Easter Celebration-The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ Is For Your Victory

Is the resurrection of Jesus Christ worth celebrating this Easter celebration? Yes, more than you can imagine. It was a spiritual victory that affects everything that happens to you as a Christian spiritually, physically, emotionally and mentally. It is your victory over all oppression of the devil. This post enlightens you more on this victory.

For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ - Romans 5:17 (NKJV).

I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death - Revelation 1:18 (NKJV).

Easter season comes and goes without many people realizing the effect of the price Jesus paid and they end up not exercising their faith in the finished work of Christ in order to reap the benefits. All that Adam lost to the devil were fully restored at the resurrection of Christ.

Adam was made to be in charge of the earth (Genesis 1:28) but he disobeyed God and obeyed the devil and in the process handed over all the power and authority given to him by God to the devil (Luke 4:6), thereby making the devil the god of this world. Adam's action led to his spiritual death. It stripped him naked and chased him out of abundance. He was totally defeated. However, God immediately planned for his restoration, such that all that the enemy took from man were to be fully restored back.

Only a man was qualified to take back all from the devil (Romans 8:3-4) because Adam (man) willingly sold out and the tenure of man had not run out. During temptation of Jesus, the devil stated that it was given to him legally, so he had right to it. But when Jesus, in form of man got to hell He legally took them all back (Matthew 28:18) because He paid fully with His righteous blood (Colossians 1:14). Read more...

The Benefits Of Having Jesus Christ Indwelling You

Do you have Jesus Christ inside of you? When you have Jesus you have everything, He is the greatest asset to have in life. As a child of God, the greatest news is that He dwells in you. This post gives the benefits of having Christ dwelling within you.

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world - I John 4:4 (NKJV).

For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power - Colossians 2:9-10 (NKJV).

But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God - I Corinthians 1:24 (NKJV).

What kind of life are you expected to live and enjoy having received Jesus as your saviour? The answer is the life of Jesus. God expects you to live as a son of God on earth being co-heir with Christ (Romans 8:17). This is possible if you understand and believe in what it means to have Jesus dwelling within you and you activate it by faith. He is in you fully with all that He is, not just a part of Him. Truly, when you have Jesus you have everything. Now, it doesn't mean that you will not have challenges. It means that when these challenges come, victory is surely yours because of Christ in you. In-fact, challenges are opportunities to show case who you carried inside of you at redemption, they are not meant to drown or overcome you.

Who indwelt you at redemption and the benefit

1. The greater one (1 John 4:4)

Jesus is greater than the devil that is in the world. When you are carrying the greater one and you walk in the knowledge of it, who is it that will challenge you and win? An understanding of this gives you the overcomer's mentality. The greater one is inside of you!

2. The fullness of the Godhead (Colossians 2:9)

In Christ dwells the fullness of God bodily and He is in you fully. This means all of God is in you. Try to imagine who you are carrying: the creator of the whole universe, the Almighty God, the healer, the provider, refuge, strong tower, wonderful, counsellor, etc. This is true; God is fully inside of you.
