Opening Scripture
Luke 18:1 (NKJV) “Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart.”
Jesus emphasizes the importance of continual prayer and not losing heart, teaching us that through persistent prayer, we maintain a lifeline to God’s presence and power.
Witness the Miracle of Resurrection
Matthew 28:6-8 (KJV)
“He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.”
The resurrection story is a pivotal moment, highlighting the fulfillment of God’s promises and the transformative power of the Gospel, urging believers to share this great news.
Rediscovering Our Inheritance through Christ
Dominion Restored
Genesis 1:26-28 (NKJV)
“Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.'”
Through Christ’s redemption, we regain the dominion originally intended for humanity, empowering us to live as stewards of God’s creation with authority and purpose.
Sonship: From Slaves to Heirs
Galatians 4:6-7 (NKJV)
And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, ‘Abba, Father!’ Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.”
In accepting Jesus, we transition from bondage to freedom, embracing our identity as God’s children and heirs to His kingdom, a relationship that transforms our identity and destiny.
Conclusion: Embracing Our Full Inheritance in Christ
Combining the power of persistent prayer, the joy of resurrection, and the restored privileges of dominion and sonship paints a full picture of the Christian journey. It’s about remaining steadfast in faith, proclaiming the risen Christ, and walking in the fullness of the authority and sonship that comes from being in relationship with God through Jesus. This approach to faith invites believers to experience and share the full spectrum of God’s redemptive plan.
