THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Volume 2, Part 24.

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.

24. A leadership has no purpose but that given to him by God. A leader has no dream but that given to him by God. A leader has no work or assignment but that given to him by God. The primary drive of a leader is to daily seek to know the will of God and do them just as Jesus did. The bible says Joshua 1:8 (KJV) "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." This is the beginning and end of leadership.

Leadership is measured by your followership of God not by people following you, societal approval, money or wealth. Such is the deception of this world. It is like the story of a wizard that was told in their spiritual meeting to kill his only son and he will be promoted and given a golden crown and a golden car worth millions naira. He killed his only son and was crowned and given the golden car in a lavish ceremony in the spirit world. At the end of the ceremony, with the crown on his head, he wanted to drive to car into reality but was disappointed to find himself awake sitting on a plantain stem as the golden car and wearing dried plantain leaves on His head as the golden crown.

Such is the lie of the influential leadership and influential leaders in this world. At the end they will die with nothing and end up in hell. Do not follow any man or any leader because of his financial, material or social influence. Follow on one who is not following God. Success is not a journey without a destination. Success is a journey to a given destination. It is not a journey to a chosen destination. A man on a journey without a destination is said to be lost. That is why God calls the unbeliever the lost because the devil is taking them on a journey without telling them the destination. Every success has destinations, but the final destination is heaven or hell. Romans 8:28; 9:11,17; Isaiah 14:24,27; 46:9-12; Ephesians 1:11; Matthew 10:28; 11:28-30; 15:24; 16:24-26; 18:11; 19:21; 25:30; 28:18-20; John 8:44; 2Corinthians 4:3-4; Colossians 3:1-5; Luke 15:6-32; 16:19-31; Mark 8:36; 10:21; John 8:12; 10:1-18,27; 1Corinthians 11:1; Revelation 1:18;

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.
