The temporal Christian hope

 “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:” Colossians 1:27 KJV

Christian hope is not only eternal; it is also temporal. There is a hope we have in this present world because Christ lives in us. This hope is not based on human strength, favourable circumstances, or the promises of men. It is based on the presence of Christ, the Anointed One, in our lives. Christ in you means the Anointed One lives on the inside of you. This is the foundation of your hope of glory. When Jesus walked on the earth, He went about doing good, healing all who were oppressed of the devil, because God was with Him (Acts 10:38). That same Christ now lives in you. Therefore, you are not helpless, hopeless, or abandoned.

Beloved, the One inside you is greater than the powers fighting against you (1 John 4:4). This means no situation is greater than the Christ within you. He is your deliverer, your strength, your teacher, and your truth. The anointing you have received abides in you and teaches you all things (1 John 2:27). Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6), and because He lives in you, your life cannot be without direction, truth, and divine help. Do not face life as someone without hope. Be conscious every day that Christ lives in you. His presence in you is your assurance that you can overcome, you can rise again, and you can walk into glory even in this present world.

Prophetic Word: I declare that Christ in you shall speak over every situation in your life. You shall not be stranded, defeated, or put to shame. The hope of glory shall manifest in your health, family, ministry, work, and destiny. In Jesus’ name.

Prayer: Christ lives on the inside of me. Therefore, no situation is impossible for me to overcome. I walk in hope, victory, wisdom, and glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
