YOU REPRESENT HIM
Monday, March 18th
Pastor Chris
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the
name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and
the Father by him (Colossians 3:17).
The verse above is quite instructive; it says,
“Whatsoever”; that is, anything you do, whether in
word or deed, it should be in the Name of the Lord
Jesus Christ. Why? Because you’re in Him; you’re
born of Him. He said, “I am the vine, ye are the
branches…” (John 15:5). 1 Corinthians 6:17 says,
“But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.”
We’re in an inseparable union with Him. Your
conduct, manner of life, and character should
always reflect Him, because you’re His icon; you
represent Him.
Christ should, and must, be seen and heard in you.
Jesus said he that has seen me has seen the
Father, because He epitomized the Father; He was
the Father’s reflection; His glory; the express image
of His person (Hebrews 1:3). Today, you live in the
earth, and do whatever you do as the representative
of Jesus; you function in His Name.
Therefore, live and talk as a God-man. This
consciousness brings a different perspective to your
character. Read our theme verse again: it says live,
talk, conduct your life in the Name of the Lord
Jesus! Think about it: how many hurtful or abusive
remarks can we make in His Name? None! How
much untoward conduct can you display in His
Name? None! When you talk and act in the Name
of Jesus, the result is excellence; He’ll be heard in
your speech, and seen in your actions.
Live every day as a conscious representative of
Jesus Christ. Never forget who you are; don’t take a
holiday from your identity with Him. Let your Christ-
character be consistent wherever you go. When
you’re in church, at home, office, marketplace,
wherever you are, your communication and actions
should be the same—gracious, kind, excellent—in
the Name of the Lord.
CONFESSION
I’m an ambassador, a conscious representative of
Jesus Christ, living in His Name! My
communication and actions aptly depict my union
and oneness with the Lord. And as God’s Word
gets into my spirit, I’m transformed into the same
image, from glory to glory, by the Holy Spirit.
Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: ||
Ephesians 5:1-2 NLT Imitate God, therefore, in
everything you do, because you are his dear
children. 2 Live a life filled with love, following the
example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself
as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God. ||
|| Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as
your Father which is in heaven is perfect. ||
|| Colossians 1:27-28 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: 28 Whom we preach, warning
every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom;
that we may present every man perfect in Christ
