TOPIC: Christ Is In You (TREM Devotional 12 March 2026)
“To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” – Colossians 1:27 (NKJV)
MESSAGE
Beloved, Christ is in you; those are not just beautiful words or poetic expressions. That is your divine reality. Christ in you, the hope of glory. The word hope here means a joyful, confident expectation. It is not wishful thinking; it is the assurance that no matter what you face, everything will ultimately turn out for your good.
Romans 8:28 declares, “All things work together for good to them that love God.” That means nothing works against you. You cannot be defeated. You will not die before your time. Sickness will not prevail over you. Armed robbers, ritual killers, and evil conspiracies will not succeed against you. You will not be stranded, you will not be shamed, and you will not be humiliated, because Christ is alive in you!
When a will is written, it only comes into effect after the death of the testator. Jesus died so that the will, God’s divine inheritance, could take effect. But He did not remain in the grave; He rose again to ensure that the will is fully executed in your life! And now, that same Christ lives inside of you.
Everything concerning you has been paid for in full. You are not under accusation, condemnation, or judgment. Because Christ cannot fail, you cannot fail. Because He is victorious, you are victorious.
That’s why Colossians 2:6–7 says, “As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.”
Don’t live as though you are empty or ordinary. Walk with the consciousness that you are in Christ, divinely united with Him in life and purpose. Develop what I call an “inchristed mentality.” See yourself through the lens of your union with Christ.
The scripture continues: “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.” (Colossians 2:8–10 NKJV).
Did you catch that? You are complete in Him! You lack nothing. You are not trying to become complete, you already are, in Christ.
So when you move, God’s headquarters moves. When you walk into a room, Heaven’s authority steps in. When you drive on the road, divine presence drives with you. You are not ordinary, you are the visible expression of an invisible God.
