HE IS RISEN

Text : Mat 28:6-7.

 *He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.* 

 *And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.* 

One thing the devil didn't see coming was the fact that Jesus will rise from the dead. This was his greatest undoing that he will regret till eternity. 

1 Cor. 2:8 says "None of the rulers of this world understood it, because if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory."

The fact that He is risen is the hallmark of our faith in Him. "If Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain."1 Cor 15:14. But Praise be to God, Jesus is risen from the dead. HALLELUYAH!!! 

 *When Jesus was being crucified, the enemy thought that was the end, little did they realized that was only the end of humans' slavery to sin and death! Glory to God.* 

 *Prior to His crucifixion and ascension, death was stinging men like vipers and grave was gaining victory over man, but Glory to God! Death is now swallowed up in victory through Jesus Christ.* 

This is why 1Cor 15:55-57 declares 'O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?'

The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Till date, the enemy still didn't want people to know the import of this gospel that indeed HE IS RISEN.

The first and urgent message the angels gave to the disciples (women) that first got wind of His resurrection was to go tell the other disciples of the great news. 

 *If indeed God has given you the understanding of His resurrection power, then you are saddled with the urgent responsibility of telling others.* 

 *Note that the message of life can only be received by disciples, to others, such message is foolishness.* 

For the message about the cross is nonsense to those who are being destroyed, but it is God’s power to us who are being saved.1Co 1:18 ISV .

A man may be walking in ignorance by reason of his darkened mind, but if he is a disciple at heart, once the light of the gospel beams on him, he will come to light. 

 *He is risen so you can be risen. He is risen from the dead so He could give you life eternal.* 

 _Are you aware He is risen?_ 

 _Do you believe He is risen?_ 

 _Then, arise, and tell others of the good news._ 

You can join me in singing this song... 

He is Lord 

He is Lord, amen. 

He has risen from the dead 

He is Lord. 

Every knee shall bow 

Every tongue confess, 

that Jesus Christ is Lord. 


WISHING YOU A VERY BLESSED EASTER CELEBRATION. 

 

Bible Reading: Matt. 28:1-10.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
