How to transform lent time and the resurrection of Jesus into a dynamic and faith-filled period instead of a storytelling event?
Many churches and Christians use this time to speak about the cruelty of the Jews who crucified Jesus for many illegal reasons rooted mainly in hatred and jealousy and I can picture Jesus saying to us:Focus on your own story of the resurrection, It's your turn to raise some dead things in your life to life and to kill other things.
There are dreams , assignments, callings, and plans that need to be resurrected because the last year caused many to change their lives radically due to the pandemic and now the time has come to breathe life into them and overcome the enemy's strategies to discourage and even stop you.
On the other side, there are some things that must die so that the total focus will be on Jesus and the work he gives us to do.
These things may not be so dangerous, but they cause a huge distraction for you. It could be using much time to watch silly tv programs or songs, much time on social media , talking for hours every day on the phone and gossiping ect...
Some friendships and relationships must also die because those people are not part of the next season of your life.
In addition, this time of the year is very special since one of the significant feasts of the Lord,the Passover, will be celebrated by Christians all over the world next month.
God wants to do marvelous signs and wonders to us and through us so that the resurrection power in us will be displayed to others and will cause many to believe.
I really think God is fed up with the churches celebrating Easter as a historical event with some old hymns and rituals. He wants us rather study the resurrection of Jesus and apply it to our life so we can ovércome like him and demonstrate this supernatural power to the world.
Everything Jesus did, God expects us to do by the power of the holy spirit so that everyone who believes will have a resurrection story to tell this season for the same power that raised Jesus from the dead dwells within us.
