Memory Verse : Mark 16:12. After this, Jesus appeared to two of the disciples, who were on their way to another village, appearing in a form they did not recognize.
Bible Reading : Mark 16:9-11 TPT. Key Verse : v11.
Early on the first day of the week, after rising from the dead, Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. After she had seen Jesus, she ran to tell his disciples, who were all emotionally devastated and weeping. Excitedly, Mary told them, “He’s alive and I’ve seen him!” But even after hearing this, they didn’t believe her.
At the point when Jesus Christ submitted to divine agenda to die willingly on the cross of calvary, Satan and the hordes of hell threw parties thinking they had succeeded in curbing the effect of his restoration work in the lives of men. The chief priests of his days thought they had finally punctured the wheels of his assignment. The disciples on their side was in rude shock and was nursing their wounds in fear. To them it was like a nightmare that they never envisaged. They had been with him and known his capabilities. That wasn’t the first time the people made attempt on his life, but couldn’t succeed because it wasn’t time. But this time, because he submitted himself like a lamb, he was easily preyed on by ordinary men without putting up the simplest resistance. “Suddenly, Peter took out his sword and struck the high priest’s servant, slashing off his right ear! The servant’s name was Malchus. Jesus ordered Peter, “Put your sword away! Do you really think I will avoid the suffering which my Father has assigned to me?”” John 18:10-11.
Even the followers of Jesus in their state of devastation thought that was the end of the road. But in the real sense of it, that was the beginning of a new phase in divine agenda. The powers that be those days on their own side thought in their little minds that it was by their strength they got him this time, so they tried to secure the grave with fierce looking soldiers to make sure nobody removes his remains from the sepulcher where he was laid. When it was time for resurrection by divine agenda, the soldiers and them that sent them to work didn’t know what hit them. Every other thing that happened there on that day of resurrection is now history. “But the angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid. I know that you’re here looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He isn’t here—he has risen victoriously! Look! See the place where they laid him. Run and tell his disciples, even Peter, that he is risen. He has gone ahead of you into Galilee and you will see him there, just like he told you.”” Mark 16:6-7.
“They staggered out of the tomb, awestruck, with their minds swirling. They ran to tell the disciples, but they were so afraid and deep in wonder, they said nothing to anyone.” Mark 16:8. Now when these women went and reported what they saw to his disciples, they couldn’t believe them. The more they doubted, the more he showed himself to more people, till it became very obvious to all what God had done. This season God is going to reveal strong visitations to his people. The resultant effect will be uncommon testimonies that many around you will find it difficult to believe, just like the resurrection incident. They more people will doubt God in your life this time, the more pronounced your visitation will appear till the blind themselves will see it and glorify God whose faithfulness can never be in doubt. “It was like a dream come true when you freed us from our bondage and brought us back to Zion! We laughed and laughed and overflowed with gladness. We were left shouting for joy and singing your praise. All the nations saw it and joined in, saying, “The Lord has done great miracles for them!””
Prayer :Thank you Lord Jesus because death and the grave couldn’t hold you captive. In like manner whatever turn around testimony I am due for cannot be withheld by any power. Thank you Father God for making me live my dreams in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : John 18:1-24.
