Good-Life Devotional : THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD

Sep , 2023

  

By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi 

Matthew 22:23 "The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,”  

   When a corn seed is planted, it goes into a process of complete decay and something amazing happens: out of the decayed material emerges a new crop according to its genetic code. The genetic code did not die with the other parts of the seed. If it did something else would have emerged.  This is one of the many mysteries of life on earth and it gives us a clue of what happens at death .Resurrection means "to come alive again."

        Life is a continuum . Daniel 12:2 TLB "And many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt.” . Human beings consist of three parts - a spirit, a soul, and a body (1 Th.5:23). The body is mortal while the spirit and soul are immortal. It is just like a mobile phone which consists of three parts: a hardware, software and an invisible electromagnetic network. A destroyed handset does not mean the end of the designer’s software program  and the electromagnetic forces that power the phone. 

           At death, the body goes through the natural law of decomposition process and returns to its original earthly elements. On judgment day, the soul and spirit of the departed are summoned   from either it’s heavenly domain or domain of Satan and his disciples (hell). At resurrection, the material elements of the body are regenerated from the earth , raised up and united with the spirit and soul. Each reconstituted personality will be identifiable and consistent with their historical earthly traits. Everyone comes back to life again and those who despised Christ will be eternally damned Revelation 21:8 NLT” But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars — their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

       Believing in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and accepting Him as lord and saviour guarantees us a life of joyful bliss eternally with a completely regenerated celestial, glorious, immortal, heavenly body thus completing the redemptive work of Christ on that individual   .

    Without the resurrection process  we are hopeless and most miserable of men and our faith is dead. It is the hallmark of the born again experience. (  1 Corinthians 15:12-17)  .The driving force behind the Christian life is born out of the resurrected life of Jesus Christ transforming us in the course of time into the very image of God . You are being transformed from glory to glory even as we await that final day in hope .

Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Ghost and  resurrection power for healing in my  body, finances,  relationship, marriage and freedom from Satanic bondage in Jesus name.
