Resurrection Power in Christ

Certain events in our lives happens in order to fulfil God’s purpose and plan for our lives. It’s no doubt that He chooses the weak to display His strength. Even in our brokenness, God uses it for His glory to draw us closer to Him.

We’ve read about many miracles which Jesus performed in different places alongside His disciples. An extraordinary example in the Bible was the encounter with Lazarus and Jesus’s disciples. We all know the story of Lazarus and the great loss experienced by Mary and Martha when their brother passed away. The family was in great despair; for them it seemed too late for a miracle as Jesus came to meet them four days after Lazarus’s burial.

Another loss but glorious victory in the end was also seen when Jesus was crucified. His disciples were all in great fear and brokenness with the news that their master was no longer with them. Nevertheless, these two remarkable events contained a similar promise – a promise and hope of resurrection. This promise turned their great misery into an extraordinary testimony to display the glory of God.

It is never too late for God to change your situation. God’s message for us is clear that He alone has promised the hope of resurrection. This hope is not a worldly hope but a living Hope. A Hope that brings restoration to life. A Hope that raises the dead to life. There is indeed nothing too hard for God to do, including raising the dead back to life. The power of resurrection has not only defeated death forever but has also taken off the veil of blindness from our lives. This same resurrection power changed the spiritual life of Jesus’s Disciples, the Pharisees, the Roman soldier. That same power is at work in us and is still changing and transforming millions of lives around the world. There is nothing too hard for God; it’s never too late to let in the power of resurrection to transform your life. Christ’s resurrection power can break the yoke of bondage, anxiety, depression, fear and impossibility in your life. Irrespective of your past mistakes, unrepented sins, pride, unbelief, dishonesty, I am here to tell you that there is HOPE – a living HOPE that can give restoration to all the dead situations in your life – and His name is JESUS.

38 The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner. 39 And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. 40 You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you. 42 “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. 44 Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it.”

Luke 11:38-44

5 But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” 8 So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell ^zmy brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”

Matthew 28:5-10

25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,”

John 11:25

God open my eyes as you start to work in restoring my life, my relationship, my weakness, my faith, my household, my past, my business, my health, my blindness, my finances, and every impossibility I am facing. Amen.
