My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of 1 Peter 1:4 , ” To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you. Who are kept by the power of God, through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.’’
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, From the above verse we come to know through Peter that we are born again to a living hope. we are also born again to an inheritance. Because in Christ we have become heirs of god’s endless fortunes. Paul says that we have received the spirit of adoption, and that we cry Abba father. It is this spirit that makes us the heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ himself.
Our Lord Jesus Christ swallowed death victoriously and rose again from the dead. He has kept an imperishable crown for us. A crown of glory is awaiting us. A precious and pure crown that does not fade away. Every child is born from heaven and is formed in the womb with his hidden treasure. Such a child having completed his days on the earth and when a day comes, he closes his eyes forever. God awaits with an unfading crown in heaven to receive him. And we have become eligible for the crown because of the death of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cruel cross of Calvary. He was buried and on the third day He rose again victoriously. By this act of Jesus Christ we have the access to enter in to His glory to receive the unfading crown.
Paul while writing to Peter in His epistle says, we have a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. We need to receive the crown of glory and live as a new creation. For the bible says, if anyone is in Christ He is a new creation old things have passed away behold all things have become new. We need to put on the garment of resurrection, a garment of victory, a garment of anointing. The power of His resurrection will fall upon each one of you from this day onwards.
You will see the power of His resurrection at your work place. you will witness the power of His resurrection in your business centre, you will witness a great power of His resurrection in your ministry. Your life should not be based on the perishable things on the earth, but you must consider the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, So you need to set your mind on the things above and not on things on the earth. May the risen Lord reign in your hearts now and forever. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank you for Your death on the Cross whereby we are saved. We also thank You because you are a Resurrected God and this is the authority that God has given to every one of us. Let the power of resurrection fall upon each and every one who believes in You Lord.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
