2 Corinthians 4:7-10 (KJV)
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
First, let’s redefine what death is, the scripture above says “sentence of death and also bearng in our body the dying of our Lord Jesus”.
In Bible Study, first reference or first mention gives you at least 70% thought of that subject.
Death to many people is ceasation of life, but death is not just about physical death, there’s more to death than physical death.
By the first law of mention, The first time death is used in the Bible, it was used when Adam and Eve ate the from the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis 2:17 (KJV)
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Did they die physically? Man didn’t die physically until 900 years after they ate the fruit, but they died that very day.
Death is a not just a ceceasion of life, it is a disconnection from source and sustenance of life.
Spiritual death is greater than physical death. Spiritual death is the total separation of man from God, by spiritual death, man will never be united with his maker; he’s forever annihilated.
In Christ Jesus spiritual death has been defeated. Satan has disarmed, disgraced and dethroned!
By the once and for all sacrifice of Jesus on our behalf, man will never be separated from God anymore; the obedience of Christ has met all demands of justice and appeased God’s wrath on man!
If you ever grasp the weight of what Jesus did in his suffering, death, burial and resurrection, we ought to throw a party everyday.
Now listen, the life of Jesus is made manifest through death situations you overcome, that is, whenever you come face to face with near death experiences, difficult challenges and awful circumstances; we bring forth and introduce life to every death situation; we are life givers!
The process of life is that death must happen before life. The essence of this death is that we should not trust in ourselves;
When resurrection of happens it does not come back to the former body, God gives it a new body, this is how the mercy and grace of God works! What ever brought you down can not have a hold on you again.
Psalm 34:5 (KJV)
They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
Stop being angry that they left and depressed about that situation; all you need is to allow the resurrection power kick into that situation, and the life of God will be manifested in it.
DECLARATION
I have passed from death to life, Satan is deafeated and disarmed. I am a master over every situation. I bring life, restoration and renewal to all circumstances. Glory to God!
