Theme: Overcoming In the Evil Day
Topic: He Died and Resurrected So You Will Live
John 10:10b
I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
It is reported that in March 2004, a group of people on an expedition in Israel came up to a cave, and discovered the mangled body of a man dressed as a shepherd. His half-eaten body was lying across the mouth of the cave, and as they were examining things they began to hear the bleating of sheep inside the cave. When they drug the body away from the mouth of the cave about 100 sheep came out and stood over the body of their dead shepherd. This shepherd had moved his sheep into the cave to protect them from wolves, and then he himself was attacked and had given up his life for the sheep.
Jesus Christ, like the above mentioned shepherd, gave His life for us so we might have life and have it to the fullest (John 10:10-11). We have received power over death because He died and resurrected. When we live, we live in Him, and when we pass on, we continue to live eternally in Him (1 Thessalonians 5:10).
Do not allow the enemy to threaten you with death. The Shepherd of your soul has paid the death penalty for you to live and declare His works (Psalm 118:17). Jesus Christ has given you a full life in Him (2 Corinthians 5:15). Live and not die!
Prayer Assignment:
1. Pray that anything (ministry, family, business, etc) dying around you will receive life by the quickening of the Holy Ghost, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Scripture Reading: Philippians 3:10, Ephesians 1:17-23
