Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever, He is alive, He didn't pass into history, He was God in human flesh.
In Acts 1, He ascended in the presence of many, they watched a him levitate. If you saw something like that, how do you report it, who do you tell, how do you say it?
His siblings didn't believe in Him until that say, they had believed He was a miracle worker, they were glad about the miracles but then He was crucified. Some blamed him for it.
They accused Him of two things
1. Blasphemy - for claiming to be God.
2. He stole God's glory for claiming to be God, he was charged with robbery
John 18:40,
Philippians 2:5-8
Jesus didn't think it was robbery being equal with God.
Jesus was God even though He was in the flesh. He laid his reputation aside and died the death of a servant.
Those He created accused Him.
It is His joy to make men well, He loves to see you joyful, full of life. Sickness was never His plan, don't you ever accept it, never accept sickness.
John 10:10 AMPC
Can you enjoy life being sick? Jesus came so you could enjoy the life He gave you but religion doesn't tell us that.
Religion tells us to sacrifice ourselves for God, but in Christ the bible says He was sacrificed for us.
In religion, men died for God that they may please Him, in Christ He died for you and He did it to please God.
The Apostles died in their love for Jesus Christ not so they can please Him.
Today we stand for Christ irrespective of criticism and persecution, why because not so we can try to please Him but because we love Him.
Jesus came that you might have life and have it to the full. It's difficult for many people to believe that because they've lived a different life for so long and have been taught something different.
1 John 3:8
God doesn't want the devil's work to be manifest in our lives.
During the covid, some had the effrontery, the audacity and the foolishness with straight face to tell the whole world how millions of people were going to die and they were unmoved, because the love of God was not in their heart.
One of the signs that His coming is near is that, He said the Nations of the world will be deceived through the pharmaceutical industries.
Revelation 18:23
The vaccines were not produced in error, they were not a mistake, they were tested long before the time, they were proved to do exactly what they did. I am saying this to the perpetrators to repent and let God forgive you.
Human life is so important to God. Jesus Christ died for sinners, He died for us because we were valuable to God.
Who in the world has a right to say they are too many people in the world? Did you make the world? Do you know how old this world is?
No matter how rich you are, you have to right to decide that you're the one that has to feed the whole world and so because the resources are limited there should be a depopulation engagement. You're wrong.
There is more than enough for everybody.
You're not a Leader because you're better that the others, you were given the responsibility to lead not because you know the way better, it's an opportunity to bring up the best in you, not the worst
Be a light, a guide, a helper, and if you won't help, help will come from someone else and you will be ashamed of the opportunity you had. Understand very clearly how important this is.
It's a Day of Healing, a Day of repentance, a Day of freedom. Let God's Word enter your heart and when you look at people in your country, see them as those loved by God. No matter how powerful you are politically, you're still one of God's creature.
Remember this world isn't five years old, there are many generations before you.
There is a time appointed to everything of significance.
1. Jesus came to grant remission of sins
Luke 24:45-47
If He doesn't open your understanding, you will read the bible like newspaper and you'll get nothing.
2. He came to give you eternal life and righteousness
John 3:16
The moment you believe in Jesus Christ, you're impacted with that spirit, your spirit comes alive to God
Righteousness means ability to be right, do right. God can't be charged with error.
God is perfect, He is truth.
What is the Light that shines on your life? Only through Jesus can you see and know what God knows, only through Jesus can you understand from God's perspective. He is the true light.
Without Jesus, you can only live under the wrong light.
When you know Jesus, your life take on a new meaning, you're more confident in life, you live by a different set of rules, you see life differently and the things that oppress and destroy other people can't oppress or destroy you.
1John 5:11-12
If you don't have Jesus, you're living an ordinary life, you're an ordinary man. But when you have his life in you, you're like Him
1John 4:17
When you receive Christ, you receive His life, you have His nature, you become like Him.
1John 3:1-2
How can you do good deeds from a heart that is impure, it's impossible. God gave us His righteousness as a gift and then to see us through the eyes of Jesus Christ.
Until your Spirit is made righteous, you can't live a righteous life, it's impossible.
Romans 5:17
In life you'll be in dominion, not sick, afflicted and broken down and poor.
3. He came to bring us into fellowship with God and full of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus came to make it possible for us to have a relationship, a friendship with God, so we can know God.
You can't live the law of Moses, it was set aside, fulfilled and abolished.
Ephesians 2:14-15
After Christ died, He gave them a life of love with the Holy Spirit, we don't need to be commanded to love, we just love, it's in our hearts now, it's our nature, we just walk in love, we can't but love, that's the real Christian life, you're filled with love.
