The Final Word
COLOSSIANS 2:12
[You] have been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.
Do you want to know the secret to victoriously living out your destiny? Would you like to know how to defeat Satan in every battle he brings against you? The secret lies in your union with Jesus Christ. The book of Colossians tells us that we have “been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority” (Colossians 2:10). Jesus is the head. That means that He is in charge over all power and authority. He has the ultimate say over Satan. He has the final word. Your challenge may have a word, or your boss may have a word, or your crisis may have a word, or that relationship may have a word… but these things do not have the final word. If something is holding you down and keeping you from fully living out your destiny, remember that it does not have the final word. Jesus is the head over all power and authority. Jesus has the final word over everything. We also read in Colossians that you have received the fullness of Christ, in whom is “all the fullness of Deity” (Colossians 2:9).
In other words, everything that God is, His complete essence, dwells in Jesus Christ. And everything that makes up Christ, including His position as head over all power and authority, dwells in you. The closer you abide with Christ, the closer you are to living out your purpose. Everything you need is found in Him. So spend time with Jesus. Abide with Him. Talk to Him on a regular basis. Make knowing Him an important part of all that you do. He will guide you and direct you and make your path clear to you. Not only that, but He will cover you and protect you when you need it the most.
Jesus, I want to know You more. I want to sense Your presence and have Your thoughts guide my own. Help me to cultivate my relationship with You every day.
