WORD OF LIFE CHURCH INTERNATIONAL: ⏩ COVENANT OF INFALLIBLE PROOFS ⏪ DAY 3 "NO POWER NO RESURRECTION"

It has taken power to raise Jesus Christ from the dead. Unless power was made available, Jesus would have remained in the grave. It is written in 1 Corinthians 6:14,

"God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power."

The power through which Jesus was resurrected was not only a simple power. Paul calls it "exceeding greatness power". We read it in Ephesians 1:19,

"And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power"

The reason why Paul calls the power of resurrection the exceeding greatness power is because all the three personalities in God (the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit ) intervened to make it happen.

It means in other words that the power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead was not simply and merely any kind of energy. No. It was the Power of the Father, the Power of the Son and the Power of the Holy Spirit altogether put at work.

1) SCRIPTURES CONFIRM THAT IT WAS THE FATHER WHO RAISED UP JESUS CHRIST FROM THE DEAD

§ Acts 2:24 whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.

§ Acts 2:32 This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses.

§ Acts 3:15 and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.

§ Acts 4:10 - the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead,

§ Acts 10:40 - Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;

§ Acts 13:30, 33, 37 - God raised him from the dead … [God] hath raised up Jesus again … he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption

§ 1 Corinthians 15:15 - we have testified of God that He raised up Christ

§ Galatians 1:1 - Paul, an apostle (… through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead)

§ 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10 - ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus

2) SCRIPTURES CONFIRM THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT INTERVENED TO RAISE UP JESUS CHRIST FROM THE DEAD.

§ Romans 1:4 PHILIPS and patently marked out as the Son of God by the power of that Spirit of holiness which raised him to life again from the dead.

§ Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

3) SCRIPTURES CONFIRM THAT JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF ALSO INTERVENED TO RAISE UP FROM THE DEAD

The power that raised Jesus Christ is not only the Power of the Father and the power of the Holy Spirit but also the Power of Jesus Christ himself. Which means that Jesus Christ himself participated in his own resurrection.

§ John 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

§ John 10:17-18 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

APPLICATION AND PRAYER

1. The same exceeding greatness power God availed to raise Jesus Christ from the dead is also made available by God for you in Christ through the Holy Spirit to bring back to life anything dead in your life, to break barriers, to destroy limitations, as it is written in Romans 8:11

"But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you."

PRAYER | Father, thank you for your exceeding greatness of your power available for me in Christ. I pray that that power will be manifest in my life, breaking barriers, destroying limitations and positionning me on high in the Name of Jesus Christ!

2. The same way the Lord instructed Ezekiel in Ezekiel 37:4, "Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.", the same way the Lord instructs you today to prophesy upon everything dry in your life.

PRAYER | Father, according to your Word, I prophesy today upon everything dry in my life and I declare,
