Rolled and Risen

 

Text: Mark 16:3-4 (KJV)

³And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? ⁴ And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away; for it was very great.

I know many of us, would have faced one difficult situation or the other. The truth is, when we are in such situation the question in our heart will be who will roll away this stubborn stone? Who will help me or who will give me the solution to this problem? The goodnews is, the Lord has made a way for us to cross to the other side.  From our text of today, we see that the people who came to see and anoint the body of Jesus came with the thought of “who will roll the stone”, but they never imagined that the stone they were worried about was already rolled away for them. We should obey the scripture in 1Peter 5:7 Casting all your cares upon him, for he careth for you.  The same goes for us as children of God, we tend to worry about that difficult situation we may be facing, without realizing that the stone has already been rolled away. I tell you, Christ has already removed those obstacles, delays, limitations, and hindrances on our journey of life in Jesus name.

The fact that we thought to ourselves, “who will?” means that we cannot help ourselves, because the barrier may be heavy or too stubborn to handle. Friends, Jesus is here to roll away the barrier for our rising, and He is holding all the strategies for our freedom.  You can try it today. Ezekiel 37:3 - And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest. God is rolling away that challenge of our life, and set an Angel to open the door of all our blessings. So celebrate Him and be grateful for the testimony ahead. I tell you, no matter how tough that barrier may be, God can still break it. Isaiah 49:24 - Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?  Do not give up but always remember the pain is temporary, and no matter how long it lasts, it shall be replaced to gain. You can turn that barrier to become a pillow and a pillar through Jesus Christ.   Also, remember no matter the challenge, there is an answer. I pray God will help us, in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1. Father, we decree that every law, barrier hindering and limiting our sprouting, be rolled away, in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Please, look again because that stubborn challenge, have been leveled.
