FOCUS ON THE POWER OF RESURRECTION
Introduction part: by Awotiku Akinlayo David
Wonders kept rushing into my mind on the funny mysteries that Christians are now adding to the mysteries of the bible, the mysteries of the bible on His own is enough to find in a lifetime, the more we unleash them the more we see more mysteries, we can never exhaust them but that is not my point in this article. I kept coming across people talking about “the power that rolled the stone away from Jesus’ tomb” and they would raise different kinds of irrelevant prayer points in it. Well… my own bible didn’t record if there is any special power that rolled away the stone. From all the 4 gospels, 3 of them said they just discovered that the stone has been rolled away as at that morning, except for our bros, Brother Matthew was a powerful researcher, he must have found out what really happened from the security unit of the tomb and that’s why he further explained that ‘there was an earthquake, he saw the angel descending from heaven, rolled the stone away and sat on it,’ it isn’t logical to just said he saw exactly as everything were happening when others said they only discovered on that morning, hence it has already happened before anyone ever find out at all. This can make us assume there was a power at work at that time in which we might be correct, I don’t dispute that fact, but it’s a normal thing for such happening when there is a great purpose that needs to be fulfilled, extraordinary events are normal things for matured Christians so we should not create any further mystery to it because it was just one power at work and the stone wanted to block it so it had to be rolled away to give way for a fulfillment of the purpose, scriptures or prophecy. The power at work is the power of resurrection, it should be our focus, what kind of power it is? Who sourced and used the power? What was it used for and how can we relate this power to work in our life? These are salient questions that should keep flooding our mind to be eager to get answers to, but instead we see people raising prayer points like ‘Is there any stone that has been rolled over my glory or rolled to block my door of greatness, the power that rolled away the stone of Jesus’ tomb, let it roll away the stones now in Jesus name’ and you will see people praying passionately and with high level of seriousness, the whole of their body will be shaking up and down aggressively like a vibrating machine (I laugh). Mummy! Daddy! Calm down, let’s review this together, Jesus is our glory (1Thess.2:20), we are great the moment we know our God individually (Dan.11:32) so it’s normal for Christians to do greater exploits for Christ. Therefore you should know that no one can roll any stone against Jesus in your life except yourself, I will tell you the reason behind this statement later on in this article.
