOPE. But HOPE that is SEEN is not HOPE. For what a man (or a woman) sees, why does he (or she) yet HOPE for?
But if we HOPE for that we see not, then do we with PATIENCE wait for it.
Likewise the SPIRIT also helps our INFIRMITIES. For we know NOT what we should PRAY for as we ought.
But the SPIRIT Himself makes INTERCESSION for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
And He that searches the hearts knows what is the Mind of the Spirit, because He makes INTERCESSION for the SAINTS according to the WILL of GOD.
And we know that ALL things WORK together for GOOD to them that LOVE God, to them who are the called according to His PURPOSE...
(Romans 8:9,15-39; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Romans 8:1-13).
So, the strong, sure and steadfast CONSOLATION (assuring HOPE), you and I have in Christ in this World as we journey from Earth to Heaven facing unavoidable challenging CIRCUMSTANCES for Christ's sake in this World, is the spiritual CHRIST (called the Holy SPIRIT) living within and through us
in Christ in this World. Hallelujah!
No doubt, in this side of life, every man and woman faces challenging CIRCUMSTANCES that seem HOPELESS most times, but we in Christ, who have the spiritual CHRIST (called the Holy SPIRIT) living within us, is not left HOPELESS by God in this World. That is, without a HOPE to anchor our soul (life) on as we journey from Earth to Heaven facing challenging CIRCUMSTANCES for Christ's sake in this World. True!
The Bible reveals that:
...CHRIST IN YOU (and I), the HOPE of GLORY. (Colossians 1:27).
Apostle Paul by experience says that:
We are TROUBLED on EVERY side, yet NOT distressed. We are PERPLEXED, but NOT in despair.
PERSECUTED, but not forsaken. CAST DOWN, but not destroyed.
ALWAYS bearing about in the BODY the DYING of the LORD JESUS, that the LIFE also of JESUS might be MADE manifest in OUR BODY.
For WE who LIVE are alway DELIVERED unto DEATH for JESUS' sake, that the LIFE also of JESUS might be MADE manifest in our mortal flesh (BODY).
So then death works in us, but life in you.
We having the same SPIRIT of FAITH, according as it is written, I believed and therefore have I spoken. We also believe and therefore speak.
Knowing that He (God) who RAISED up the Lord Jesus shall RAISE up us also by Jesus and shall present us with you.
For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
For which cause we FAINT not. But though our OUTWARD (body) man perish, yet the INWARD (spirit) man is renewed day by day.
For our light AFFLICTION, which is but for a moment, WORKS 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. (2 Corinthians 4:8-18; 2 Corinthians 12:5-10).
The spiritual CHRIST (called the Holy SPIRIT) within you must be treasured and treated valuable and precious by you in Christ in this World. This is because, He is the divine TREASURE of HOPE living within you and I in Christ in this World, helping us see lights at the end of our dark tunnels in life. That is, when ALL seem HELPLESS and HOPELESS before us because of the challenging CIRCUMSTANCES we are facing in Christ in this World, the spiritual CHRIST (called the Holy SPIRIT) within us, teach, guide and help us to HEAR and SEE divine SOLUTIONS on how to either ENDURE, MANAGE or SOLVE them (our challenging CIRCUMSTANCES) in Christ in this world to the glory of God. True!
The Bible reveals thus:
But as it is written, EYE has not seen, nor EAR heard, neither have entered into the HEART of man (humans), the things which GOD has PREPARED for them that LOVE Him.
But GOD has REVEALED them unto us by His SPIRIT. For the SPIRIT searchs ALL things, yes, the DEEP things of GOD.
For what man KNOWS the things of a man, save (except) the SPIRIT of MAN (human) which is in him? Even so the THINGS of GOD knows no man, but the SPIRIT of GOD.
Now we have RECEIVED, not the SPIRIT of the WORLD, but the SPIRIT which is of GOD. That we might KNOW the THINGS that are freely GIVEN to us of GOD.
