Christ in me the hope of Glory Part 2

In this episode of Kingdom Culture with Apostle Dotimi Egbuson, we explore the powerful truth found in Colossians 1:27 — “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” What does it truly mean for Christ to live within us, and how does this transform the way we live, think, and walk in our daily lives?

Many believers understand salvation, but few fully grasp the depth of the reality that the life of Christ now dwells within them. In this conversation, we unpack how this truth shapes our identity, empowers us to overcome challenges, and reveals the glory of God through ordinary people.

Discover how living with the awareness of Christ within you brings hope, purpose, and spiritual authority. When we understand that Christ lives in us, we begin to walk differently—reflecting His nature, His power, and His kingdom in every area of life.

Join us as we dive into this life-changing revelation and learn how embracing Christ in us becomes the foundation for living a victorious and Spirit-led life.

🎧 Listen now and be encouraged by the hope and glory found in Christ within you.

Watch it for Abuja, Nigeria, amen. That's good. Thank you for joining us. Um, I'm based in Aberdeen in Scotland, in the United Kingdom. Um, so it's good to have everyone here. Thank you everyone for watching. Please share this message, share it in your groups as well. So, Christ living the hope of glory. For me, this is one scripture I always put in my mind every single time, um, because it's the central message that Paul preached in every church that he taught in. He taught the same message or this key concept of Christ living on the inside of us. In fact, that's the main reason Jesus Christ came to this world to die, one for our sins and to reconcile us back to God, but also to enable Christ to live on the inside of us, to be able to live on the inside of us. You know, Jesus Christ was able to live in this world physically for three years, or three three years rather, and three of those years is where he actually walked his ministry on earth. But after he left, after Jesus Christ resurrected, died, resurrected, went back to heaven, he made it possible that he could release the Holy Spirit to every one of us, to every believer. Now the Holy Spirit can live inside you and I, so that we might be able to continue the work that Jesus began when he was here physically on the earth. What was the key primary work? So the Bible said Jesus Christ went about doing good, healing all that were oppressed to the devil, but God was with him. Hallelujah. So Jesus Christ went about doing good, healing all that were the enemy of the devil because God was with him. And guess what? Now that he is risen from the dead, we are now commissioned by him to go and do the same works that he did when he was on the earth. So we are now the ones to go out into the world to preach the gospel, to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers. Freely we receive, freely we give. So that's our mission. That's the call that God has called every believer right now to pursue, is to fulfill the mandate of heaven in healing the sick, raising the dead, casting out devils, doing the works of the ministry. So whatever work God has called you to do, in whatever city you find yourself, in whatever place you find yourself, it's not by accident. You are there by this divine authority, by God's precious plan, is to fulfill his work through you to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils, to do the work of the ministry, to do every single thing that Jesus is able to do on the earth while he was physically here with us. Hallelujah. Glory be to God. So, first of all, how do we start this walk for Christ to be in us? How does that come about? First of all, we need to be born again, we need to give our hearts to Jesus, hallelujah. We need to turn aside from our wicked ways, our old ways, and turn onto the Lord. So for anyone who doesn't know Jesus as his Lord and Savior, that's where we start. We reconcile our lives back to God, we get restored back to our fellowship with the Lord, hallelujah. So we get born again, we receive Jesus into our hearts as our Lord and personal savior. We come to know Jesus through redemption by accepting the message of salvation for every one of us. Bible says, has fallen short of the glory of God, for every one of us has made a mistake, every one of us has you know offended God, offended his laws in one way or another. And the only way we can get reconciled back to the Lord is through Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. We get restored back to God in Christ Jesus. So, Christ in me, the hope of glory. When Jesus Christ, the Bible says, if any man loves me, he would take up his cross and follow me daily. He that abides in the Lord, abides in God. How do we abide in him? How do we give our lives to him on a daily basis, every single day, walking in step with him, listening for his voice, listening to his word, and fulfilling that word in our lives through the Holy Spirit, letting God, letting Christ dwell and live in you and me. Hallelujah. Letting Christ live his life through you and through me in the name of Jesus. Glory be to God. Jesus Christ said in John 14, 20 says, For I am in the Father and you in me and I in you. Hallelujah. God bless you, uh, Reverend Mark, God bless you. Thank you for joining. So, Christianity is not just following a bunch of rules and regulations, it's not religion, it's a relationship, it's a living, welcome relationship with Jesus. It is accepting Jesus into our lives. The moment we accept him into our lives, he becomes our Lord and Master. We no longer control our day-to-day, we live in obedience, in union with him, in fellowship with him, one and also in fellowship with one another. Hallelujah. So when a guessing person gets born again, Christ comes to live inside of them. The Holy Spirit comes to take residency inside of them. So the Holy Spirit is in you when you are a child of God and you're born again. Christ lives in you, but don't let him be silent, don't just put him