Happy Easter celebration! I believe believers should be wise with the wisdom of God and take advantage of such times as this to blow the trumpet of our Risen LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. We must show the world the beauty of salvation in Christ, and show them how much He loves them.
And as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, I want to admonish you to celebrate it in a way that will please Him and make Him happy. You can easily get this done by understanding what is currently in His heart and aligning with His Will aggressively.
First, the LORD wants every one of us to nurture an intimate relationship with Him. Remember, Love was what made God create humankind in the first place. And even after Man rebelled against the Almighty God by disobeying His loving instructions, love made HIM visit the earth to die for us and set us free from the clutches of satan, sin, hell, and death.
So, God loves us (John 3:16), and He wants you to come closer to Him. God is not interested in religion, but that every one of us should have an intimate relationship with HIM, which is possible only by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and making intentional decisions to align with the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:14,16)
So, if you are yet to embrace Jesus Christ, this is the best decision you can make today. Simply open your heart and tell HIM, “JESUS, have mercy on me, and come into my life”
If you are already a Christian, decide to get closer to God much more than the stage you are currently in.
Additionally, this Easter, we should make new commitments to expand the frontiers of the kingdom. God is the Supreme Creator, and all must bow to His authority. Once the Kingdom of God is flourishing in all facets of human endeavor, we will discover that the solution to humanity’s crisis is the Kingdom of God.
And so, in this end time, God wants us to partner with Him to establish His Kingdom in different areas – media, the family, government, education sector, military, etc, where everyone will subscribe to His Lordship, and everything will be done only in accordance to His Will.
So, don’t just live for yourself. Ask yourself, “How can I partner with the Holy Spirit to establish the consciousness of God in the area(s) He has planted me?” “How can I use my influence and resources to promote the agenda of Jesus Christ”?
Finally, the beautiful things of Easter demand that we live in preparedness for His Second Coming. The LORD wants us to know that He is coming back again very soon, and His coming is imminent. Hence, He wants us to stay true to Him, expectantly, as the night is far spent. For those of us that are already distracted by the affairs of this world, He wants us to repent and amend our ways.
God bless you
