EASTER BEYOND: The Power of His Resurrection
May I crave your indulgence; this is my
revelation on Resurrection. And my experiences and pursuit for purpose handed this
revelation to me, so accessibly.
So much is being said about Easter, logically,
categorically, theologically, educationally, psychologically and religiously.
Well, my thought today is neither to debunk people’s perception about the
approaching season nor to commend any of these schools of thoughts but to tell
you my experience and personal revelation about Easter.
Firstly, I am delighted to have the opportunity
to express myself. Thank God for His inspiration for the lives of many to
discover and create platforms where I can express myself without any one’s
validation or interference. Yeah, I mean I am going to put this up on my
timeline for me and like minds to read and continue to grow to full measure of
grace.
Resurrection by dictionary definition is bringing
to life or rising from dead whereas my definition is a translation from
ignorance, death or darkness to knowledge or light or life.
According to 1Peter 2:9 we were all once in
darkness, it wasn’t by choice even though we could have run in there ignorantly
but we kept hearing from childhood that we inherited wickedness and sinfulness
from one man and then much longer another brave man defied the inheritance upon
us and handed us another inheritance of grace and goodness. Therefore, a
translation being made at every stage of our knowledge. The choices we make as
a family, individual, corporate body and as social groups are bi-facial; these
choices determine the results we get. Results of resurrection or results to
show that we are still ‘dead’.
I love it when I am under the auspices of
fantastic men of God who help me flash the touch to direct me but then again, I
want to decipher for myself if where you are pointing the touch at is really
where I want to go and the big question is how do I discern that my
resurrection is sure and not that I am swiftly lifted to be dropped again. I
want to be resurrected and not gratified instantly.
A man could be dead and when lifted briskly, it
could be misconstrued from a distance that he is back to life and probably
waiting on treatment to be stable and having other senses functioning properly,
not realizing that he was perhaps handled that way to be confirmed dead.
Your source determines the authenticity of your
resurrection EXPERIENCE. For it is written, ‘if the Spirit of Him who raised
Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will
also give life to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who lives in you’.
You can come back to life and not sustained to live, you can be brought out of
darkness and brought to a false light, it is possible as it exists to be
brought out of darkness into a less glorious light or a phony light.
These
sounds nothing like the resurrection I want neither for myself nor for my
friends. I go for the real deal. Your resurrection status quo should reflect
your source, like showing forth His praise. When you are resurrected, a CPR was
done and that couldn’t have been possible without a breath, and that breath is
what granted you admission into resurrection. He replaced your natural life
with his supernatural and your ordinary life with his super ordinary and that
begins and ends the translation.
I will not mention resurrection without a
thought on purpose. Have you asked yourself as I have why he took the pains,
shame, reproach and stripes to be resurrected so that the power will be given
to us? Why do we often celebrate His resurrection, why drink the blood and eat
the bread which signifies His flesh and blood, why do all of this? Well, I
thought about this and I got a perfect answer, it is sternly for purpose sake.
According to 1 Peter 1:2 “who through the purpose of God have been made holy by
the spirit, disciples of Jesus, made clean by His blood. May you have grace and
peace in full measure”.
I was sleeping when I woke up with a revelation
‘KNOW GOD BY YOURSELF’. These still stirs strongly on my inside even as I write,
and I engaged resurrection of purpose to lead me on to sanctify, purify and
exonerate me. Purpose is vast; you could never see anyone write all that there
is to purpose. I really think it should be an institution; something like
“GLOBAL INSTITUTION OF PURPOSE”, and strongly believe that cap will help. I am
amazed at the daily and hourly revelations of purpose. Even on scribbling this
thought of mine, purpose elongated this piece else it should just be a
sentence. Arrrhhh!
Joseph, Daniel, Paul, Mary Magdalene, Peter and
the likes had serious personality issues, like citizens you could say; nah! That
one says he is a follower of that pastor but he just denied him, she is a
harlot hmmm! Not clean, he persecuted people, he is an ex-convict, she is too
spiritual yet unable to defend herself, and you see it’s interesting because
these cited examples abound even to date. That pastor was accused, how he could
do that, how could he allow single ladies to visit his office, he cannot be
called by God etc.
But I am so glad my quest got me an answer. The
essence of resurrection is maximized in purpose and purpose defines,
identifies, sanctifies, and exonerates you. Abraham’s purpose granted him
righteousness, Paul’s brokenness on discovering purpose translated everything
about him by handing him a refined script.
And the very unbelievable one is Mary Magdalene.
You see what I realized. When the mobs who represents the world and its
entirety; the need for validation, the pressure of life, recession, rudiments
of this World, handwriting of ordinances, traditions of men, philosophies of
men, ideology and thesis of men to control and accuse her. As she got broken
and fagged out with the circumstances, they navigated her towards her
redemption and she consequently discovered her purpose. On attaining her
redemption no one was left standing to forthwith accuse her. And then again, I
did realize that redemption allows purpose to be expressed and when it is
expressed you find liberty, freedom, in purpose.
All I have been saying is for the eyes of your
understanding to be enlightened so that you understand that this is beyond the
traditional and religious caption “Easter”. This is a clarion call to discover
the whole essence of Christ death and resurrection; one with a difference
because an understanding is attached.
No longer will I be oblivious of the magnitude of
grace adopted from this singular act of a noble and brave man. He is royalty
but offered to strip Himself of that glory to see purposes be expressed on the
surface of the earth and when you dare to stumble, or get drained, he died and resurrected
so that we might be resurrected in Him, businesses will resurrect, purposes
will resurrect, marriages will resurrect, institutions will resurrect, minds
will be transformed to the knowledge of God. Destinies will resurrect, you just
begin to decree the resurrection power of Christ into that area of concern and
feel it translate right now. Well the application of this knowledge is power,
so use it for you and your generation.
Happy Resurrection/Redemption friends, do what
is in your heart to acknowledge this season. Your purpose, identity and
originality in Christ will inspire you to give a gift that will be uniquely appreciated;
it could be evangelizing lost souls
for the Kingdom of our Lord JESUS CHRIST as the demand is placed on every
living spirit. It could be visiting a
brother or a sister to remind them of the common Love we share as one body and
it could be celebrating big time with
friends and family. But, anything that will reflect such a noble thing that he
has done not to defame the essence.
Where are the women? All my thoughts are
primarily for you, do well to consume wholesomely. #BecomingAWoman #TGC #WDF