Which things also we speak, not in the words which MAN'S wisdom teachs, but which the Holy GHOST teaches; COMPARING spiritual things with spiritual.
But the NATURAL man (human who have not the Spirit of Christ wiyhin him or her) receives not the things of the SPIRIT of GOD. For they are FOOLISHNESS unto him (or her). Neither can he (or she) know them, because they are spiritually DISCERNED.
But he (or she) that is spiritual judges ALL things, yet he himself (or she herself) is judged of no man.
For who has known the MIND of the LORD that he (or she) may instruct Him? But we have the MIND of CHRIST. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16)
Note that:
1. The spiritual CHRIST (called the Holy SPIRIT) in you and I in Christ in this World, is our one and only strong, sure and steadfast CONSOLATION (assuring HOPE of GLORY) of reigning as divine KINGS and PRIESTS of GOD in Christ on EARTH now. True! Halleluyah! (Colossians 1:17; Revelation 5:9,10; 1 Peter 2:9,10; Mathew 5:13-16).
The Bible reveals that:
...CHRIST IN YOU (and I), the HOPE of GLORY. (Colossians 1:27).
2. The spiritual CHRIST (called the Holy SPIRIT) in you and I in Christ in this World, is our one and only strong, sure and steadfast CONSOLATION (assuring HOPE of GLORY) of tasting as divine SALTS and shining as divine LIGHTS of GOD in Christ on EARTH now. True! Halleluyah! (Matthew 5:13-16; 1 Peter 2:9,10).
The Bible reveals that:
You are the SALT of the earth. But if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
You are the LIGHT of the WORLD. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick. And it gives light unto all that are in the house.
Let your LIGHT so SHINE before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in Heaven. (Matthew 5:13-16; John 9:4,5).
3. The spiritual CHRIST (called Holy SPIRIT) in you and I in Christ in this World, is our one and only strong, sure and steadfast CONSOLATION (assuring HOPE of GLORY) of reigning as JOINT-HEIRS with Christ in HEAVEN someday. True! Halleluyah! (Colossians 1:27; Ephesians 4:30).
The Bible reveals thus:
For if the dead rise NOT, then is NOT Christ raised.
And if Christ be NOT raised, your FAITH is VAIN You are yet in your sins.
Then they also which are FALLEN asleep in Christ are PERISHED.
If in this life ONLY we have HOPE in CHRIST, we are of all men most MISERABLE.
But NOW is Christ RISEN from the dead and become the first-fruits of them that slept.
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
For as in Adam ALL die, even so in Christ shall ALL be made alive.
But every man in his own order. Christ the first-fruits. Afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. (1 Corinthians 15:16-23; Romans 8:15-19).
The spiritual CHRIST (called Holy SPIRIT) is our divine strong, sure and steadfast CONSOLATION (assuring HOPE) within us in Christ on Earth because:
1. He is within us to GUIDE us par time to ALL truth in Christ in this World. (John 16:13-15; Jphn 4:1-4; John 8:32).
2. He is within us to SHOW us things par time that we need to know in Christ concerning us or others in this World. (John 16:13-15; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16).
3. He is within us to HELP us to pray alright par time according to the good, acceptable and perfect WILL of GOD for us or others on Christ in this World. (Romans 8:26-28; 1 John 5:14,15; James 4:1-4).
4. He is within us to LEAD us par time in making the right choices and in taking the right decisions according to the good, acceptable and perfect WILL of GOD for us, which makes us live not under the law, but under grace in Christ in this World. (Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18; Romans 12:1,2).
5. He is within us to LIVE (through) us par time the character lifestyle (of the FRUITS of the SPIRIT) of Jesus Christ in this World. (Galatians 5:15-26; Romans 8:29,30; 1 John 4:17).
6. He is within us to LIVE (through) us par time the specific and unique plan and purposes of God for each of us, who are spiritually and supernaturally recreated and regenerated by God in Christ Jesus in this World. (Ephesians 2:5-10; John 14:12; Isaiah 61; 1 John 4:17).
