CHRIST
FOR YOU
MEMORISE
What
shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:31
READ
James 4:5-8
5 Do ye think
that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to
envy?
6 But he
giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth
grace unto the humble.
7 Submit
yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh
to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and
purify your hearts, ye double minded.
MESSAGE
Apart from Christ being in you, another dimension
of Christ in relation to you is “Christ being for you”. The phrase “for you” in
this context signifies approval of or support for you. The implication of
‘Christ for you’ is encapsulated in Romans 8:31:
“What
shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?”
I pray that God will give you the revelation of
this in your spirit. With Christ for you, you become an unstoppable juggernaut.
Every opposition against your forward movement is bulldozed away. It is a great
thing when God is for you because anyone trying to curse you would merely be
wasting his time. We see this manifested in the life of the children of Israel
on their way to the Promised Land. Because God was for them, all attempts to
curse them failed. In opposition to their onward journey to the Promised Land,
Balak the king of Moab hired Balaam – a prophet, to curse them. God dealt with
the prophet by warning him against his mission through the donkey that spoke
like a man. Besides this, three consecutive times, at the point of pronouncing
curses, God intervened and in fact made Balaam to pronounce blessings upon
God’s people.
“How
shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD
hath not defied? Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there
any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob
and of Israel, What hath God wrought!”
Numbers 23:8&23
How then do you obtain His support? It is by
drawing near to Him. James 4:8 says if you draw near to God, He would also draw
near to you. This means that you don’t serve Him only with the mouth, but also
with your heart. Drawing close to God means spending quality time in personal
fellowship with Him. Fellowshipping with Him means you talk to Him and He talks
back to you. Study how a man and woman in courtship get close to each other and
apply this to your relationship with God. They talk to each other, they share
moments of ups and downs together, they parade each other around, they express
their feelings of love and dissatisfaction in songs, poems and letters, they
study each other’s character and they shed relationships not approved of by their
partner and several other things. If you apply this principle to your
relationship with God, you will be shocked at how real He will become and for
sure He will stand up in your defence just like a man will stand up for his
woman if confronted by danger while in courtship.
