You shall Not Die but Live

Sunday 26 February
READ: 1 Sam 2: 6
MORE LESSON: Psa 118: 17

The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up: 1 Sam 2:6. Today, be it known to you that the land of your sojourn will not swallow you; this land will not receive your dead body. As children of God, we are confident that we cannot be victims of untimely death. This confidence is hinged on the text of today; it is our God who determines who lives and who dies. Your Father is the one who has the power to kill and make alive; and He won't use His power against you. It is not death that kills, it is merely an instrument to make dying happen. Just like it is not the pencil that draws; it is the artist. The pencil is merely an instrument; it cannot use itself to draw if the artist doesn't hold it. Satan cannot kill you; death cannot kill you; co-incidence cannot cause your death; your Father has the power of life and death.
Jesus said in Rev 1:18, I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. For every door, there is a key. He who holds the keys determines who enters and who doesn't enter. Unscriptural preaching and folklore have made many think that it is the devil that holds the keys of death. But that is a big lie; the devil always likes to make you think that he has the power that he doesn't have so that he can look big even when he knows that he is small. Jesus has the keys of life, death and even hell. It is Jesus who determines what happens and who goes where.
You shall not die this year. You came into the year to live and make the dead live; you didn't come to die. You are a life giving spirit; you are not a prisoner of death. All attempts on your life, either by men or demons, are efforts in futility. It is those that rise against you that will fall for your sake. Those that try to kill you will die for your sake. This land is the land of your glory, not your grave. You will shine forth and evil will bow before you.
The Lord kills and makes alive; this year He has decided to make live. However, the enemies of the Church should better repent and change this year because the Lord has declared death for all sworn agents of wickedness. But as for you, peace is upon you as you go out and come in, now and forever more.
