THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Volume 2, Part 9.

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.

9. It is wrong for a believer to define leadership in the eyes of this fallen world of sin and depravity. It is the same as saying that God is the leader of this world. This perception of leadership is part of what has promoted atheism because who wants to worship or submit to the one who is leading this whole world that is in such a big mess. Man's definition is different from divine definition and purpose of leadership. Fallen man will naturally define terms according their master the devil. But the scriptures should always form the yardstick of definition of all things for the believer.

Leadership is not just being a president, CEO, manager, millionaire, billionaire or high social status. Leaders are born. It is absolutely impossible for a leader to be made. Made by who, or by what? Try making a goat the king of the jungle. But even the smallest lion is born to lead. No circumstance can make you a leader, just as no circumstance can make a goat the king of the jungle. No circumstance can make you what you were not created to be from the beginning, if such a thing happens it is sin. Just as we see in Lucifer who became the devil and other spirit beings who are called demons and evil spirits. Same way man became a sinner. Sin is whatever comes short of the glory God created it to have.

From the beginning God created man to lead. He made man in His image and likeness, for this very purpose that they might have dominion. Genesis 1:26 (KJV) "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." The bible says let them have dominion, not let Adam alone have dominion or let some of them have dominion. That a man is unable to fulfill his destiny of leadership does not mean he was not born to lead. Everyone is born a leader and every one leads. Money is not leadership as the devil will want all men to think.

The devil is the one making sure that man does not discover he is born to lead just like God. So he will use all the challenges of this life to lie to you, to steal, kill and destroy your leadership mentality and destiny. The devil knows any man that discovers and believes he is born to lead he the devil cannot stop him. The destiny of man from the beginning was 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." 2Corinthians 4:3-4; Ephesians 1:19-23; 2:1-6; 4:27; James 4:7; 1Peter 5:8-9; 1Timothy 6:9-11,17-19; Luke 10:19; Isaiah 14:12-14; John 8:44;

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.
