THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Volume 2, Part 20.

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.

20. As I have mentioned earlier leadership is not about the followership of men. Leadership is about following God. The bible says as many as are led by the Spirit are the sons of God. This means only those who are led by the Spirit are true leaders. God is a spirit. To be led by the Spirit is to depend and make all your decisions and actions by the instructions of the Spirit and the word of God. A leader that is not born again has a dead spirit and cannot be led by the Spirit. A leader that has a dead spirit is dead and in bondage of the devil. If you are not led by the Spirit, you are led by the flesh. Only those led by the spirit are sons of God, those not led by the spirit are slaves of the devil.

So leadership is not about who is following you and how many people are following you. Leadership is about who you are following. Who you are following determines who is following you and what is following you. If you are following an unbeliever you are following the devil, as a result sin, carnality, lusts and love of money will follow you. A true leader does not do anything to make money. If your purpose and motivation for anything is to make money, you are being led by money and the spirit of money called mammon. A son is a free leader, a slave is a bond leader. A son will set you free. A slave will put you in bondage. If you are following an unbeliever because he is a billionaire and successful in businesses, you are a slave, you are on a journey from one level of bondage to another level of bondage thinking you are free.

Money does not make you free, money does not make you a leader. Success does not make you free, success does not make you a leader. Money and success will make you a bigger slave. It is all a fleeting illusion pursued but never attained. Why do you think the wealthy and the very rich today hate God, Christ and Christianity. It is because they know Christianity is the knowledge that will set free the millions of people who are slaves to them. If they lose their slaves and the slavery system they become a nobody. Christianity is giving birth to leaders and making all men know they are created leaders by God in Christ not slaves to men, money, lusts, and the devil.

The leadership system of the world today which is called influence is built on slavery and making people slaves to men, money, lusts and the devil. Every leader today is looking for followers or slaves to serve his plan, purpose and pursuit. Today's leaders after they have enslaved and exploited the people, they set up a foundation and say they want to give back to the society what they stole or took by lies and trickery. Jesus did not come to give back to society, neither is the Church here to give back to society. Jesus and the church are here to give birth to a new nation and a new people in the leadership image and likeness of God who is the Ultimate Leader. Romans 8:1-10,14-27; John 3:3-8; 4:24; 8:32,36,44; 10:10; 14:6; Joshua 1:7-8; Psalm 1:1-3; Matthew 6:23-24; 1John 2:15-17; Ephesians 2:1-3,11-12; 1Timothy 6:9-12,17-19; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20;

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.
