WORD OF LIFE CHURCH INTERNATIONAL: ⏩ COVENANT OF INFALLIBLE PROOFS ⏪ DAY 7 "HE IS RISEN AS HE SAID"

I. JESUS ANNOUNCED HIS RESURRECTION BEFORE HIS DEATH

When he was ministering to his disciples, many times and at various places, Jesus was announcing and prophesying his death and his resurrection.

1st instance : Matthew 16:21

"From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day."

2nd instance : Matthew 17:22-23

"And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry."

3rd instance : Matthew 20:17-19

"And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again."

II. JESUS WAS RISEN AS HE SAID

So understood, because he announced it before it happens, Jesus' resurrection was not an accident. It was not even an event that just happened. It was the confirmation of the Word Jesus spoke and declared over and over to his disciples while he was alive.

This is what we read from the angels who said to the women in Matthew 28:6,

"He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."

May I tell you today, whatever Jesus spoke to you as an individual or as a community, as he said so shall it be in your life.

No matter how long it will take, as he said so shall it be.

No matter how hard is your current situation, as he said so shall it be.

I don't care who love you or who hate you, as he said so shall it be.

No matter how hopeless or how desperate your health is right now, as he said so shall it be.

A question to you today : Do you have a Word from the Lord concerning your life?

III. WHAT TO DO?

1) DO NOT ALLOW WHAT YOU SEE OR WHAT YOU FEEL TO INTERFERE WITH YOUR FAITH IN WHAT JESUS SAID TO YOU.

I love my father Abraham who received a promise from God that he will be a father of multitudes. In the journey of his faith, Abraham learned to ignore what he sees and what he feels. He learned to never give any importance neither to consider anything else than what God spoke to hm. The end result of his faith was that as God said so was it in his life.

The Bible says this concerning him in Romans 4:19-21,

"And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform."

PRAYER 1 | FATHER, I PRAY THAT YOU WILL HELP ME TO VALUE YOUR WORD MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE SO THAT AS YOU SAY SO IT SHALL BE IN MY LIFE IN JESUS NAME!

2) YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW GOD WILL DO IT. JUST HAVE FAITH THAT HE WILL DO IT AND SO SHALL IT BE.

Although it was incredible for Mary to hear the angel telling her that she will give birth a son without a man, she never tried to figure out how God will do it. She just received the Word with faith and answered to the angel,

"I am the Lord’s servant. Let everything you’ve said happen to me" (Luke 1:38)

Likewise, no matter how incredible is or could be what God tells you, just receive it with faith and tell Him, "Let everything you’ve said happen to me". . . IT SHALL HAPPEN TO YOU AS YOU BELIEVE IN THE NAME OF JESUS-CHRIST ! ! !

PRAYER 2 | FATHER, THERE IS NO LIMIT TO WHAT YOU ARE ABLE TO DO IN OR THROUGH ME. HAVE YOUR WAY AND LET IT BE DONE AS YOU HAVE SAID IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!

JESUS IS LORD !
