The worlds philosophies can corrupt your beliefs if your aren't strong in the Lord...'

Colossians 2:6-10 NKJV

As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

Shalom! Day #24. Do you know that without Jesus you aren't complete? Let's pray. Father, Your love and presence completes us. As we continue to walk in You , be rooted and build up in You, help us to grow daily. Let us be rooted in Your word so that we may not give in to false doctrines. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

As I was reading this verse, the Lord reminded me about how easy a believer can give in to the lies of the world. Since you have received Christ as our Lord and Savior, therefore for walk in Him, be rooted and be built in Him so that you would be established in the faith as you have been taught by the servants of God. Many believers are giving to the worlds patterns and philosophies. Being deceived by so called "new age" religions and traditional beliefs. The word of God is our firm foundation. If you build yourselves up on the word of God, then you are able to stand strong and firm because of your unshakeable faith in Jesus. The parable of the wise and foolish builder is a good example for us. One built on a solid rock which is the living and powerful word of God and the foolish builder built on the sands which is the philosophies of the world. Both built the same kind of house. The outside looks the same. But the difference is one is filled with the power of God and the another with all of worldly patterns and philosophies and teachings. And when temptations, trials and testings came by, the one who built on the rock stand strong and firm!

Therefore without Christ in us, we aren't able to stand strong and fight every attacks of the devil that's working through the teachings and philosophies as well as the false doctrines of this world. The sense of completeness is that when Christ is In us. Because in Jesus there is the fullness of Godhead three in one, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus said in the book of John,  "abide in Me and I in you." The word "ABIDE" in Greek is "EPISKENO" which means,  to remain, to encamp, to dwell. When you make Jesus as your home and you live in Him, the power of Christ will descend upon one and will work from within him / her and giving him / her all the help and guidance they need. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
