The Real World

Apostle Grace Lubega

Colossians 3:3(AMP); For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.

Child of God, what is reality?

Many people have restricted reality to what can be perceived by the physical senses; what they see, hear, smell, feel and taste.

But God has redefined reality for the new creature in Christ.

He says Christ is our reality.

Because Christ is our reality, He has set a pattern for us to understand what is real and what is not real.

For example, when Christ appeared to the disciples while they were locked up in a room (John 20:19), it is because He is more real than the building, the brick and mortar or the physical barricade of a door.

By the laws of eternity, what is true overrides what is fact, and thus forms the substance of reality.

When we use expressions such as “in the real world”, we are not talking about the physical world but the world in Christ.

Christ is what defines the highest degree of anything considered as real. His character and form is more distinctive than what you can see, hear, smell or feel.

There is a real economy in Christ. There is a real government in Christ. There is a real marriage in Christ. There is real health in Christ.

Child of faith, let Christ be your definition of the real world.

GOLDEN NUGGET:

Christ is what defines the highest degree of anything considered as real. His character and form is more distinctive than what you can see, hear, smell or feel.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this great truth. My reality is framed by eternity and not what I see, hear, smell, feel or taste with my physical senses. I set my eyes on the things above where Christ is. I refuse to look at that which is temporary but that which is eternal. My marriage, ministry, business, career and entire life is defined by the reality of Christ. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
