GOD SEES YOU IN CHRIST
Bishop Mike Okonkwo
“For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.” (Galatians 3:27 KJV)
Christianity is not a religion; it is life. If any man be in Christ, (the anointed one and his anointing) he is a new creation, a totally new specie of being. That is why you can say that sin cannot have dominion over you. When you approach God, you are approaching Him in Christ, not in yourself. And when Christ comes before God, any request He makes shall be answered. Jesus cannot make a demand from God and God will say no. When Christ confronts the devil, he knows that Jesus has defeated him before and will defeat him again.
You are in Christ. You have been in-Christed. You are inside Him. That is how God sees you when you approach Him. That is why your prayer must be answered. You don’t pray thinking will it/will it not be answered, you pray, knowing that God must answer. Why? Christ cannot be denied. When you are rebuking the devil, you know he has to obey. Why? You are in Christ. The devil is not seeing you; he is seeing the resurrected Christ, the Christ that defeated him. Christ defeated him before and He will defeat him again!
Always remember that you are a brand new specie of being that has never existed before. You are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that you should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10 KJV). That means that whatever you do must succeed. You are in Christ and Christ cannot fail. Therefore, you cannot fail. You don’t have any material for failure. You are already more than a conqueror. What you bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven and what you loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven. You now tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the ability of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you. It is your time of victory! It is your time of breakthrough! This year will not end without your testimony.
