THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Volume 2, Part 32.

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.

32. The wisdom of this world, money, fame and power can never make you a leader. Nothing carnal or of the flesh can make you a leader. Whatever makes you a leader order than God has become your god and your idol. Whatever makes you a leader is what you worship. Leadership is of the spirit and only in Christ Jesus. In Christ Jesus we can be rich, wealthy, famous and powerful but that is not what makes us leaders. It is our new life in Christ that makes us leaders. As a believer in Christ Jesus you are born a leader and the owner of all things. It is not what you own that makes you a leader. Many believers are not able to have riches, wealth, fame or power because like the world they think these things are what will make them leaders. Such thought is called coveteousness or idolatry.

Whatever makes you a leader has become your god because only God makes leaders. Believing that leaders are made will lead you into coveteousness and idolatry. But believing in Christ Jesus you are born a leader is of faith and of the Spirit. We walk by faith and not by sight. If any physical thing in this world is what makes you a leader you are not walking by faith by sight. That a believer does not look like, talk like or act like a leader does not mean he is not a leader. We are only what the word of God says we are, not what we see or feel or hear.

Leaders are not led by money. A leader does not do things because he has the money or because he believes he can do it or that he believes in himself. True leaders are led by the Spirit through the word of God. Leaders are to act only according to the word of God not according to their self belief, ambition, vision, favourable circumstances or because of money. A leader does not depend on money. A leader does not act according to the availability of money. A leader that depends on money is serving money, mammon and is coveteous. In fact such a leader is not a leader but a slave or money. Whatever you do outside of Christ and the word of God you are in slavery no matter how physically successful it may be. In the spirit you are a slave in bondage bound in chains.

Leadership is taking responsibility of what God has committed into your hand to make it profitable unto God. Not to make it profitable for yourself or for someone else. Not to influence people to follow you. Leaders are accountable. Leaders are accountable to the one who sent them. All leaders are supposed to be accountable to God who sent you into this world. You did not give birth to yourself, you did not keep yourself alive or raise yourself. A leader that is not accountable to God is in rebellion. Never follow a leader who is not accountable to God else he will lead you astray subtly. Romans 8:1-17,29-30,37; 11:36; 2Corinthians 5:7,10; Revelation 20:1-15; Psalm 24:1-2; Matthew 6:24-33; Colossians 2:9-10; 3:5; 1Timothy 6:9-10,17-18; Deuteronomy 28:1-14; Acts 17:28; 1John 4:4; Hebrews 1:1-3;

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.
