Topic: HE IS ALIVE 5: We Are Empowered
MEMORY VERSE:
Matthew 28:6.
“26. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”
BIBLE READING:
Ephesians 4:8.
“8. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.”
The Death and Resurrection of our Lord and Saviour is the pivot of our walk with God. Without this sacrifice there wouldn’t have been any different from other religion. When Jesus resurrected, the scripture made it known that, He ascended up on High and led captivity captive, meaning, the hunter became the hunted and captived. He took hold of the tormentor of men, He put him under His control.
Back to when He was yet to be killed, he said to the seventy disciples,
“19. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Luke 10:19”
We are empowered to liberate the captives, and He practicalized it while on earth and during His death. He defeated the sting of Death and the grave, he captured them and made them his slave. That is what Christ has done for us, every captivity around our lives has become His captive and we are free when we have Jesus as our saviour. If you believe in Him, you have power to become the Son of God to set loose everyone captured around our life. His death set us free from captivity, Hallelujah.
Good day and God bless you.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
