"THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!" by Pastor Robert Oliver
Colossians 2:10 says~ "And YE ARE 'COMPLETE' IN HIM, Which IS THE 'HEAD' OF ALL Principality and Power!"
WOW! What a Glorious 'Proclamation' the Apostle Makes Here Church! Oh How I Need You to 'Listen' Carefully to Paul's Inspired Pen Today Beloved Believers! Let's 'Dissect' This Incredible Verse together and Notice "8" Particulars:
First, Notice "WHO" the Apostle Writes to! He says~ "AND YE!" That's "YOU" Beloved Child of GOD, Who Have Come to 'TRUST' In the 'FINISHED' Work of "JESUS CHRIST" For Salvation! It's "YOU" who Have 'RECEIVED' HIS HOLY SPIRIT in "REGENERATION!" It's "YOU" Whose SINS ARE 'COVERED', Unto Whom THE LORD WILL "NOT IMPUTE INIQUITY!!!" Paul Says, I've Got Something Very 'Important' to Say to "YOU!!!"
Ok But Secondly, Notice Our PRESENT "STATE!" Paul Says~ "AND YE ARE!" Oh Glory to GOD Beloved! Paul, "BY GOD'S SPIRIT" Here, 'Informs' Us, that We Are In a Totally "NEW STATE" Since We Have Received "CHRIST JESUS THE LORD!" He 'Boldly' Declares~ YE "ARE" NOW 'Standing' in a Very Special "STATE" of BEING! Listen, We 'No Longer' Abide in Adam, We Now "ABIDE IN CHRIST" as Fruit-Bearing "BRANCHES!" We "ARE" IN HIM "NOW!!!"
But Thirdly, Notice Our "COMPLETION!" Paul Writes~ "AND YE 'ARE' COMPLETE!" Oh Me Oh My Beloved One, Did You 'HEAR' What Paul Just Declared? He Said: YE "ARE COMPLETE" NOW!!! But 'What' Does He Mean by "COMPLETE?" Listen, the 'Greek' Word here is "Pleroo!" The Word 'Literally' Means "To Finish, Accomplish, and Perfect!" Did You 'Hear' That? Beloved, Listen to Me, JESUS CHRIST Has Already "COMPLETED" YOU in the 'Sight' of "GOD OUR FATHER!" And You Cannot "ADD" Anything to That, Nor Can You "DIMINISH" Anything 'From' that, Because it is Something that JESUS "DID" FOR YOU! And When Your HEAVENLY FATHER "LOOKS" AT YOU, HE DOES "NOT" SEE YOU, HE "SEES HIS SON IN YOU!!!" Listen, "HE" Has "MADE" YOU "COMPLETE" As Far as Your "ETERNAL POSITIONAL STANDING" Is Concerned!!!
Alright But Fourthly, Notice "WHERE" This COMPLETION is FOUND! He writes~ "AND YE ARE COMPLETE 'IN' HIM!" Aha, Now the 'Picture' is Becoming Much Clearer! Beloved One, Listen, I Need to Make a Statement: YOUR "POSITION" NOW "IN" CHRIST JESUS, Is "WHERE" Your TRUE "SELF" DWELLS!!! Listen, 'YOU' Have Been "PLACED" INTO THE "BODY OF CHRIST!" YOU Have 'Become' a PERSONAL "MEMBER" of "HIS BODY, HIS BONES, HIS PERSON!!!" YOUR "DIVINE UNION" TO JESUS CHRIST is "YOUR ETERNAL LIFE!!!" And HERE Is "WHERE" Our "ETERNAL SECURITY" Resides! Listen, You Can Add "REWARDS" to Your "Inheritance" In Glory Above, But YOU CANNOT "ALTER" IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER, YOUR "POSITION" IN JESUS CHRIST BECAUSE "IT IS FINISHED!!!"
And Fifthly, Notice "HIS" ETERNAL EXISTENCE! Paul Says~ "AND YE ARE COMPLETE 'IN' HIM, WHICH IS!" What? "HIM WHICH IS?" Listen Saints, He's Speaking of the "GREAT I AM" and he Says: HIM WHICH "IS!" Listen Now, "7" Times in the Gospels JESUS Said~ "I AM!" Do You 'Understand' What that Means Beloved? JESUS CHRIST Has "ALWAYS BEEN THE SAME, YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER!" John Described HIM as~ "HE WHICH WAS, AND IS, AND IS TO COME!" And Because HE "IS" WHO HE IS, HE "IS" ALL YOU "NEED!!!"
But Sixthly, Notice HIS EXALTED "POSITION!" Paul says~ "AND YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, WHICH 'IS' THE HEAD!" Wow!!! Did You 'Catch' That? The "WORD OF GOD" Just Made an Incredible Declaration: that is, that 'JESUS CHRIST' IS THE "HEAD" OF EVERYTHING IN THE "UNIVERSE!!!" That Means that HE IS "ABOVE" ALL!!! HE Is "MORE POWERFUL THAN ALL, MORE GLORIOUS THAN ALL, MORE WONDERFUL THAN ALL!!! And 'When' You Have the "GREATEST OF ALL, YOU DON'T NEED ANY OTHER!!!" Listen, HIS "POSITION" IS "ABOVE" ANY OTHER, HE'S THE "MOST HIGH" GOD, and THAT IS WHY "YOU" ARE COMPLETE IN HIM!!!
But Seventhly, Notice the "EXTENT" Of HIS "HEADSHIP!" Paul writes~ "AND YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, WHICH IS THE HEAD 'OF' ALL!" Oh How I 'Love' This Statement Beloved! Because This 'Tells' Me Clearly that That Old Devil is "UNDER 'HIS' FEET!" Do You Know What "ALL" Means in the Greek??? Listen, It Means "ALL!" The "FLESH" is UNDER 'HIS' FEET! The "WORLD" is UNDER 'HIS' FEET! "SIN" Is UNDER 'HIS' FEET! 'EVERY' SINGLE ENEMY, 'EVERY' OBSTACLE, 'EVERY' FEEBLE ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT ME "WILL FAIL" BECAUSE MY SAVIOUR IS "OVER ALL!!!"
Ok But Eighthly, Finally, Observe HIS "TOTAL" VICTORY OVER THE SPIRIT WORLD! Paul Says~ "AND YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, WHICH IS THE 'HEAD' OF ALL PRINCIPALITY AND POWER!" Oh GLORY HALLELU-YAH! The Apostle Just Said that 'Every' Single Demon in Hell "TREMBLES" and "BOWS" TO THIS "GLORIOUS KING!!!" Beloved, Listen to me: Satan Has "NO POWER" OVER YOU Because "JESUS CHRIST YOUR SAVIOUR HAS ENTIRELY VANQUISHED & DEFEATED HIM" BY RISING IN POWER FROM THE GRAVE!!! And Listen, HIS "VICTORY" IS "YOUR" VICTORY, BECAUSE "YOU" ARE COMPLETE "IN HIM!!!" So, My 'Word' to You today Dear One is Simply this: Realize "WHOSE" YOU ARE, and Recognize Your "COMPLETION" IN HIM BELOVED!!! Blessings to All, and Shalom...