7. He is within us to LIVE (through) us par time the competent lifestyle (of the GIFTS of the SPIRIT) of Jesus Christ in this World. (1 Corinthians 12; John 14:13; 1 John 4:17).
8. And many more.
That is why Apostle Paul by practical experience from results of the workings of the spiritual CHRIST (called the Holy SPIRIT), who is living within and through him, boldly declared thus:
I CAN DO ALL things through CHRIST which STRENGTHENS me. (Philippians 4:13; Galatians 2:20).
Likewise, it is so for us too. True!
Therefore, the Bible counsels you and I:
1. Not to GRIEVE the divine assuring HOPE (the spiritual CHRIST called Holy SPIRIT) within us by deliberating sinning without repentance occasionally.
The Bible reveals thus:
And GRIEVE not the Holy SPIRIT of GOD, whereby you are SEALED unto the DAY of redemption. (Ephesians 4:30).
2. Not to QUENCH the divine assuring HOPE (the spiritual CHRIST called Holy SPIRIT) within us by deliberating sinning without repentance consistently.
The Bible reveals thus:
QUENCH not the SPIRIT. (1 Thessalonians 5:19).
Interestingly, the divine kind of HOPE I am informing you about is grown and developed by the spiritual CHRIST (called the Holy SPIRIT) within you and I by the TRIBULATION (suffering and sorrow) that GOD has ordained for us and will permits us to individually and uniquely go through in Christ in this World. True!
The Bible reveals thus:
Therefore being JUSTIFIED by FAITH, we have PEACE with GOD through our Lord JESUS Christ.
By whom also we have ACCESS by FAITH into this GRACE wherein we stand and REJOICE in HOPE of the GLORY of GOD.
And not only so, but we GLORY in TRIBULATION also. Knowing that tribulation works PATIENCE.
And patience, EXPERIENCE. And experience, HOPE.
And HOPE makes not ASHAMED. Because the LOVE of GOD is shed abroad in OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. (Romans 5:1-5; Hebrews 6:12).
Note this, without FAITH in GOD in Christ in this World, it is impossible to PLEASE God in Christ in this World. (Hebrews 11:6).
Likewise, without HOPE in GOD in Christ in this World, it is impossible to PLEASE God in Christ in this World.
This is because, HOPE in GOD during our challenging CIRCUMSTANCES or EXPECTATION period sustains our FAITH in GOD enough for us to be able to receive from Him in Christ in this World. True!
The Bible reveals thus:
Now FAITH is the substance of things HOPED for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1).
Therefore, the Bible counsels that we should be:
REJOICING in HOPE. PATIENT in tribulation. Continuing instant in prayer. (Romans 12:12).
Why does the Bible says that you and I should be REJOICING in HOPE?
It is because you and I in Christ in this World have already within us divine strong, sure and steadfast CONSOLATION (assuring HOPE) in Christ in this World by the spiritual CHRIST (called the Holy SPIRIT) living within and through us in Christ in this World.
It is because, the spiritual CHRIST (called the Holy SPIRIT) within us in Christ in this World is the assuring HOPE we need to be conscious of and to be REJOICING in HOPE that:
1. Our NEEDS according to the good, acceptable and perfect WILL of GOD will be met. (Matthew 6:33; Luke 17:20,21; Philippians 4:19).
2. Our EXPECTATIONS according to the good, acceptable and perfect WILL of GOD will come to pass in due time for us in Christ in this World. (Proverbs 23:18; Jeremiah 11:29; Ecclesiastes 3:1-11).
3. Our challenging CIRCUMSTANCES according to good, acceptable and perfect WILL of GOD will work out together for good in Christ in this World. (Romans 8:28).
Always remember that no matter or the odds that are against you, as long as you do not grieve or quench the spiritual CHRIST (called the Holy SPIRIT) within you, ALL things, I mean ALL things, will surely work together for your good in Christ in this World. True! (Romans 8).
Do have a HOPEFUL weekend.
God bless you.