on the corner and just ignore the Lord on a day-to-day basis. We need to, on a daily basis, have fellowship with the Lord. We need to know about this life, know about what it means to be a child of God, know about what it means to receive salvation, what it means to now have the life of God living on the inside of you. What does it mean? What does what is the reason? What's the impact? What is the change that I can see in my life now that Christ is living in me? How is there what is the difference? That's what we find out through the word. We find out about the new covenant, about this new relationship that we have with the Lord, and then we walk in Him. Hallelujah! Hallelujah. We find out about what God has done for us in Christ Jesus from reading the word of God. We can read the Pauline epistles, they teach a lot about what Christ did for us on the cross, even when he resurrected. Now that he's at the right hand of the Father, what he's doing for us today, what it means to be a child of God. Hallelujah. So Christ in me, the hope of glory. What does glory mean? What does it mean? The glory of God is the presence of God, the glory of God is the nature of God, the glory of God is the kingdom of God. Christ in me is the hope of manifesting or experiencing the glory, not just on the inside, because the glory is already inside of you, but God wants that glory to manifest on the outside. Hallelujah. Also, if you have any prayer requests, please put in the chat. Um, we'll be happy and willing to share the word or you know, share what a prayer with you as well. So you have a prayer request, please put in the chat, that'll be amazing. So, Christ in me, the hope of glory. What does that mean? How do I manifest the glory of God? How do hallelujah? How do I manifest his glory? How do I show the world the glory that is on the inside of me? Hallelujah. We do that by releasing or doing the works of the Lord. We do that by doing the works of Jesus, hallelujah! Glory be to God, glory be to God. So God wants every one of us, every single one of us, to walk in the knowledge of the glory of God. Because just having something is not just it's the beginning of it, but we need to be able to manifest the glory, we need to be able to demonstrate his glory. So, for example, let's say you are as a child of God, obviously, people know you're you're born again, you're a child of God, somebody is sick, somebody is in need, or whatever it is. You are on the scene, you are the Christ on the earth today. You are to do the same works that Jesus did. If somebody is sick around you, lay hands on the person in the name of Jesus, command that sickness to leave. Hallelujah. You don't have to, you don't have you don't need any special qualification, you don't need anybody to lay hands on you for you to do that. The moment you get born again, the moment you receive Jesus as your Lord and personal savior, you've received every benefit, everything, all things are yours, the Bible says. Every benefit, every spiritual benefit has been released to you in Christ Jesus. Now you can do the same works Jesus did. It's a matter of faith, it's a matter of believing. Hallelujah. God bless you, Tracy. It's a matter of understanding what's already been given to you freely. The Bible says, freely you've received, freely give. Hallelujah. Glory be to God. So I want to encourage you right now to walk in the knowledge of what you have in Christ Jesus, walk in the revelation of everything that God has already provided for you in Christ Jesus. By faith, just do it. Don't even think about it. Don't even think, oh, you know, do I have enough faith? Or, you know, am I qualified? Or no, no, no. The fact is, you have the Holy Spirit inside of you, you have the power, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. The Bible says that same power dwells on the inside of you, the same power that raised Christ from the dead lives on the inside of you. Hallelujah. So you have the power of God, you have the glory of God manifesting inside of you. God wants you to release that power, hallelujah. It's just like electricity, you know, the power plant sends electricity to your house. You have the potential to have light in your house, but you need to flip the switch, you need to switch on the power switch on the wall and the light bulb of light. It's the same thing with us. We have the electricity of heaven, we have the power of God resident on the inside of us, but we need to release that power by faith in Jesus' name. If it's by laying out of hands, it's by speaking the word of prophecy, you know, if it's by doing good works in the name of Jesus, whatever it is the Lord has called you and I to do, we do it all. The Bible says, in the name of Jesus. So the glory of God is the nature of God, it's on the inside of us. We walk in that knowledge, in that revelation of who we are in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah! Glory be to God. So because Christ lives on the inside of us, we have the assurance of salvation, we have the assurance of eternal glory, hallelujah. Not just salvation now on the earth, but we know that we shall live with him forever and ever. Hallelujah! Glory be to God. So, how do we live with Christ in us? How do we walk in that revelation? Number one, abide in him. How do you abide in Christ? Number one, by prayer and by fellowship, spending time in his presence, not just going about our day, ignoring the Lord all day. You know, one time the Lord taught me about this, you know, I was out with my wife, went out to um to a restaurant, uh, went out for a dinner, and then you know, in the car on our way, you know, she was on the phone talking with somebody. So we're dressed up. I was wearing a tuxedo, she was working very wearing a very beautiful dress, and then you know, we're on on the way going, she was on the phone with someone, she talked with the person throughout the whole trip, about 30 minutes, and we got there. I was already fuming. I was like, Oh, I made so much effort to take her out, and she was on the phone with somebody, and then the holy spirit said to me, So why