The Power of the Cross.

And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5 And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but has risen. 

Luke 24:2-6 (ESV)

We preach Christ crucified. As you go about everything you are doing this next few days, you need to think of the power on the cross. God is our healer and the power of the cross and resurrection can and will heal. The essence of Easter is the way that Christ brings to all; the Lord will make a way out of every situation we might find ourselves.

I want to assure you that God can do only what He has said He will do. This is a day of celebration and thanksgiving. Talk to God this Easter morning with everything that you have, tell Him all the things that you are going through and all the things that you need. Put your head on God’s shoulder this morning and talk to Him the only way that you can and in a way that you can have a conversation with Him.

Ask Him to come into your life and bring about the change that only He can bring. Have the expectation that He will speak and listen attentively to hear. Expect Him to heal, bless, forgive and bring about a change in your life. Bow your heart and soul before Him who says it is finished and finished the enslavement of sin in the lives of men.

If you are here today and you want to have a new start, to reconnect with Jesus. If you want God to bring about a special change that ensures that all hold of the devil upon your life is broken, He is asking you to come today. Open your heart and allow Jesus to come in and take His place. Let Him fill your life with the power of His resurrection. Come and meet Him that the foot of the empty tomb. The tomb is empty, Jesus has risen as the prophets have foretold. God himself is waiting for you and come rise in victory with Him even on a resurrection morning like this.

Father Lord we thank you, we truly bless and glorify your name. Your sacrifice over the life of your own will not be in vain.

The Power of His Resurrection

"For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness."  2 Samuel 22:29

It's Palm Sunday!! A day of great power-------- a day marked as that of triumph, triumphant entry into Jerusalem by Christ over 2,000 years ago in readiness for his resurrection that gives us power over sin and the works of sin.

The power of resurrection is the ability and energy we have through Christ to control situations; the energy to change the lives of the people around us and bring them to the love of God. It is the power to live as a reflection of God through Christ Jesus. It is the power to live in holiness and in truth; to do the right thing.

The power of living for Christ gives us the strength that the believer needs to be able to succeed in his Christian life.

A lot of us are afraid of so many things - the dark, financial handicap, poverty, greatness, been single, plagues and so many of those things that befalls man. It is fear and lack of power that makes man to give up hope and life. It i this lack of power that makes us to give up that most precious gift that God has given us - our life.

Having the power of His resurrection gives us victory over fear and instead of fear we have strength and hope to live and celebrate each day though the great Grace of God.

The power of resurrection gives the believer the power to grow our faith and hope in Christ Jesus. The power of resurrection gives us peace - a peace that no man or thing in this world can never give. This power gives us the strength to move.
