He Arose! So, We Rise (Part 2)!!

INSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Tuesday, April 7, 2026 Topic:  HE AROSE! SO, WE RISE (Part 2)!! Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭For with thee is the fountain of life: In thy light shall we see light" - Psalm 36:9 KJV‬ Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Matthew 28:6 KJV‬ 6. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. INSPIRATION: One very significant expression of Easter is the divine exchange, where Jesus took your place so you could take His (2 Cor. 5: 21). He died as you so you could live as Him. He got condemned so you could be acquitted and free of all charges. But then, if He had remained in the grave or died again after He resurrected, His resurrection purpose would have lost its significance. Everyone who rose from the dead died again, only Jesus lives forever! Hallelujah!! Jesus's death and resurrection reconciles humanity back to their original position before the fall of man; it places you on an equal strata with Jesus so that everything He is, you become. He arose and sits at the right hand of God (Col. 3: 1). Of most significance is the fact that He made you sit together with Him (Eph. 2: 6). Your new position elevates you from the mundane, debased and defeated living that you were once used to. You now reign in glory and ride in power - all the power that was given to Jesus Christ when He conquered sin and death! Glory!! Hallelujah!!! TODAY'S TAKE HOME: ‭‭Elevate your thinking to your new status in Christ. Operate from a place of power and advantage. PRAYER: Dear Lord, thank You for making me sit with you in my restored state and for making me know I could rise above every garbage life has ever thrown at me. My mind is renewed to function in the reality of my elevated status, in Jesus name.
