Risen!

By

“The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?” Luke 24:5

“Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?” This is such an amazing statement. These women meant well; they did not mean to insult Jesus. I have news for you today. Mark today’s date in your diary. There are well meaning people that will come and look for you in the grave but they will discover that the tomb is empty. They will discover that God has resurrected you from the place they kept you. And if God will open their eyes to see, the angels will say to them, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?” They are so sure that they will find you at the vendor’s stand flipping through free newspapers searching for job applications. Guess what? The next time they check, you will not be there anymore because you are gainfully employed.

They can predict that you will be coming for your medication because you are perpetually sick. But because Jesus will heal you, they will hold your prescription and they will not see you to receive it. Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?” Nobody expected Jesus to rise. If I was Jesus, I will feel so bad because nobody even expected me to rise again. Not even the women; they did not expect Jesus to rise. How do I know? They went there with spices and with linen because it was two men that prepared Jesus’ body. And you know that when men prepare something, women need to revisit it and do it properly. So they brought spices and linen, so they can unwrap him and do it properly. In essence, they did not believe He was going to rise.

Nobody gave Jesus a chance. The Pharisees also did not believe He was going to rise. They believed He would be stolen and so they put guards there to eliminate that possibility. Peter did not believe; even John the beloved, did not believe. The apostles did not believe that Jesus would rise. How did I know? Read John 20. Nobody gave Jesus a chance, so why are you worried that nobody is giving you a chance and that nobody believes in you? Why is that your preoccupation? God believes in you and He will raise you up.

Prayer: Father, I thank You because concerning me heaven shall also declare, why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive, in Jesus Name.

His Channels

By
Rom.1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God [with emphasis]. So far we have examined three channels God uses to speak to us. If you are not reading your Bible consistently, if you are not listening to messages over and over again, and if you are not accountable to other believers, you do not have believers that are speaking into your life, you have already missed three main channels God speaks through. Channel #4: God speaks to us through His Creation. Ps.19:1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2 Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world [with emphasis]. God’s cre...

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...
