The Fullness of God

Friday 31 July
READ: Eph 3: 16-21
MORE LESSON: 3 John 2

The fullness of Christ has to do with expressing the complete Christ in your spirit, soul and body. When you are sanctified spirit, soul and body, you are revealing the fullness of Christ (1 Thess. 5: 23). However, the fullness of Christ is not limited to expressing righteousness and holiness. It also has to do with being the embodiment of all that God is through the Lord Jesus Christ. Man is a spirit, he has a soul and lives in a body. Your spiritual state is the most important and must be given foremost priority. However, God's fullness must be seen in all three realms of your life. Holy and righteous living is part of expressing the fullness of God in your life, so also is health as it is expresses the fullness of God in your body. Success and excellence is part of the fullness of Christ even as wealth expresses the fullness of God in your life as well.

Christianity has to do with living right. You must know however, that flourishing is also part of expressing the fullness of God (Psalms 92:10). Like a palm tree, ever green, always bearing fruits and looking great, God wants us to flourish and grow in the spirit man, soul and body, business, marriage, academics and chosen career among others.

Jesus our perfect example while on earth lived in fullness. He expressed the fullness of God in the three realms. His spirit man was ever connected to the Father. He also fulfilled His purpose in life and lived life to the fullest. He never went to the hospital because He never broke down in health. When He left the earth, He said, it is finished meaning that He was fulfilled and accomplished. He also was not poor as the soldiers cast lots to have His expensive dress. Jesus was prosperous, so intelligent and mentally excellent such when He spoke, even doctors of law were dazed. He left a legacy in the world as He touched and transformed many lives and eventually replicated Himself in His disciples. Socially, He was successful. He had friends he related with and visited. He had good relationship with friends and family. Jesus showed us what the fullness of God is and that it is not limited to the spiritual life as expressed in holiness, sanctity and even anointing. It is revealing all that God is; expressing soundness in spirit, soul and body.

You must decide and pursue to live in the fullness of all that Christ Jesus has for you. It is time to grow and equip ourselves so that we can live in fullness in Christ Jesus.
