Resurrection

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

“Now if Christ be preached that He rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?” 1 Corinthians 15v12 (KJV)

Have you ever thought about what happens after death? Some people believe that one is reincarnated, and would come back again to life. Some have said resurrection has already taken place while some believe that there is no resurrection from the dead at all. Acts 23v8 (NIV) says “(The Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, and that there are neither angels nor spirits, but the Pharisees believe all these things.)” Even today, some fail to acknowledge that there is a spiritual world which affects what is happening in the physical. But the truth is that there are angels, and there are demons, and there is the resurrection of the dead. Jesus is risen. Acts 17v30-32 (NIV) tells us that “In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent. For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead. When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some of them sneered, but others said “We want to hear you again on this subject.””

“But avoid all empty (vain, useless, idle) talk, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness. And their teaching [will devour; it] will eat its way like cancer or spread like gangrene. So it is with Hymenaeus and Philetus, Who have missed the mark and swerved from the truth by arguing that the resurrection has already taken place. They are undermining the faith of some. But the firm foundation of (laid by) God stands, sure and unshaken, bearing this seal (inscription): The Lord knows those who are His, and, Let everyone who names [himself by] the name of the Lord give up all iniquity and stand aloof from it.”  2 Timothy 2v16-19 (AMP)

Prayer

Father we thank You. We thank You because we know You. We thank You because Jesus is resurrected and one day we Your children shall be as well. Thank You Most High God. We pray You will send labourers into Your vineyard in Jesus name, amen.
