Daily Bread – October 27, 2021 (The Fifth Day – Genesis 1:20-23) Colossians 2:19 – And not holding the Head, from Whom all the body being supplied and being knit together through the joints and bands increases with the increase of God. An Ever Increasing Manifestation Of The Life Of Jesus As we experience the growth and maturity that comes through our obedience to the Word of God, there is an ever-increasing manifestation of the life of Jesus revealed through our lives (1 Peter 2:2; Ephesians 4:13). The increase has no limits, as God has made a provision that allows us to come into all of His fullness. As we allow the Holy Spirit to take control of our lives by giving ourselves over to His ways, He leads us into greater encounters with Jesus (John 16:14, 14:21; 2 Corinthians 3:18). God’s desire is that we be conformed to the image of the Son; and as we totally surrender to the obedience of Christ, the conforming power of the Spirit strengthens and equips us to live the life of Christ (Romans 8:29; 2 Corinthians 4:16, 10:4-5; Ephesians 3:16; Colossians 1:11). However, if we think there are other methods and other ways to step into the realms of God’s glory other than conforming to the life of Jesus, then we have made a tragic mistake and fail to give the Head of the body His rightful place. Therefore, determine from this day forward you will give yourself over to living the life of Jesus (Colossians 3:1-4; Galatians 2:20). Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
