Does He That Lives Live in You?

 

"I AM HE THAT LIVES..."

When Jesus appeared to John in His resurrected and glorified form, He spoke some of the most profound words ever recorded:

"I AM HE THAT LIVES, and WAS DEAD; and, behold, I AM ALIVE for evermore, Amen; and have the KEYS OF HELL and OF DEATH." (Revelation 1:18)

This statement is more than just a declaration of resurrection—it is a definitive claim to absolute life. Jesus is saying:

📌 "I alone am the source of life. Apart from Me, everything is spiritually dead. If anything must have eternal life, I must live in it."

Christ: The Life That Fills All Things

Jesus does not merely exist—He fills all things with life.

📖 Ephesians 1:23 – The Church is His body, the fullness of Him that fills all in all.
📖 Ephesians 4:10 – He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.
📖 John 1:4 – In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

Nothing truly lives apart from Him. This is why only those who have Christ have life:

"He that has the Son has life, and he that has not the Son of God has not life." (1 John 5:12)

The world defines life merely as existence, but the Bible defines life as union with Christ. Without Him, people may exist, but they are spiritually dead (Ephesians 2:1).

The Most Important Question: Does He That Lives Live in You?

Eternal life is not just about living forever—it is having Christ Himself living in you. It is His indwelling presence that gives true, abundant, and everlasting life.

💡 Do you have this life?
💡 Is Christ truly alive in you, guiding, empowering, and filling you?

If not, He invites you today:

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in..." (Revelation 3:20)

Let Christ live in you and through you so that you truly live.

🔥 Does He that lives, live in you?

Giving That Honors God

Giving That Honors God Restoring the Biblical Priority of Caring for the Poor Rediscovering God's Heart Through Our Offerings - By Nicholas Uanikhoba Introduction: A Call for Scriptural Balance In many churches today, teachings on giving often focus on ideas like “sowing into ministries” or planting “seeds of faith.” Yet these messages can easily become detached from the real and immediate needs of the poor. While it’s entirely biblical to support ministries, it’s troubling that giving to the poor — which Scripture so directly connects to the heart of God — is often neglected. The Apostle Paul provides a much-needed corrective. Contrary to popular belief, many of Paul’s teachings on generosity — especially in 2 Corinthians chapters 8 and 9 — were not about funding his own ministry, but rather about raising relief for suffering believers, particularly those in Jerusalem. Understanding these texts in their original context brings us back to the biblical center. 1. Paul’s Com...

Whether in government, business, or ministry, true leadership requires  wisdom, integrity, and a deep sense of responsibility.  Every decision made by a leader  creates a ripple effect , sometimes impacting future generations in ways unseen at the time. The story of  King Saul’s broken covenant and its consequences  in  2 Samuel 21:1-7  offers  powerful leadership lessons . It reveals how  poor leadership choices—whether made in zeal or ignorance—can bring lasting repercussions . On the other hand, King David’s response shows the  hallmarks of a wise and just leader  who seeks guidance, upholds justice, and values integrity. If you are in a leadership role— whether leading a family, a company, a church, or a nation —these insights are for you. A Leader’s Actions Have Lasting Consequences 1. Ignorance is No Excuse ...

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness Uncovering the Hidden Cause of Division and Defilement By Nicholas Uanikhoba “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled.” – Hebrews 12:14, 15 (NKJV) What Is Spiritual Etiology? In medicine, etiology is all about tracing where a disease started. Now, imagine looking at our spiritual lives the same way—tracking down the roots of inner and relational struggles. Bitterness isn’t just a fleeting emotion. Scripture describes it as a root—hidden, slow-growing, but eventually powerful enough to wreak serious havoc. Like any root, it does its damage underground before its effects ever surface. And when it does, it brings conflict, chaos, and even spiritual contamination. That’s the essence of spiritual etiology: peeling back the layers to find whe...
