*LIFE AND IMMORTALITY UNVEILED*

*PASTOR CHRIS OYAHKILOME*

*THURSDAY, 12TH DECEMBER 2024*

_*But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10).*_

What we just read in our opening scripture is extraordinary. There's no better way to explain it than how it's already stated. The message is very clear: Christ has abolished death and has brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel. The Church has to come to the knowledge and profundity of this truth.

Now that you're born again, you've passed from death to life; you're in the place of immortality—deathlessness: _*"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life"*_ (John 5:24). You have the transcendent life—the overcoming life that makes you superior to Satan, darkness, disease, sickness, failure, defeat, and death.

Now, if this is true, and thank God it is, why are there still so many in the Church today struggling with their health and being buffeted by the elements of this world? The reason is their lack of understanding, consciousness and knowledge of this truth. God said in Hosea 4:6, "My people are destroyed for their lack of knowledge."

It brings to mind the lamentation of the psalmist, Asaph in Psalm 82:5-7, _*"They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes."*_ How sad! Being born again, you're a god because you're born of God; therefore, you have the God-life! That life isn't subject to sickness; it's death-proof and disease-proof! This is the truth, and unless you accept this reality, you'll never live it.

This is what Jesus came to accomplish for us, and He fulfilled it. He "finished" the work. On the Cross, before He died, He said, "It is finished"; in other words, mission accomplished; death is abolished; life and immortality are now unveiled! The Bible says, _*"But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God"*_ (Hebrews 10:12). Glory to God!

He made life and immortality available through the Gospel and sat down at the right hand of God. Now the Bible says whosoever believes in Him has everlasting life (John 3:16). Having believed, you have life and immortality. Blessed be God!

*CONFESSION*
*I was born into the realm of life and immortality; I have passed from death to life. I have the transcendent life—the overcoming life—that makes me superior to Satan, darkness, disease, sickness, failure, defeat and death: a life that's beyond this world! I reign gloriously over circumstances and live triumphantly every day, in Jesus' Name. Amen.*

*FURTHER STUDY:*
*||* *John 11:25-26* Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? *||*

*||* *Romans 8:10-11* And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. *||*

*||* *1 Corinthians 15:53-57* For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy victory? 56 The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin [is] the law. 57 But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. *||*
