Phil. 3:12-14 (Pt. 3) Thought/Prayer: Taken Possession Of by Jesus Christ. Topics: 2 at end.
Paul says to the Philippians: “Not that I have already obtained [the prize], or am already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may get possession [of it], seeing that also I have been taken possession of by Christ [Jesus].
Brethren, I do not count to have got possession myself; but one thing—forgetting the things behind, and stretching out to the things before,
I pursue, [looking] towards [the] goal, for the prize of the calling on high of God in Christ Jesus. DARBY http://www.bible.com (Read this scripture and more at http://prayerpivot.com)
Paul tells the Philippian Christians, “I have been taken possession of by Christ Jesus.” Wow! For some reason this scripture had never yet displayed itself as being so powerful. Perhaps this is because I had never read it in this Darby translation. But there it is in an almond shell: Christ takes us over and owns us. (I say almond instead of nut shell in general—almond shells are not very big) to give the distillation of meaning: the pure, compressed truth – Christ not only wants to take us over, but he does.
How can anything be any more cogent? It’s what the Christian walk is all about. “Christ in you the hope of glory.” (Col. 1:27 KJV). This will lead into another devotional, but suffice it to say that we must allow ourselves to be taken over by Christ. He’s the one who knows how to live our Christian lives the best. We must submit to Him and let Him lead us through our hearts, minds and wills. This arrangement will then lead to more success than we can ever contemplate.
Lord, help us to allow you to direct every thought, prayer, and action as we serve those threatened by anti-life thoughtlessness. Yes, Lord, help us.
