Mystery
Of The
Did you know that there was a mystery hidden from ages and from generations throughout the course of history? It was even hidden from Old Testament men of God such as Abraham, Moses, Isaiah and David. Why? Because God meant it to be unveiled only to our generation the generation of new covenant saints.

other religion can boast that their God died and rose again for them. Better still, no other religion can boast that their God lives in them! The truth is that Christ lives in you for a purpose: To be the hope of glory in your life. Hope in the Bible is defined as a positive expectation and definite manifestation. So Christ in you is the positive expectation and definite manifestation of a glorious marriage, a glorious family, a glorious health a glorious and successful life!

Christ In You, The Hope Of Glory

Colossians 1:2527 25 I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God, 26 the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. 2 7 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Appreciate The Beauty Of Christ In You

Galatians 1:1516 15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mothers womb 1 6 to and called me through His grace, reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles God called the apostle Paul from his mothers womb for the purpose of unveiling this mystery to the Gentiles, to you and me. However, you will never see the beauty of this mystery unveiled if you cant see and appreciate the true beauty and value of Christ. Let me illustrate this for you. One day, I give you an expensive diamond ring worth $100,000, but I tell you that its made of zirconia. When you arrive home, your child sees the ring and wants to play with it, and you agree. An hour later, your child comes back to you and tells you that he has lost the ring. But you tell him, Never mind, boy. Its okay. After all, its only a zirconia ring and it was given to me by Pastor Prince. The next day, I call you and tell you that the ring is actually a diamond ring, not a zirconia ring! What happens then? You start looking high and low for it in your home. You will not rest till you find it. Why? Its because I just showed you its true value. Its the same with Christ. If you cant appreciate Christs true beauty and value, you wont be able to appreciate the beauty of Christ in you. If youre not able to appreciate Christ in you, then how can you expect to experience the hope of Gods glory in your

Remove The Veil From Your Heart

2 Corinthians 3:1215 12 Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech 1 3 unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. 1 4 But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. 15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. Now, before you can begin to appreciate the beauty of Christ in you, the veil on your heart has to be removed. This veil separates you from God. This veil separates you from the manifestation of Gods promise and blessings in your life. So, once this veil is removed, all your troubles will be removed. All that stands between you and God will be removed. All that holds you back from receiving your blessings will be removed.

Turn To The Holy Spirit

2 Corinthians 3:1617 16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

The veil is only removed when you turn to the Lord. But which one of the God-head are you to turn to? Is it the Father seated on the throne? Is it the Son seated at His right hand? Or is it the Holy Spirit? 2 Corinthians 3:17 gives us the answer. We are to turn to the Holy Spirit. Since the Spirit lives in you (John 14:17, Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 3:16), you will experience true freedom and liberty because where the Spirit is, there is liberty! So whenever you turn to the Holy Spirit who dwells in you, He reveals Christ His beauty and His glory to you. (John 16:1215) The veil is removed and you begin to see Christ in all His beauty and glory. the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed My friend, you need to realise that you are an earthen vessel, but Christ is the treasure in you. So when the pressures of life begin to mount, you will not go down! You are like a plastic ball in a swimming pool. The more someone tries to push it down, the more it bounces up! So dont get frustrated when you fail or when you blow it. You may be an earthen vessel, but remember that the treasure is in you. Christ is in you. And He is the hope the positive expectation and definite manifestation of Gods glory in your life!

Beholding Leads To Being

2 Corinthians 3:18 1 8 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. What do you see when you look in a mirror? You see yourself in all your imperfections! You see the facts! But when you behold as in a mirror the glory of Christ with an unveiled face, you dont see the facts, but the truth! And the truth is that God is transforming you from glory to glory. Its only when you behold His glory that you are being transformed from glory to glory!
