THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Volume 2, Part 22.

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.

22. All leaders are led. There is no leader that is not under a leadership. Every leader has someone who is leading him and who he is following. Man was never created to be independent of leadership. The devil leads most of his followers by lying to them that they are self made leaders. All leaders are led by receiving instructions and directions from their leaders. Your leader is either God or the devil or money, power. You are either led by the Spirit or by your fleshly mind. Every mind is ruled by what you know, good or evil. You cannot create what you know. What you know is always given to you by someone through ideas. You cannot create an idea. Ideas come to you from God or the devil. Whose idea you choose is your leader.

The more you know about God the creator, the more you know about yourself and your leadership position in life above all things because you are made in the image and likeness of God. But the more you know about creation and other things, the more ignorant you become of who you are and the more bondage and servitude you put yourself. Although, outwardly your followership, money and power will decieve you that you are in leadership when in actual fact, you are a slave of the devil. Matthew 16:26 (KJV) "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"

Are you a slave leader or a free leader? Slave leaders are those led by the devil through their fleshly minds. The free leader is one led by the Spirit of God. Where the Spirit of God is there is liberty. As believers and ministers of the gospel of Christ we must make a distinction between these two kind of leaders. We are not to measure leadership by followership, money and influence. If an unbeliever is a leadership success model why be a Christian? Why did Christ border to pay such a big price for the souls of men? There is a leadership success model far more than what any multi-billionaire in the world can offer. Christ came to offer us that model. Hence as believers we must not settle for less.

As for me, no unbeliever will be richer than me before I leave this world. I know who I am in Christ Jesus. The bible says we are sitted in heaven far above all the leadership success models of this world. Greater is the leadership in you than the leadership in the whole world. The bible says of the believer and the Church in 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:" As believers we are peculiar and different so also is our leadership success model. We are here as light to show the world what true leadership and true success is, not to copy them or use them as success models. Money is not a measure success in the bible. Matthew 6:24-33; 2Corinthians 3:17; 4:3-4; John 8:44; Genesis 3:1-8; Romans 8:1-10,14; 1Peter 2:11; Ephesians 2:1-6; John 1:12-13; Galatians 5:19-20; Luke 4:18; 1John 4:4;

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.
