Summary

We cannot know Jesus without knowing his story.Today the debate over who Jesus is rages on. Has the Bible bound Christians to a narrow and mistaken notion of Jesus? Should we listen to other gospels, other sayings of Jesus, that enlarge and correct a mistaken story? Is the real Jesus entangled in a web of the church's Scripture, awaiting liberation from our childhood faith so he might speak to our contemporary pluralistic world?To answer these questions we need to know what story Jesus claimed for himself. Christopher Wright is convinced that Jesus' own story is rooted in the story of Israel. In this book he traces the life of Christ as it is illuminated by the Old Testament. And he describes God's design for Israel as it is fulfilled inthe story of Jesus.

    Introduction 
    ‘’And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.’’                                                                                
                                                                                                Luke 24:49 
      
    Friend, it is time to walk in power and authority! You are a creature of power; you have to become conscious of the power in your walk with God. Power is the ultimate! It’s time to walk into your liberty and get to your Canaan land! Your land flowing with honey and milk is waiting for you to possess. 
    In my country, Nigeria, we have three major tribes namely the Hausa’s, the Yoruba’s and the Ibo’s.  The Ibo men are looking for money and they have it. Yoruba men are looking for education and they have it. Hausa men are looking for power and they have it. But the Hausa men are controlling both those with money and those with certificates. A man in power can control a man with money and with degrees. You can hate a man with power but you are still under him. You can speak grammar more than him but you are still under him. Just one decision he will make can affect your source of money. 
    That is why Jesus did not promise His disciples money or scholarships. But he said: ‘’ And ye shall receive power……… 
    Because He understands that there are powers of darkness that are on assignment against our lives. Do not just pray for promotion in the office. Pray for promotion in the school of power. No matter how religious you are, Pharaoh won’t let you go without a demonstration of power. Your grammar, your education or your money makes no difference. 
    Friend, the kingdom of God is not in words, but in the demonstration of the Spirit and of POWER! (1 Cor.2:4). 
     The power I am talking about is the RESURRECTION POWER! 
     In the book of John 11:25, ‘’Jesus said unto her (Martha), I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me though he were died, yet shall he live.’’ 
         The resurrection power is the power that makes alive! It is the power that creates! It is the power that will ascend you to glory! This power will give you ceaseless open doors, breakthroughs and victory in life! The resurrection Power is not a theology; it is a person. 
         The resurrection power is the ultimate power for the believers! 
      
    In this book, you are going to have an unforgettable encounter with His resurrection power. Can you cry to heaven for His power this day?

    Coronavirus (COVID-19) is one of the major plagues currently haunting the earth. 
    The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has so far infected and killed thousands of people worldwide and has been branded a global pandemic. 
    Several nations are reporting not just infections from the outbreak, but deaths! 
     
    Authorities say the numbers of dead and infected could keep multiplying for weeks or months. 
     
    This virus has emptied the streets of proud cities, national and international airlines have been grounded. Schools have been closed, entertainment and sporting events are closed, businesses and offices are closing down on a daily basis because of the fear of this deadly pandemic called Coronavirus. Even friendly handshakes are now avoided to elbow shakes. 
     
    There is a need to pray that God should stop the virus from spreading further. We will pray for the spread of the virus to stop, the virus should lose its power. 
    God is a supreme being, He has power over everything, and our prayer of healing and prevention of Coronavirus would cause God to put a stop to it. 
     
    Psalm 107:20- ‘’He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.’’ 
     
    While praying, we should pray for those that have been affected by the virus that God Himself should heal them. 
     
    The Bible made us understand that God is a powerful healer, He can stretch forth His hands and heal millions of people in a second. 
     Enough of people dying from the virus, we will be praying God should heal everyone that has been affected by the virus. 
     
    The scripture says for we bear the mark of Christ, let no man trouble us. 
    We must pray that the hands of God be upon each and every one of us and protect us from this demonic virus. 
     
    Exodus 15:26- “And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.” 
     
     Shalom!

    Isaiah 66:15- ‘’For behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with His chariots like a whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire.’’ 
    The term “fire of God” is often used symbolically in the Bible to portray the presence of God, the power of God, His judgment, His purifying work and, as His emblem of the anointing. 
    Fire is a strange and fearful weapon. No power can come against the fire of God and not get roasted and burn to ashes. The dragon can survive anywhere but cannot survive in the fire. When your life carries the fire of God you will be too hot for the devil, to handle. If you notice backwardness, manipulation, prayerlessness, oppression in the dream, it is an indication of the fact that your fire has gone out. You need to come to the presence of God for fresh fire. The fire of God will help you preserves your  life, career, business, and ministry. It will also consume your enemy.
