Text: Philipians 3:10.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not just a religious activity. It is a time where our liberty, our freedom is made known to us through knowledge.
People talk about the death and not really the resurrection of Christ. He died for our sins, what did He resurrect for?. Luke 24:45.
Christianity without power will be mere frustration. What your English can’t do, one power can do it.
I went to a place called Mile 2 in Lagos; lagos is a commercial city of Nigeria. 1996 I was out to preach as a student in Bible school. While I was preaching in the afternoon, I said “Jesus loves you”, Nobody was ready to listen to me, when I give them hand bill, they say “Filé jor”. Filé means leave me. They said “We dey hungry you dey tell us Jesus loves you”.
I turned and told God what kind of frustration is this? Is this how I will come here and go like that? He said “Pray for that man”, this man was on crutches and I asked what if it doesn’t work? You know as a young Christian you sometimes struggle in your heart. Church Gist.I took him to one corner so that if it doesn’t work, it is only two of us.
I told him Jesus loves you and I heard, “Tell him to drop his crutches” and I said “In Jesus Name, drop your crutches”. He dropped the crutches and staggered, moved one leg and then the other. He walked. Mile 2 erupted, the same people that said filé, they all gathered. This time around, I didn’t preach, I led them to Christ. Christianity without power is mere frustration.
Anybody can work in power.
WHAT QUALIFIES YOU TO ENJOY THE RESURRECTION POWER.
- New birth. Resurrection power is the power of the Kingdom. You must be born again to experience the power of resurrection. John 1:12. Until you are born again, you are not initiated into the power of God. Colosians1:3.
John 7:38.
- Fast and pray. Deny yourself of food once in a while.
- Being addicted to the Word. When you sit with the Word of God, His face rubs on you. Hebrews 1:3.
If you want power, go for the Word. God’s Word is the reservoir of power.
Word addiction will lead to power connection. Anytime you feed on the Word, you are getting power into you. Church Gist.When you sit with God’s Word, you are changed to look like God. Staying around someone too much you will begin to have the person’s nature, when you stay with the Word of God, you become power personified.
- Resurrection has power to break the grave of failure. Matthew 27:53.
Satan has kept you bound and tell your family you can’t rise, today the chains shall be broken.
Your business has been locked, today it will be opened.
Revelation 5:12.
