UNTIL CHRIST BE FORMED IN US
Gal 4: 19 ¶ My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until
Christ be formed in you,
To form means to move from one stage to another. It .means to morphoo.It means to fashion or shape.It means that we have to change our shapes spiritually.We should move from knowing Christ in the head to knowing Him in the heart.To form means that we have to constantly grow in the revelation of Christ.This is what will give as a different appearance because we have known this Christ we accepted so intimately.Apostle Paul did not say he was travailing for any other thing to be formed in us.Not for money to be formed, or religion,or mathematics etc.When something else is formed in us in the place of Christ ,nothing has been formed.But when Christ is formed, everything has been formed.When Christ is formed in us we can now form our worlds in Christ because we have all it takes to rule circumstances.
The first stage is to accept Jesus Christ into our hearts.That is not yet the formation of Christ.We can accept Jesus Christ without knowing the Christ that we have accepted. It is possible for some of us not to have any revelation about the Christ that we have accepted.God has revealed Christ in His words so that we can take these revelations into our hearts and live with them and say them so that they will work in our lives.To be a Hero, Christ has to formed in our hearts.God formed His word in Himself before He spoke them out any they came to pass.Those words were Jesus Christ.
(John1:1-3) 1 ¶ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. We could see that ALL things were made by him.If the world began through Christ,then we have to continue in Him and end in Him.We have to let Him be formed in us through His revelation in the word of God.When Christ is formed in us sicknesses are displaced,Poverty is overturned and grace multiplies
Christ cannot be formed in us if we are not born again.You have to do it now to grow and enjoy the benefits of Christ's formation in man.The guarantee for our expected future is for Christ to be formed in us.You see it was not easy for Paul. H e said that he travailed.He laboured for that to happen.Not willing to let Christ be formed in us puts Men of God under labour.We should develop this quest to know Christ REVELATIONALLY.This happens when we see Christ work in every of our plans and dreams.We should understand the mind of God in Christ and live them out.

PRAYER
Oh God open our spiritual eyes to see Christ in you words and accept them in our hearts in Jesus name.
