Power of Proclamation

3 May 2012                
                                 
Colossians 1:28-29 Him we proclaim, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man mature in Christ. For this I toil, striving with all the energy which he mightily inspires within me.

When we proclaim Christ, we preach Christ, and although there is teaching there is also a warning that those that are taught need to comprehend and turn back to Christ. In doing this we make the word of God fully known, this includes the mystery that Christ alone is our hope of glory. When the Holy Spirit truly dwells in us and we are filled with the hope of Christ’s glory in us, we are also filled with all the energy or power of Christ that inspires us mightily.

Now as a Christian we are often so drawn into ourselves that we loose sight that Christ dwells within us through the Holy Spirit in power, and all the energy of that power is there to inspire us to greater things. We are no longer satisfied with the normal and the mundane, we seek to display the power of Christ in order to bring others to know Him and to love Him just as we do. We proclaim in power, we teach with the authority of that power, bringing the wisdom of the word of God to all so that we may present every person mature in Christ. To do this you need to believe and live that belief.

Be encouraged today to proclaim Christ in power.
 
David

Point to ponder: To know Christ is to filled by Christ.

Question to consider: Are you filled with the energy of Christ?
