Carry The Right Presence

And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him (Colossians 3:10).

As God’s people, we are engaged in a duty of presentation. Paul said in Colossians 1:28, “…that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.” You’re the product of Jesus’ perfect sacrifice and how you present yourself to the world matters.

This is enough for you to stop carrying a disfigured, sad and worrying face. You don’t need your folks to keep asking if you’re alright. The truth about a consistently long face or gloomy countenance is that it quenches the spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:19).

Heaviness is a spirit and you have to command it out of your life and your home. Such an environment can’t release joy, happiness, meekness and calmness. The presence that you carry with you speaks louder than what you wear; it tells the condition of your spirit.

Your life ought to be ordered by the Word. The recreated man is victorious, peculiar, more than a conqueror and walks with zest, issuing out life. A child of God has lips that bring forth life and his countenance creates an environment of joy and peace.

Understand that this is the environment where the Holy Spirit functions effectively. So make that extra effort to brighten your face and always see yourself the way God sees you.

Blessed be God! Hallelujah!
