Rhapsody of Realities Monday, August 11th His Headquarters In You Pastor Anita Oyakhilome Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him (John 14:23) I knew a long time ago that wherever I am is Gods headquarters, because Jesus said He and the Father would make their abode in the heart of the one who loves Him and keeps His Word. As I meditated on this several years ago in prayer, loving Jesus became so real to my spirit, and I understood what Paul meant when He said, For the love of Christ constraineth us... (2 Corinthians 5:14). What He meant was that our love for Christ compels us. Colossians 1:26-27 Even the mystery which hath been hid 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 among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. This is the secret of ages. This is the key: Christ in you. This was what Jesus meant when He said, when a man loves me, my Father will love him, and we will come and make our home with him. You become a Christ-in-you person. Christ takes up His abode in the quarters of your heart. Where will that take you? Lets read Colossians 1:28-29: (Christ) Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. The Apostle Paul understood this and acknowledged that he functioned and operated by the working of God that worked in him h mightily. No wonder he said , I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. With this consciousness, you realize that certainly, nothing is impossible, because anything is possible. Its all about Christ in you, working in, and through you. Youd never have to struggle for anything, because Hes working mightily in you, causing everything you do to succeed. The secret, however, is loving Him. When you do, He will set up His headquarters with you and your life will be from glory glory; youll become fruitful and productive in all things. Prayer Dear heavenly, I thank you for setting up your headquarters in me, and making me your centre of operation. Youve made me a success for life, because I love you and keep your Word; l acknowledge your mighty power thats at work in me mightily; and I thank you for your glory in my life , in Jesus Name. Amen F U R T H E R S T U D Y: Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 2 Corinthians 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
