There is something called the power of the grave. A grave is the final resting place of the dead. In this final resting place there is no physical activity going on, no activity no action taken place. It is a quiet and serene place. There is a spiritual power that is in charge of that grave. Anything that enters that grave will not go away. There are so many things about us that is already dead and in the spiritual grave. When something dies in your life physically, you know that something had died in your life spiritually. There are three most important things in a person’s life:
- Glory
- Virtue
- Destiny
When a man dies the glory will not be useful to him again. Pray that you will not die before your glory manifest.
What is dead in your life?
- It can be that you are spiritually dead, spiritually blind, deaf and dumb. It can be that you are in a spiritual coma and the devil is using you as a passenger, wherever they push you, you go there. You are an empty vessel that makes the most noise, no revelation, no vision.
- Your marriage and family can be in disarray, no unity. The breath of God will give your marriage life and every department of your life. Once the breath of God removes from anything it will begin to die. Many don’t know where to start, you should start with the word of God it is the way (John 14:6).
- It can be your health or your body that is already destroyed, pray that the Lord will give you a new resurrected body.
- It can be your career and education.
- It can be your relationship with your husband/wife or children that is dead. If it is so you will not enjoy your salvation. Pray that the Holy Spirit will revive your relationship.
- It can be your business or source of income that is dead. You are in a lot of debt. It is your action that will bring you out of the grave.
- It might be your brain or memory that is dead. The devil has turn it upside down and you don’t know anything.
- It might be your prayer life that is dead. When you are not in tune with the word of God you will have difficulty in prayer.
- It can be your peace
- It can be your joy
- It can be your happiness
If you don’t have joy, peace and happiness you will be sad and bitter; even if you have money and material things. The rich and intellectual also cry; because when the devil has killed and stolen things from their lives confusion will be the order of the day.
There are different types of graves:
- There are graves of spiritual backwardness. Christians who are in this grave are incorrigible; they don’t like to be corrected. The word of God will never prosper in their lives. As long as you are spiritually backward you will have a lot of warfare in your life.
- The grave of self-righteousness and self-justification (Luke 18:9-14). This is what is holding many persons including pastors. Everyone that exalted himself shall be abased and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. God shall save the humble person (Job 22:29).
- The grave of spiritual decay and death. You are declining in thanksgiving. The moment you reduce studying of the word of God, everything about God in you will decline. You will not know how to pray and praise God. The word of God is the lubricant oil that renews your spirit and keeps your soul alive. It gives you momentum as a child of God. If the word of God decreases in your life, the door will be opened wide for the enemy. You need to come out of the grave of spiritual decay. When you are in spiritual decay – worry, anxiety, heaviness and fear will grip you. Ephesians 5:14, awake thou that sleepeth and arise from the dead and Christ shall give thee light. You need to speak to your spirit and soul and command them to hear the voice of resurrection; to awake, arise and live in the name of Jesus. (2 Corinthians 7:1), we need deep purging and cleansing before we can come out of the grave.
- The grave of profitless life, millions are in this grave. (Judges 6:1), there is no smoke without fire. Everything that is happening to you has an origin. There are some well-educated persons not making progress. Isaiah 5:1-11.
- The grave of debt owing, it is killing Christians, it is killing the work of God. Don’t take the loan that you cannot pay. Discretion will save you (Proverbs 2:11).
- The grave of suffering and hard life.
- The grave of witchcraft and other powers of darkness. Witch means to bend to change you from what God has created you to be. Craft means deception, lies. Millions are in this grave, someone who supposed to be a teacher is on the pulpit, some pastors are at KPH as doctors. They fulfil the desire of the wish of their parents. The grave of witchcraft is where destinies are pocketed and stars are hijacked. Where glory is eaten and virtues are buried. Grave of witchcraft is the grave where many are born champions but they are tied down because of circumstances in their family. It is a place where opportunities are caged. There are so many candidates in the grave of witchcraft this population is the highest. You must come out of that grave. Read Nahum 3 very well you will see people who are tied down in this grave. It is where blessings are destroyed without remnant. Agents of witchcraft have PhD in destruction.
Why did we die and find ourselves in this grave?
Isaiah 59 : 1 - 2- Sin, stop looking at what another person is doing. Look at yourself, re-examine yourself and mind your own business.
- Disobedience and rebellion (Isaiah 1:19-20), if you are willing and obedient you will not find yourself in the grave. Disobedience and rebellion attracts spiritual death and bodily death.
- Wickedness, a Christian who does not give offering, pays his/her tithes. If you withhold what is in your hand God will not release the harvest in his garden. If you are not taking care of your wife this is wickedness.
- Laziness, there are so much laziness in the body of Christ. Many don’t even pray for themselves much less for others. When you are prayerless you become powerless. Laziness causes many to not look about themselves. (Proverbs 6:4-11).
John 12:24, what type of seed are you? That when the enemy put you in the ground you stay forever and don’t come out. If you sow a good seed, you will reap a good fruit or harvest and if you sow a bad seed you will reap a bad fruit or harvest. We are the seed of God, no matter what the wicked has done to us we shall surely overcome. The question is: are you a seed of God or of the devil? What type of seed are you planting in your life? The type of seed you are will determine if you will come out of the grave. Each of us is a covenant seed of Jesus Christ given birth by Jesus Christ. We are a living seed; a seed of God will not die nor be destroyed by the wicked.
What we must do?
- We must be genuinely born again and be serious with God and his word.
- We must follow the model that Christ has given unto us and that model defines the standard of God and the standard of God is in the bible.
- We must be obedient and faithful no matter the circumstances. Be faithful means to be reliable, to be trusted, to be stable, to be available. Tell yourself that as long as this is what God wants I will do it. That is how resurrection will take place in your life.
- Engage in prayers that will touch the heart of God. The republican asks God for mercy (Luke 18:13). Don’t pray in self-righteousness.
