WHEN DEATH LOST ITS GRIP

March 13, 2015 · Lanre Oyeleke · 2 views

Acts2:24 But God released him from the horrors of death and raised him back to life, for death could not keep him in its grip. NLT

I heard about a man that promised to resurrect on the third day if he dies. He claimed to be another Jesus of some sort but he was fake not real. He died and people waited for him to resurrect, when they gathered around his burial site. He was about to rise because the grave opened and he was about rising from the dead, a mighty thunder struck from heaven and killed him. That was how he died forever.

The resurrection power of God that worked in Jesus is real. No man has achieved that feat till now. To rise from the dead is temporary but to resurrect from the dead permanent. Death lost its grip on Jesus because God's resurrection power was at work in Christ. If the devil knew that Christ's death would free humanity from his shackles, he would have stopped it.

Blessed be God, who made us partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light and made the death of Christ of benefit to us. Now that death has lost its grip on Christ, you are meant to be free from demonic oppression and all the dirty dozens of hell. You can demand your freedom because Christ is risen to make us walk in the newness of life. Glory!
