THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Volume 2, Part 11.

1Peter 2:9 (KJV) But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
1Peter 2:9; Romans 5:17; Revelation 1:5-6; 5:10; 20:6; 22:5; Mark 11:23-24; 16:15-20; 1Corinthians 12:7-11;

Today we continue our study series titled THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS to enable us to walk in the fullness of the resurrection power.

11. Leadership is a divine gift to all mankind, leadership cannot be earned. You might earn to be promoted to higher leadership positions but you can never earn to be a leader. We are not to teach people how to be or become a leader. Such concept is deceptive and of the devil who never wants men to discover their divine gifts and their divine nature. We can teach people how to become a better leader and how to discover their God given leadership potentials.

The bible says in Ephesians 1:3-5 (KJV) "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will," All spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ are leadership blessings as high as heaven is from the earth. You cannot earn them. You can earn to be promoted to higher levels of leadership by being faithful with the leadership that was given to you at a lower level.

Promotion in itself is a gift from a given authority to you. You cannot promote yourself neither can you give yourself a gift. A man can receive nothing except it is given to him by God. You cannot aspire to a position that you created, you can only aspire to a given position. Leadership are in levels as we see in Genesis 1:28 (KJV) "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."

After the fall of man and destruction of the world in the days of Noah and God told Noah to start afresh, notice that the command changed at the top. Genesis 9:1 (KJV) "And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth." You see here that God did not command them to subdue the earth and have dominion as He did with Adam. The reason being that as a result of the fall, man had lost his leadership power to subdue and have dominion to the devil. This is the reason the fallen man does not feel or see himself as a born leader hence he has to something to become one. This is also the reason behind the definition of leadership as the ability to influence.

This definition is the fallen man trying to subdue and have dominion through influence which is wrong. It is the reason people follow the 48 Laws of power to subdue and have dominion over their fellow men. Leadership is not subduing and having dominion over men and causing them to follow you. Leadership is creating opportunities for each individual to discover their divine purpose and destiny and fulfill them in God as exemplified by Christ. Leadership outside of Christ or God is bondage and death. Christ came to restore back to man his full purpose and destiny to be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, subdue it and have dominion which was lost in Adam. No unbeliever can achieve top leadership position without stealing, killing and destroying fellow men on their way to the top. James 1:17; Daniel 2:21-22; Romans 8:28-30; 11:29,36; John 1:12-13; 3:27; 8:44; 10:10; 14:13-14; Ephesians 1:19-23; Luke 10:19; Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; James 4:7; Philippians 2:5-11; 2Corinthians 4:3-4; 11:3,13-15;

The bottom line of all what we are saying is that God wants you to begin to see yourself in the eyes and light of all that the resurrection of Jesus has done for you and has made you. And no more in your fleshly natural sin nature so that you can begin to enjoy the fullness of the blessings of the mystery of the resurrection power which includes eternal life and freedom from sin, sickness, diseases, poverty, demonic oppression, fear, doubts, anxieties and death.

If you need healing the bible says In Matthew 8:17 that Jesus Himself took all our sicknesses and diseases. Therefore you can receive your healing now by faith in the name of Jesus. Just lay your hand on the affected area of your body and say this prayer. Father God in the name of Jesus I believe that Jesus died for my healing. I believe He took all my sickness and diseases on the cross. If He took them, then I cannot have them. Therefore I resist and I reject every sickness in my body and I confess Jesus today as my healer and I receive my healing now. Thank you Jesus that I am healed. 1Peter 2:24; Ps 107:20.
Now begin to do what you couldn't do before because of the sickness. You are healed in Jesus name.

Jesus is coming very soon. Are you ready? Heaven is real, hell is real. Judgement Day is coming. The time is very short. Choose Jesus today.
You can become a born again child of God today. The bible says If you shalt confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10; John 1:12.

Say this prayer: O God have mercy on me. I come to you today in the name of Jesus. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He died for me. I believe that you raised Him from the dead for my salvation. I accept Jesus in my heart today and I confess Him today as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you Father that today I am saved In Jesus name.

If you prayed this prayer of Salvation, please go to a nearby bible believing Church in your area, so you can grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus.

Grace be with you.
