FOCUS ON THE POWER OF RESURRECTION
Continuation. By Awotiku Akinlayo David.
The issue we are supposed to handle is how we will live our life in a way that people will glorify God, we keep struggling to live out Christ with our normal human strength, power, might and ability, yes we have the Holy Spirit in us but we have decide to give Him something else to work on when He has been assigned to us by God to help us in our conformation into Christ and help us mortify the flesh and subdue it. Yes! We are the light because we have the light in us through Holy Spirit but we have hidden our light under a bushel (Matt.5:14-16), we made Holy Spirit inactive. Let me tell you this “if you are not expressing the light then you are enjoying the night.” If we look critically into the chapter three of the letter of Paul to the Philippians, (Vs 3&4) Paul clearly told them that they can’t save themselves, they should not have confidence in the flesh, the funny part was that he stressed more that he would have been the first person to be saved if that is how it works, looking at those things he has done as he has mentioned in verse 5-6. You can’t be righteous by what you do but you are holy and so you should live out righteousness that has been imputed in us by faith through Jesus Christ alone and that is the light we are talking about.
These teaching led Paul into further adding that he always have faith in Christ and that he may know him, and the power of his resurrection. This is where my focus has been drifted to and this should be our focus also, power of His resurrection is a mighty power that can never be fully unveiled in a little time, you keep knowing and knowing more of the power and utilize them correctly, so think of such power. His resurrection was not a carnal one neither was it just natural or ordinary, it is far beyond that, it was a power at work. Power in physics is define as the ability to do work, so the power was working and still working till today, it’s not dormant even after the resurrection of Jesus. The thing is just that when he wanted to start working, the stone was trying to block the work not only with the stone power but with the hatred of the Pharisees, little did they understand that the power is unstoppable or unquenchable because it was sourced by an extraordinary and supernatural being which is God Himself.
Final part is coming
