_"And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ"_ *(Romans 15:29)*

The Apostle Paul's declaration in the verse above is absolutely profound. He spoke with certainty, saying, *"...I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ."* This statement reveals the possibility of walking in the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ while on earth.

Paul did not say he would pray for this to happen; he confidently declared it as a reality he walked in. What does it mean to walk in the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel? It signifies living in the complete manifestation of the inheritance of Christ, demonstrating His blessings, power and divine nature. This isn't an experience reserved for us in the sweet-by-and-by; this is to be experienced on earth, and in this time.

Paul's confidence stemmed from his understanding of our life in Christ. His writings are a testament to this reality. For example, he said, *"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me"* (Philippians 4:13). He also affirmed, *"...I have all, and abound..."*(Philippians 4:18). These are the words of someone walking in the fullness of Christ's blessings. This fullness is not theoretical; it is real and attainable.

However, many miss out because they yield to fear or follow the wrong path. Paul understood his identity in Christ. He declared, *"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."* (Galatians 2:20). What a consciousness!

This understanding made Paul bold, unstoppable and unwavering. He walked in righteousness and maintained oneness with the Holy Spirit. He lived a life free from frustration and defeat, saying, *"Christ in me, the hope of glory"* (Colossians 1:27). This is the life we are called to live---a life of victory, dominion and glory in the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel of Christ. So today, live in the consciousness of your divine Inheritance, demonstrating God's glory, power and righteousness. Be strong, courageous and victorious, walking in complete oneness with the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah!

*PRAYER*

_Dear Father, I thank you for calling me to walk in the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel of Christ. I live in the consciousness of my divine Inheritance, demonstrating your glory, power and righteousness in every area of my life. I am bold, fearless, and victorious, walking in complete oneness with the Holy Spirit, in Jesus' Name. Amen._
