THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Volume 2, Part 17.

1Peter 2:9 (KJV) But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
1Peter 2:9; Romans 5:17; Revelation 1:5-6; 5:10; 20:6; 22:5; Mark 11:23-24; 16:15-20; 1Corinthians 12:7-11;

Today we continue our study series titled THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS to enable us to walk in the fullness of the resurrection power.

17. Influential leadership is mostly measured by money directly or indirectly. Influential leadership because it is of the flesh will lead followers more and more into sin and sorrow, and more and more away from God and against God. How many influential leaders in the world today are not promoting sin and rebellion against God? This is so because influential leadership is the way of the devil from the beginning. Yet we have many believers who see them and use them as role models and benchmark of good leadership.

Even among pastors and ministers who teach Influential leadership you find that gradually their teachings move away from God and the bible. Seventy percent of their example of leadership are unbelievers. It is absolutely impossible for an unbeliever to be successful in life. See nothing good in the devil. If you see an unbeliever as a successful leader then you do not understand leadership. You only know leadership in the flesh. Influential leadership teachings are driven by coveteousness and idolatry of the unbelievers. Creative leadership or divine leadership is measured by opportunities created for the recreation of the human spirit and leading men back to their ultimate leader our Lord Jesus.

Creative leadership is not about success in financial and material world but success in the spirit world today. Jesus said seek ye first leadership and success in the kingdom and the financial and materials will be added unto you. Influential leadership is about influencing people so that the influencer can fulfil his personal vision and ambition. But divine creative leadership is creating opportunities for people to discover their divine purpose and destiny in Christ and fulfill them.

Leadership is more than leading men but leading all and ruling over all things on earth in the name of Jesus. It is making all things subject unto you in the name of Jesus just as everything including the wind, the seas, food, trees, sickness, evil spirits, the devil and even death were subject unto Jesus. Even Adam before the fall all things in the air, land and seas were subject to him. As a divine leader all things are yours, all things are for your sake and all things are working together for your good and fulfilling. Influential leadership is more of leading and subjecting men under them. Influential leadership is led by money, power, and circumstances. Money, power and circumstances of life determine their decisions, actions, failure and success. Philippians 2:5-11; Matthew 6:33; 8:26-27; 11:28-30; 14:25; 28:18; Mark 11:23-24; 16:17-18; 1John 4:4; Luke 10:19; 1Corinthians 3:21-23; 2Corinthians 4:3-4,15,17-18; Romans 8:28;

The bottom line of all what we are saying is that God wants you to begin to see yourself in the eyes and light of all that the resurrection of Jesus has done for you and has made you. And no more in your fleshly natural sin nature so that you can begin to enjoy the fullness of the blessings of the mystery of the resurrection power which includes eternal life and freedom from sin, sickness, diseases, poverty, demonic oppression, fear, doubts, anxieties and death.

If you need healing the bible says In Matthew 8:17 that Jesus Himself took all our sicknesses and diseases. Therefore you can receive your healing now by faith in the name of Jesus. Just lay your hand on the affected area of your body and say this prayer. Father God in the name of Jesus I believe that Jesus died for my healing. I believe He took all my sickness and diseases on the cross. If He took them, then I cannot have them. Therefore I resist and I reject every sickness in my body and I confess Jesus today as my healer and I receive my healing now. Thank you Jesus that I am healed. 1Peter 2:24; Ps 107:20.
Now begin to do what you couldn't do before because of the sickness. You are healed in Jesus name.

Jesus is coming very soon. Are you ready? Heaven is real, hell is real. Judgement Day is coming. The time is very short. Choose Jesus today.
You can become a born again child of God today. The bible says If you shalt confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10; John 1:12.

Say this prayer: O God have mercy on me. I come to you today in the name of Jesus. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He died for me. I believe that you raised Him from the dead for my salvation. I accept Jesus in my heart today and I confess Him today as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you Father that today I am saved In Jesus name.

If you prayed this prayer of Salvation, please go to a nearby bible believing Church in your area, so you can grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus.

Grace be with you.
