CAN’T I SUCCEED IN CHRIST JESUS?

By Andrew Ministries

Satisfaction inside Christ? Do not be deceived, there is Peace, Joy, Satisfaction, Progress and Prosperity in Christ Jesus.

With many people, young and old being deceived into believing that there is no way they can succeed while serving Christ Jesus, such people should know that all things needed by mankind are all inside the Word of God.

If it were not so, the Lord would not have commanded then, even as he is still commanding today that: This Book of the Law should not be allowed to depart out your mouth, why? For in keeping the Word within your heart shall you have good progress, Joshua chapter 1:8.

Today, most people worldwide may be in confused state because of the happenings in and around them.

For this reason, Christ Jesus forewarned everybody then, and still warning today, especially believers in Matthew 24:12 -13: “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”

If you are already in Christ Jesus, meaning, if already you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Master, pray for grace to hold on to your professed salvation and also pray for grace to make heaven at last.

Praying for grace is very important nowadays more than ever before as craze to acquire money despite all odds are sweeping across the world.

So, it would be recalled that Pastor W. F. Kumuyi, in his May 5, 2019 preaching on the message finding fulfilment in Christ Jesus said:

It is possible, in this present life, for a person to be spiritually filled with the fullness of God and of Christ, and be fulfilled. If not, the Lord Jesus Christ would not have taught us to hunger and thirst after it. Righteousness and fullness of spiritual blessings are not a mirage: they are real. That is why Jesus instructed us to hunger and thirst after it, so as to be filled with it.

“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” Christ wants us to be so filled with righteousness that we not only live in it, but also influence others around us with the righteousness of God. Christ-like righteousness is the gateway to full redemption and spiritual fullness in our lives. All we need is to be in Christ and for Him to be in us. Only then can we thirst and hunger for this fullness, which will lead to a full and fulfilled life (Colossians 1:9; Ephesians 4:13; 3:19,20). We should, however, watch out for the hindrances that can stall the promised fullness.

“The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.” When a soul is full already, even if with the husk that swine eats, he will loathe, belittle, shun and jettison the honeycomb.

In the same way, the feeling of self-satisfaction leads many people to reject the Lord’s gift and favour that would have filled their lives with joy and happiness. When a person does not know his true spiritual state, like the Laodicean Christians, he usually overrates himself, saying, “I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing” whereas in the sight of God, he is “wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.

“What a great hindrance to spiritual fullness! The cares of this world – what to eat and drink, ceremonies, deception of riches, inordinate desires – are responsible for the absence of the fullness of God in the lives of many Christians. When, like the Corinthian Christians, believers push down others to steal the limelight, they put hindrances before themselves.

“Self-satisfaction is one of the great clogs in the wheel of spiritual progress and fullness; so also are ignorance, material prosperity, suffering, search for earthly knowledge and distractions of all kinds. Whatever quenches our spiritual thirst also hinders our spiritual fullness.”
