Memory Verse : Colossians 2:9. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Bible Reading : Colossians 2:6-8. Key Verse :v7.
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Apostle Paul in his letter to the colossian Church tried to reveal the personality of Christ Jesus to us in a deeper dimension. The truth of God has been under attack from the camp of false men and teachers from the beginning. Such false teachers are always there even today. Most time the mix some truth with lies to deceive the unsuspecting. “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.” 2 Peter 2:1-3.
The only way we can prevail over men who peddle falsehood in the name of Christianity is to be properly rooted and grounded in the faith. After we give our lives to Jesus, there’s need for each of us to consciously remain in him, know him and walk within the ambits of his commandments because therein lies our safety. We have to work hard to get involved in activities that encourages spiritual growth. We can only take our roots down the soil of faith when we experience growth or maturity which in turn gives us a firm stand in him. Again, we can only be built up in the faith when we consciously fellowship with genuine brethren and by exposing ourselves to anointed teachers of the truth. When we have done all this, we will see ourselves walk in stability in him because of establishment that has takes place. That’s when we can’t be carried around by all kinds of wind of teachings.
On a very important note, we have to realise that everything we need in God Almighty as our father is found in Jesus Christ. Though he came in the body as a man to the earth, he represented everything about God in a body form. This is to enable us handle and relate with him in our weakness and not be destroyed. We don’t need any other form of manifestation of God outside Jesus Christ. He taught us everything we need to know about God, having been with him in glory from the beginning.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.” John 1:1-4.
Prayer :Thank you Father God for revealing yourself to mankind through Jesus Christ. Help me walk with Christ daily. Let me be rooted and grounded in him forever. Keep me safe and stable in you forever in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Luke 24:44-53.
