Topic: Engaging the Power of Resurrection for our Desired Turnaround

Ministering: Bishop David O. Oyedepo

Mat 27:50 – 53, Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

Heb. 9:1-4, Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.

3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;

4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

Consistent love with Jesus grants unending access to revelations.

Acts 2:30, Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

Genesis 18:17, And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;

The power of Christ’s resurrection empowers believers to exercise dominion as their right.

– Eph. 1:21, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

Until you have a genuine love for God, you are limited in access to revelation.

Your mouth is not just for eating and speaking grammar, it is a weapon of war.

– Luke 21:15, For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

Your mind is not just for intellectual exercise; it is the compass of your life . YOUR THOUGHT IS YOUR TAKE

– Pro. 4: 23, Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

When you are conscious of the resurrection power in you, everything you touch is quickened.

Your thoughts are powerful; they dictate the direction of your life.

Nothing dies around you when the resurrection power is at work in you.

You do not pray to be endued with resurrection power, it is released through the channel of revelation.

 – Phil. 3:10, That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

The resurrection power flows at the instance of revelation.

What is the Resurrection Power?

1. It is the greatness of Christ’s resurrection power that establishes your dominion.

2. It is the quickening power that brings things back to life.

3. It is the hiding place of God’s exceeding great power.

– Eph. 1:17-20, That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

Proofs of the resurrection power in You

1. It restores life to your body.

2. It ends struggles in every area your life.

3. It gives you authority.

You have no right to walk in the newness of life without the resurrection power which comes through sanctification.

Water baptism is a spiritual symbol that entitles believers to have access to the sanctification power of resurrection.

What is in the Resurrection Power for You?

1. It sanctifies.

– Rom. 6:4-5, Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

– Sanctification enables you to walk in the newness of life naturally.

2. It destroys the power of death and the grave over your life.

– Heb. 2:14, Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

3. It destroys fear.

– 1 Cor. 15:55-57, O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
