You Will Rise Again

4th April 2021

Scripture Reading: Mark 16: 1-9

Focus

“And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.” (Mark 16: 6)

The most beautiful part of our Scripture Reading is that after all the arrangements that were made in order to crucify Jesus and keep Him in the grave, He eventually rose from the grave. A grave stone was used to cover the grave, and even if Jesus rose, there was to be another matter of taking the stone away; but all that was no match for the power of God. Just when they thought they had done their worst to Jesus, He rose in power.

Friend, hear me as I hear the Lord: even if there is a conspiracy to keep you in the grave, you will rise by that same power that raised Jesus from the grave. Even if the enemies of your destiny have resolved that you will make absolutely no movement in destiny, you will still rise above their arrangements, and you will move ahead of them. Even if the powers that be have done everything they can to pull you down, you will still rise again.

Those who crucified Jesus kept soldiers at the sepulcher, and used a great stone to cover the sepulcher, but that was not enough to stop Jesus from rising. If there be men who have made arrangements to make sure that you don’t rise, remind them to improve on their arrangements if they wish, but you will still rise. Even if they are hanging around to see how you will rise, before their very eyes, you will rise and rise again.

Don’t lose sleep on account of the wickedness of men. As they make arrangements for your downfall, God will make arrangements for your lifting. As they make arrangements to keep you in the grave, God will make arrangements for your supernatural rising. The arrangements of men to keep you down can never supersede the power that raised Jesus from the dead. If you are connected to that power, no power can keep you down.

Get set to rise again in places and areas where you are currently in the grave; get set to rise by that same power that raised Jesus from the grave.

Declaration

In the places where I am down, I shall rise again supernaturally, in Jesus’ name!
