The Resurrection & The Life

 John 11:1-44

Our text passage is an interesting, informative, and empowering one with lengthy verses.

It is a story from the scriptures that proves to us that it is not the ending of a matter if God does not end the matter.

It reveals that an issue may seem a particular way, it does not mean it has to be that way.

This is because God has a different perspective to man, for this reason the things that are seen are subject to change through God.

Physical things are temporal, that includes your challenges, difficulties, and setbacks.

2 Corinthians 4:18

Where man sees impossibilities God sees possibilities, where man sees challenges God sees opportunities.

Where man sees an end, God sees a new beginning.

Where man puts a full stop, God puts a comma.

Lazarus was a friend of Jesus as well as his two sisters Mary and Martha but something tragic and difficult happened.

Challenges do not mean God is not with you.

Challenges can come to those who are in the Lord.

That you're facing a challenge does not mean God is not with you or God is against you.

Facing a tough or rough season does not mean you don't have a relationship with the Lord.

What a privilege it is to be a friend of Jesus Christ.

The best thing that can happen to you is to have Jesus on your side, Jesus in your corner, Jesus as your friend.

Lazarus knew Jesus, he had a friendship with the 'resurrection and the life' and he benefitted from it.

I pray you benefit from having or starting a relationship with Jesus the Christ today.

When it looked like it was all over for Lazarus who had been dead for four days, Jesus proved it wasn't over yet.

He called Lazarus out of death, out of the grave, and Lazarus stepped out of the tomb.

Death was defeated, life prevailed concerning Lazarus.

This is what Jesus does.

It glorifies God!

Jesus proved He is the resurrection and the life!

He is the resurrection and the life for all situations and aspects of life.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
