God restores your losses – Dr. Paul Dhinakaran
“He has risen from the dead; and, behold, He goes before you.” (Matthew 28:7)
The Lord gives you today’s promise from Mathew 28:7, “He has risen from the dead; and, behold, He goes before you.” When Jesus rose from the dead and as the women went to his grave to anoint him early in the morning, an angel welcomed them at the empty grave of Jesus. The angel said, “Jesus has risen from the dead.” Yes! The Lord whom you are worshipping, trusting and believing is alive. Jesus is alive. Jesus says, “because I live, you will live also (John 14:19).
Who is Jesus? He says in John 11: 25, “I am the resurrection and the life.” Yes! He said, “I am the Alpha, I am the Omega, I am the beginning, I am the end.” There is no end for Jesus, and there is no end for God. He says, “I am the life, I am the resurrection.” It is not that I will resurrect or I will rise up. It is that I am, myself, the resurrection. Behold my dear friend, when you have Jesus in you, you have the resurrection and the life in you. Literally, you are carrying the resurrection in you. As you praise the Lord Jesus Christ for being in you, live according to his will, and are connected to him, you must know there is resurrection and life in you. You will always live. Your soul will not die. The Lord Jesus says in John 11:25, “I am the resurrection and the life.” First, He says resurrection and then life. “He who believes in me will live and even though he dies, he will live. Even if he dies in this world, he will live. Whoever believes in me, will never die.” Wow! Naturally, you cannot believe it but then my friend as the resurrection and the life who is Jesus is in you, everything that you have lost he will make it come back to you.
When my sister Angel died in an accident, God brought another Angel through my wife into our family. We never knew each other before marriage. Both my wife and my sister had the same name Evangeline. They both were of the same age and both had studied the same course. Wow! Angel came back alive through my wife. It will happen to you too. Everything that you have lost, specially for the sake of Christ Jesus, God will restore and give it back to you in double portion. When we leave our lives in this world, the body may die but our soul will live. This is the hope in Jesus.
Prayer:
Father,
I surrender my life to you. Jesus you are the resurrection. Make me live by giving back all that I have lost and transform my soul to follow you. Let me live forever with you in this world and even after that. Give me this grace. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
