God is at work in you.


“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” 
Philippians 2:13(KJV)

You are not alone; God is in you, energizing you and producing in you the desires and the ability to do His good pleasure. God is working in you, talking in you, talking through you and loving through you.
God is at work in you.

You have become God's headquarters on earth today. The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 3:16, “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” You have been made God's outreach centre to your world. You are God's point of contact and He wants to reach your world through you. God is within their reach because you are there.

In 2 Corinthians 3:5-6, the Bible says, “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.” In our own selves and ability, we are not able to reach our world with God's power and do His good pleasure, but because He is now

at work in us, we have become qualified and enabled to reach our world with His power and to do His good pleasure. Now, they can find Christ in you because Galatians 3:27(ALT) says, “For as many as were baptized [or, immersed] into Christ put on [or, clothed yourselves with] Christ.”

When Christ was here on earth carrying out His ministry, the Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:19 that, “God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself …” Today, the Bible says that Christ lives in you (Colossians 1:27). If Christ lives in you, it means that He will continue to carry out His ministry of reconciling the world to God through you, that is why the Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:20 says, “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.”

CONFESSION
Christ in me the hope of glory. God was in Christ and Christ is in me. I am not trying to reach God; He is already resident in me. I am His home, His abode, His dwelling place. I cannot leave Him because I carry Him in me wherever I go. The presence and the power of God in me, twenty four hours a day every day of my life. Praise God.

For further study read:
2 Thessalonians 1:11, Hebrews 13:20-21, Isaiah 41:10,
 Acts 18:10, 2 Timothy 4:17, Revelation 22:21.

DOING THE WORD
Be conscious of God's presence in you and with you everyday.
