John 14:19(AMP)
After a little while the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; because I live, you will live also.
From our anchored Scripture, Jesus Christ assures us that because He lives, we also will live. Although the wages of sin is death, the gift of God for all those who believe in Jesus Christ is eternal life. Apostle Paul’s testimony in 1 Corinthians 15:54-57 also assures us that death has been conquered for us. The death of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary and His resurrection marked the end of our defeat. If we will partake of His Glory, we must not be discouraged in our walk of faith with God because Christianity as a system of truth collapses if the resurrection of Jesus is rejected. You must have the assurance in your heart that Jesus Christ, Who is your Redeemer is Alive and because He is Alive, you shall also live and your faith is not in vain.
There are some who are at the point of giving up their faith, they are no longer excited about their confession of faith in Jesus Christ. Some have fainted in their spirit, and their level of commitment has waned. If you are in such situation, the Holy Spirit in Hebrew 10:38-39 says this to you: “Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.” Know that the just shall live by faith and without faith, it is impossible to please God. You need to have faith in Jesus, the Redeemer of mankind. He lives forever more and no situation is beyond Him. Every delay you have experienced is just to make your testimony more glorious. Job 19:25 says “But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and he will stand upon the earth at last.” Job looked around and saw no one standing with him except his God. He confidently proclaimed that his Redeemer lives and that He will stand on the earth. Job’s strong faith in time of deep trouble was built over many years of devotion to his God. When we are our lowest and feel like the whole world has turned their backs on us, our Lord is there. Child of God, I don’t know what your challenge is, but one thing I know is that your Redeemer lives.
Beloved, persist in the place of prayer. As long as you are still awaiting your testimony, don’t stop confessing the promises of God. Take practical steps to actualize God’s plan and purpose for your life. Maybe you have tried all you can, and yet there remains a Goliath in your life. Know that He is always with you in all your circumstances! Because He lives, you can trust that no matter what tomorrow brings, He is by your side watching over you, guiding and delivering you from all your difficulties. Because your Redeemer lives, that problem will not overcome you. Because your Redeemer lives, that sickness will come to an end. Problems respond to either the call of faith or doubt. Make sure all your challenges hear the call of faith from you saying: “because He lives, I can face tomorrow and all fear is gone; my tomorrow shall be the best whether the devil likes it or not.” It shall be so in Jesus’ Name. Because He lives, you will also live!
O LORD, thank You for Your Word, because You live, I shall also live and not die in Jesus’ Name.
