Memorize: Colossians 1:27 Good News Translations (GNT)
« God’s plan is to make known his secret to everyone, this rich and glorious secret which He has for all peoples. And the secret is that Christ is in you, which means that you will share in the glory of God. »
Read: Colossians 2:6-14 New Living Translations (NLT)
6 And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord,
you must continue to follow Him.
7 Let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built on Him.
Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.
8 Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking
and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.
9 For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body.
10 So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.
11 When you came to Christ, you were “circumcised,”
but not by a physical procedure.
Christ performed a spiritual circumcision—the cutting away of your sinful nature.
12 For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized.
And with Him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead.
13 You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away.
Then God made you alive with Christ, for He forgave all our sins.
14 He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.
Message
The “Mathematics of Christ In You” (MCY) refers to the measure of Christ in you and how much of His attributes you exhibit in your life.
The Law of electricity which describes how current flow in conductors is quite similar to it.
One law that guides the flow of electricity says that the purer the conductor the easier it is for the current to flow.
In other words, the more the impurities in the conductor, the more the resistance to flow of the current.
Thus, the amount of current flowing is determined by how large the resistance is.
A high level of resistance is the result of a lot of impurities.
In such a situation, the current cannot flow well.
The Holy Spirit is the current in our spirit man.
How well does He flow in you?
For the Holy Spirit to flow freely, your life must be free of impurities, because the more impurities you harbor, the greater the resistance against the flow of the power of God.
In my journey with Christ, I have come up with “The Law of the Measurement of Christ in You”, where the measure of Christ in you is determined by the presence of God in your life which can be limited by your resistance to His will.
RESISTANCE = P+S+PG+M+L+B+F+RA
The equation above is not exhaustive, but I will pause here because we cannot dwell too long on this topic today.
In the next few days, I will be explaining the meaning of each parameter in the equation to you.
The lesson here is that if you want God to move mightily in your life, you should have zero Resistance to His will.
Then, there would be no limit to how much God can dwell and operate in you.
I don’t know about you, but for me, I work every day to attain zero Resistance to His will in my life because I want God to dwell and operate in me without restriction.
If the Resistance can be zero in you, you too would shake the world.
I pray for you that by the end of this series, your Resistance to the move of Christ in you would have become zero, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Key point: Remove every resistance to God’s will if you want Christ to dwell in you mightily.
