And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself. -Ephesians 1:23(NLT)
FILLED WITH CHRIST
A poem and essay by ILMA
The moment you believe in Jesus Christ
He fills you up with his love and his light
You begin to view the way he sees things
Gone is the old life; you gain power over sin.
When you are filled with Jesus Christ
You begin to hear his Spirit manifest in your life
You are made full in Christ when you submit to him
His presence will manifest in you and you’ll win.

There are some Christians who fail to allow Christ to fill their lives. One of the reasons why they are unable to access the power of Jesus is because they have not totally given up their old ways and embrace the new life that they have received when they accepted him in their lives. Having victory over sin comes with the pre-requisite that we need to receive the Holy Spirit in our hearts and not grieve it. Many people feel empty inside and keep searching how to fill this void. I did this many years during the valleys of my life. What I didn’t realize until I became a born again Christian was it was only Jesus that could fill up that desolation. He created us for himself and only him can fill us up.

Lord, give me a heart that will always long for you.
REFLECTION
What happens if you fill your heart with other things rather than Jesus?

And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself. – Ephesians 1:23 (NLT)
FULL & COMPLETE BY CHRIST
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you feel empty and incomplete in your life?
Have you accepted and committed to Christ?
If you believe that Christ came to save you
You will be part of his church which renews.
You will have a new life and die to your old self
You will give up self-effort and seek God for help
You will be made full and complete by Christ
He will fill you with his Spirit and you’ll gain insight.
For many years of my life, I chased dreams, ambitions and approval from others. I felt incomplete and empty despite all these efforts. When I gave up rebellion, disobedience and self effort, Christ revealed to me the toxic gospels that I believed in before. The word of God changed my view and led me to the truth that only Christ can make us complete. I stopped relying on myself. Instead, I focused on Christ’s mercy and grace.
When we believe in Christ, we become part of his body. He fills us with his spirit that makes us full and complete. We stop performing and start following and living in love. We become dependent on him.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to focus on you always.
REFLECTION
What things and dreams keep you from focusing on Christ?
