Revelation of the Word:

THEME: CHRIST OUR HOPE

Ephesians 1:15-23 NKJV

“Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.”

INSIGHT

–As we celebrate the risen Savior this Easter, we are called to reflect on the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The death of Jesus has provided forgiveness of our sins, and His resurrection has released to us new life in Him giving us hope, spirit of wisdom, revelation in the knowledge of Him and realize the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints. John 11:25 reveals to us that Jesus is indeed the resurrection and the life, he who believes in Him will live, even though he dies (John 11:25). This season reaffirms our faith in God and our hope of eternal life. The same hope and joy that the disciples had after the resurrection has been released unto us, as we sing, rejoice in the Lord always and again we say rejoice (Matthew 28:9, Philippians 4:4). We arise, we shine this season for the light of the Lord has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon us (Isaiah 60:1).

PRAYER

Dear Father we thank You for loving us. You are the our resurrected king. You are the resurrection and the life. You are the risen Lord, we arise and shine today, ours double doors are open in Jesus name. Thank You Lord for You loved this world so much that You gave Your one and only Son, that we might be called Your children too. Lord, may help us to live in the gladness and grace of Easter each day. May You make our hearts joyful and thankful for Your sacrifice on the cross. Let us have eyes that look upon Your grace and rejoice in our salvation. May You forgive us our sins and iniquities, and cleanse us with Your precious blood. May You break every delay in our lives dear Jesus. May You help us to walk in Your mighty grace and enable us to preach the good news to the world. What You began in us Lord, may You make it complete in Jesus name. May You grant us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You. May You enlighten the eyes of our understanding; that we may know what is the hope of Your calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of Your power toward us who believe, according to the working of Your mighty power which You worked in Christ when You raised Him from the dead. We declare that we are blessed, we are delivered, we break forth, we arise, we rise, we are highly favored and take divine authority in Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Blessed Easter
