THE BENEFITS OF EASTER AND THE PATHS OF LIGHT TO ETERNAL LIFE

 
April 21st and 22nd 2019

He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again” - Luke 24:6-7

The greatest mystery of God is Christ (Col. 2:2). Everything about Christ is a mystery – His birth, death, and resurrection! At every opportunity, I like to share the good news of “The mysteries of Christ" with everyone (Col. 4:3). Right now, I want to start by saying that Jesus Christ was manifested so as to destroy every work of the devil stopping us from experience life eternal. The journey back to God has always been hindered by the devil – the tempter, the lord of all negative forces working through the cross of life. The cross of life is the various problems of life to which every human being is exposed to. We are affected and glued or nailed to this cross! Nailed to the extent that we are unable to liberate ourselves easily! Only those who free themselves from the power of the cross will truly ascend back to God and be fully reconciled with our heavenly father. Jesus was nailed to the cross, He gave up the ghost, and was buried in a tomb. On the third day, Jesus was brought back to life by the power of God. In the process, He overcame the circles of life and fate by overcoming death and suffering, not just for himself, but FOR THE WHOLE WORLD. The scriptures explained that while Jesus laid lifeless in the tomb, His spirit took an inner journey across the spiritual realms, starting from hades and through all the inner gates of thrones and dominions, removing all obstacles and lighting up the inner paths so we can see and move smoothly on our journey of eternal life (1 Peter 3:18-20, Matthew 12:38-41, Romans 10:7, and Ephesians 4:7-10, John 19:30). What is very important to note is that Without the removal of these obstacles, humanity would not ascend to eternal life. Jesus died and arose from the dead about 2000 years ago. The plan of God is to make us like Jesus Christ.


Therefore, God is at work during this season, changing lives and regenerating souls. He does this in a mystery. Therefore, on this occasion of the Spring Equinox, when nature comes alive again, the church also celebrates Easter. Why? Because this is the period of the year when the heavens are opened, and the Eternal Word of God is released by God so as to resurrect all the dead aspects of nature and to rekindle the hearts of men towards higher glory. And we say Happy Easter to ALL, especially to all men and women of faith in the Eternal Word of God which became Jesus Christ. From this moment, the cross of life has become the Cross of liberation and victory! We now have a new life and glory be to God! Everywhere about us in life exists danger, confusion, and uncertainty. But the paths that lead to eternal life is clearly demarcated by the Light of Christ which shines from within you. Only by the light of Christ are we able to see through the inner paths that lead to LIFE ETERNAL. The Christ in you is the hope of eternal glory (Col. 1:26) The journey is an inner journey! It is a personal journey, for salvation is personal! Beloved, the truth remains that if you are not alive to the LIGHT OF CHRIST WITHIN YOUR HEART, YOU WILL REMAIN IN DARKNESS NOTWITHSTANDING YOUR BEING IN THE MIDST OF THE GOSPEL. If you truly understand this mystery, then you have overcome the limitations posed by the cross. You will experience the resurrection of the inner spirit, which has been held bound by the limitations posed by the cross. The soul is now free from death, and every problem posed by the devil and the cross of suffering. With the light of Christ in you, you can now navigate through the inner spiritual paths that lead to eternal life which starts from now. HAPPY EASTER BELOVED! WISHING YOU A BLISSFUL JOURNEY OF LIFE ETERNAL!


Prayer
Father in the name of Jesus Christ, today, I align with the cup of salvation; grant me a new life in Christ. Father, transform every situation in my life in consonance with thy word. Lord, I pray this day for your goodness and mercy. I shall fulfill every good work you have started in my life. I shall not lack or fall by the wayside. I shall fulfill every of your plan and purpose for me. AMEN.
