Galatians 1:15-16
¹⁵But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,¹⁶To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
To reveal His Son in me: In that moment when Paul was persecuting the church, God revealed His son to Paul on his way to Damascus ( Acts:9;1-30) and His life was never the same. From then we notice that Paul was determined to reveal Christ to others in His writings, preachings and manifestations.
God has revealed His son to us, how have you manifested Him ?
What do your words convey? How do you conduct yourself? What is the tangible evidence of God within you? Our words have power and they can either reflect the character of Christ or the world. As Christians, we should always strive to speak words that edify and bring life. Like Paul, our speech should be focused on Christ and Him alone. In Colossians 4:6, Paul urges us to let our speech always be filled with grace, seasoned with salt, so that we may know how to answer every person thus our words should not only reflect Christ, but they should also be able to draw others towards Him.
1 Corinthians: 2;2-4
²For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.³And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.⁴And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
Christ revealed Himself to Paul, and now it was time for Paul to disclose the Christ within him. Consequently, Paul resolved to know nothing but Christ. Your discourse should reflect Christ and proclaim Him. Paul never ceased to preach about Christ—in speech, in letters, and in love.
Acts 2:22
Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
What is that singular manifestation of God in your life? Paul, bitten by a snake yet unharmed ( Acts 28:1ff), became the talk of the time, revealing Christ within him. Jesus Christ, accredited through signs and wonders, manifested the Father through miraculous acts. Notably, He declared, “As the Father has said, so I do, “aligning His life with the divine will.
Prophetic Utterance:
I am the beloved of God, appointed and set apart. By His grace, I am called to reveal His Son.
I am a sign and a wonder, a testament to His divine purpose.
I am approved because He approves of me,
I am approved because His word is in me,
I am approved because His word is made manifest in snd through me.

John 12:49-50
⁴⁹For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.⁵⁰And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
