THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Part 54. Genesis 2:17 (KJV) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. 2Timothy 1:10 (KJV) But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: John 10:10; Hebrews 2:14-15; Revelation 1:18; Philippians 1:20-23; 1Corinthians 15:54-57; 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. 62. Spiritual Death in man is only temporary as there is provision for redemption, atonement and propitiation through the blood of Jesus. Only blood can pay the price of sin because without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. Fortunately only man has blood, spirits like all evil spirits have no blood so there can be no redemption, atonement and propitiation for their sins. Since by the sin and spiritual death of one man Adam that death entered into world, the blood, righteousness and life of one man Jesus can also redeem all men and pass unto all men spiritual life again. Hence Jesus said in John 10:10 (KJV) "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." In John 11:25-26 (KJV) "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?" Also John 3:16 (KJV) "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Every man is born into this world spiritually dead. Spiritual Death among men is not normally a result of your personal sin. Spiritual Death is a state of being, it is not something you become by your decisions and actions but it is something you can overcome by your personal decisions and actions towards Jesus Christ the REDEEMER of all spiritually dead men. No other action can get you out of spiritual death except the acceptance of the redemption work of the blood of Jesus on your behalf. When you accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour your spirit is recreated to a new spirit. Recreated from the dead spirit of all descendants of Adam to a new and living spirit of all the descendants of Jesus Christ. Since spiritual death was not a result of your sins but the sin of Adam, so also you cannot receive spiritual life as a result of your righteousness but the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus is what has provided victory and authority over spiritual death. As a result now all believers in Jesus Christ are now spiritually alive but all unbelievers are still spiritually dead. Having overcome spiritual death even though we die physically we shall never die eternally rather we shall live eternally. For in Christ Jesus we have received eternal life or the everlasting life of God. When you have eternal life you have overcome death forever. We now have the same life that God has, instead of the life of the devil we had under spiritual death. This eternal life is available free for all and that is why we are freely teaching, preaching and sharing this good news of salvation in Christ Jesus to all men including you. Accept Jesus today and receive eternal life. Romans 5:12-21; Galatians 4:4-7; Leviticus 17:11; Hebrews 9:22; John 1;12-13; 3:3-5,16; 2Timothy 1:10; 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. 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. Pastor Ornu Somba