are you upset? I'm like, Oh, can you mind? She ignored me all through this time. We're supposed to be out, you know, together and supposed to be talking. And the Holy Spirit said, That's exactly how you treat me as well. That's exactly how you ignore me through the day. And I began to repent because I I knew how I felt when I felt like I was being ignored, and then you know, I said, like, Lord, oh, I'm so sorry, Lord, because I didn't know how that's imagine the Lord feeling that much more because He wants to have conversation with us, He wants to have fellowship with us, you know, even if it's five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes, whatever. But we need to spend time with the Lord in the place of prayer, in the word, and just say, Lord, I'm just coming to spend time with you. I'm not even coming to ask or bring my wish list or to ask for stuff, but Lord, I just want to be in your presence and just see how much of your spiritual life will begin to grow when you spend time and just come into his presence and acknowledge him for who he is. Renew your mind, the Bible says, through the word spend time reading and meditating on the word of God, walk in the spirit. How do you walk in the spirit? You walk in the spirit by walking in love. Galatians 5 talks about the walks of the flesh and the walks of the spirit. So we know we know all the walks of the flesh, but the key thing is the fruit of the spirit, which is love, manifested as joy, peace, long-suffering, patience, kindness, goodness, mercies. You know, all the all the manifestation of the gift of love, hallelujah, is how we walk in the spirit. You walk in the spirit by walking in love. When you have an opportunity to walk in hatred or to walk in bitterness or to walk in jealousy or in envy or in strife, you turn it around and do the opposite and walk in love. Hallelujah. Glory be to God. So the glory of God is being manifested through us, through you and me. We have eternal life, and we're supposed to give that life away and make disciples. The Bible says, of the nations, go into the world, make disciples of the nations, give the life to somebody else. Let the let your life be a living epistle, let it be an example of a believer, not just in word, in conduct, in faith, in purity. Wherever you go, be a light, be an example of the believer. Hallelujah! Glory be to God. So just realize something that Christ is with you all the time, through the good times, through the bad times. He's with you in the valley, he's with you on the mountaintop, he's with you in prison. You know, just like with Moses, you know, he was with Moses, you know, even before Moses went into the desert, he was with him. Even when Moses was at the back side of the desert, God was with him, and then God manifested, revealed himself to Moses. Hallelujah. The same way with Joseph, God was with Joseph, even in the pit to the palace, you know, to the pit to the prison to the palace. He was God who was with him every single way. So just because you're a believer doesn't mean it will all be a bunch of roses all the way. There might be tough times, but God is with you. And the Bible says, if God is for you, who can be against you? Always remember this Christ in you is the hope of glory. Christ will never leave you, the Bible says, and would never forsake you. He's always there with you. No matter where you go, Christ is with you. Glory be to God. Hallelujah. So I pray God's blessing and God's favor over you, and realize that you have a divine calling upon your life. You have an anointing, the Bible says, and you know all things. Christ is living on the inside of you. So don't make him silent. Because when you keep quiet, Christ is keeping quiet. Manifest the love, manifest his glory, heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the leopard, cast out devils freely. Bibles are you received, freely give. So I want to pray for every single body right now in the name of Jesus. Lord, I pray for your blessing, your favor, your love, your kindness, your goodness to rest upon every single person watching right now, under the sound of my voice. Let your mercy, let your grace, let your favor be upon them in the name of Jesus. Let your glory be seen upon their lives right now, in Jesus' mighty name. Let your kingdom come, let your will be. Done in their lives right now, in the mighty name of Jesus. Let Christ living on the inside of them right now, let it be made manifest in every single way, in everything they do right now, Lord. Let Christ be glorified in Jesus' mighty name. May your glory be seen in their lives right now, Lord. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen and amen. God bless you. May the grace and mercy of God be upon you mightily in Jesus' mighty name. Amen and amen. God bless you. Have a wonderful week, a wonderful weekend, and a wonderful Sunday service tomorrow for those who will be going to church. May the grace of God follow you in Jesus' name. And if you've never received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, I encourage you to do so right now. Don't let the devil steal your destiny. Don't let the devil steal your life away. God has a dream of which you know your your plan, the plans of God for your life. The Bible says the thoughts that I have towards you are thoughts of good and not of evil to give you a future and a hope, to bring you to an expected end. So God's glory will be seen upon your life. I would encourage you right now to give your heart to the Lord, to give your heart to Jesus. Let the Lord come into your heart, make you a new creation. Ask the Lord right now. Say, Lord Jesus, come into my heart, make me a brand new creation, make me a new man. From today, Lord, I receive you, Jesus, as my Lord and personal savior. I receive forgiveness of my sins. In the name of Jesus, let the mercy and favor of God be upon you mightily. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. And the people says, Amen and amen. God bless you. Have a wonderful, wonderful day, wonderful weekend, wherever you are. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
