I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20)

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Jesus Christ is risen and He is risen indeed! Mary Magdalene the first to meet with the Risen LORD Jesus Christ. Simon Peter and John in John 20 could also not find His body in the empty tomb, but He later appeared to them and the other disciples when He walked into the room where they were keeping through closed doors...

Today I want to tell you that Jesus Christ is actually alive in you if you have accepted Him as LORD as LORD and Saviour of your life. When He died at the Cross, it was you who died to sin in Him and when he rose from the dead, from the dead on Easter day, it was you who was raised to a new life in Him. Sin and death no longer have any dominion over you.

Jesus conquered them in you at the Cross and through His resurrection. The devil and all his principalities were completely defeated in Him. Jesus Christ made you an overcomer, a victor and more than a conqueror. When Jesus Christ was buried and was in that tomb for the three days, it was you and I who lay in that tomb because Jesus Christ the Son of God did it for us. He went to Hades to recover the keys which had been stolen by the devil from Adam in Genesis 3. When Jesus Christ rose this Easter day, He opened the way for you and I to the Father in Heaven. This is why in John 14:6 He declares,

I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

His crucifixion, burial and Resurrection from the dead was the process through which God made us into a new creation in Jesus Christ. We were converted from the sinful nature into a new Creation in Jesus Christ. Sin is the nature of the devil and righteousness is the nature of God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says,

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

It is sad that many children of God have not grasped the new creation concept as they continue to hold on to their old nature and this is the reason why so many Christians continue to suffer so much. As children of God we ought to walk as Christ walked, talk as He talked and pray as He prayed. You must allow that same Spirit that raised Jesus’ dry bones from the dead to give life to your bones, your flesh and your every situation. Let His Word be the standard of your life for it is only through His Word and by His Spirit that God is able to transform you just He transformed His Son from death to life. Today I am therefore saying to you, do not just celebrate Easter like the people of the world do, but do it with revelation and illumination which comes from the Word of God. Alleluia!!!
