“When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.”
Colossians 3:4 KJV
God did not raise you up for the uncircumcised of the world and unbelievers to step on you. He did not raise you up for you to be a misfit in the society. He did not raise you up for you to be frustrated, discouraged, condemned, and disparaged by the world. The Bible says you are the light of the world and the salt of the earth. The key is, as you have received Him, walk in Him, enter into Him until you are totally submerged, swallowed, immersed in Him and no one sees you but Jesus.
The Bible says from Colossians 3:1, ‘if you’re risen in Christ, seek those things that are above, set your affections on things that are above.’ Verse 3 says “For ye are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God” What does that mean? Your life is hid inside Christ. Therefore, you that is hid inside Christ, and Christ are now together hid inside God. No one sees you! They only see Christ. Why? The Bible says in verse 4: “So that when Christ, who is your life, will appear you shall also appear in glory with Him!
Appear when? Appear in the times of trials! Appear in the times of austerity! Appear in the time when your husband tells you you’re going to be divorced. Appear in the time when there’s no money in your bank account and when the bank wants to take your property. Appear when witches and wizards say you would not survive. Appear when your lecturer says if you don’t go with him to bed, you would not graduate. Appear when you don’t have a godfather in that business transaction.
Beloved, when Christ walked on this earth, nothing could stop Him. There is no power that will be able to stop you. Do you want to walk in dominion? Disappear. Enter into Him. Enter into Christ. So that you shall appear with Him in glory.
