Living and Dying in the Lord


The moment of supernatural blessings with Prophet Uchenna C. Okonkwor

Dearly Beloved,

For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

Be alive and die in the Lord as well.  Romans 14:7-12 (KJV)

“7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

9 For to this end, Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

12 So then every one of us shall give an account of himself to God."

 

Give you Tithes and Offerings to be richly Blessed and for Expansion of God's Work 

Each one of us will give account to the Lord Jesus Christ and that is why we live for Him and we die for Him, for He is Lord.  When Jesus died, He died so that you may have power over the powers of death. When He lived on the earth, He lived for us so that He may taste and see what human life means, that when you say, ‘Lord, have mercy on me…’ He will hear you because He knows what you are talking about. He knows what it means to die, He knows what it means to be alive and we all live or die for Him. That is why you can give in such a night and you say, ‘let me go to Holy City and worship the Most High God who gave His life for me. Who lived for me, I will live for Him and I will die for Him too.’

The Lord Jesus lived that you may live. He went through what He went through so that He may do something. He was beaten, stricken with canes but each cane represented a disease. Whatever cane He got was representing some kind of disease, some kind of torment that He was saving from us. So, He lived and died but all for the Father who sent Him. Say, ‘I live for Jesus and I will die for Jesus.’

 

Build A Covenant Place of Worship For that God that Delivered you from those Problems 

The Lord Jesus loves you. You are here tonight to worship and praise that only God, the only One who said and what He said is what happened. When He said, ‘I will die and come back to life in three days’ the Pharisees of that time said, ‘…that Man is using demons. We think the demons are disturbing Him. How will he die and raise back again!’ Jesus said, ‘Ok. You are not understanding me, let me tell you something, ‘break that temple and I will build it in three days.” They said, ‘now that is a case. We must kill this Man.’

And He said, ‘Okay, here I am like a lamb.’ They murdered Him and they thought that was the end of Him but guess what? Whatever they did was for our good. They got the curse, we got the blessing.

By nature, if you want to be lifted, raised and get to higher levels the secret is that lift another person. Lift one person, you will also be lifted, lift another and you will also be lifted. By nature, you don't live by yourself. You live for another person. You live for something. The water in the rivers is not for them. The fruits on trees are not for them. The trees do not enjoy their own fruits nor do the rivers take their own water. The sun does not enjoy its own light, rather humans are the ones feasting on these things yet humans are not willing to share themselves with the living God. By nature if you want to raise, lift somebody you will be raised; but if you put somebody down you will also get down. We lift others so that we may rise.

Sow Your Special Seed of Faith for Miracles You want From God in Your life 

For Christ to be lifted or to rise and He sits on the right side of the Father, He had to die for you. He had to first suffer for you so that He may know what it means to feel pain and then say, ‘Abba! Abba! Forgive them. Forgive them and cause healing, blessings, deliverance, empower them Abba Father.’ Jesus didn’t come for Himself but He came for you. That is why you are here now. If rivers don’t drink their water why do you drink your own everyday? If trees don’t eat their fruits, then why do you live for yourself? If the sun comes and gives you light without you asking, why don’t you help somebody who is in prison or hospital and take some gifts without being asked? Whom do you live for? The Word says, ‘live and die for the LORD.

In Adam we died in Christ we raise. 1 Corinthians 15:22 ‘For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.’

When Adam sinned, the grace of God left mankind, man lost his dominion to the devil. This is why when Christ had finished fasting, the devil told Him that all these things have been given to me. But humans have given the devil what is meant for God. What is meant for God they have instead handed it to the devil. That is why when they see the Glory of God they say, ‘Those must be demons’ They have given it to their father the devil but those who live for Christ whenever you see the glory, it is only the Lord God Almighty who can do such things. When you want to heal, look at Jesus, you will live. If you want blessings, look at Jesus you will live. If you want resurrection power, look at Jesus.

Dying in Christ does not necessarily mean to commit suicide and die and say, ‘now I am dying in God. Let me now die in Christ.’ Dying in Christ, dying in the Lord simply means to live for Him. Living for Him means that you no longer live for yourself. Dying in the Lord means that you will be selfless in that when you are hungry and another person is hungry, you will be willing to share that small thing with that hungry person. Dying in Christ means that you look at things the way the Lord looks at them, God loves all. God does not love you according to your religion, according to your church or according to anything. He just loves you. Don’t say, ‘because you are from this kind of religion, you are my enemy…’ No! That is not Christ. He loved all. Don’t give only to those who love you but also give even those who hate you. Forgive everybody, not for their sake but because of Christ Jesus.

You will be selfless and you will look at things for the good. You give as if you have too much. You care about others. However, in this generation of ours, people want quick things. People are self-centred. Someone can kill just to have something small. Someone can fast and pray against another person for no proper reason. Whatever reason it is, if you die in Christ, there is no reason that shall be a serious reason to move you to do a wicked thing. Dying in Christ does not necessarily mean you are going in the grave, but it means you are not self-centred (me, me, me, me and gather even what you won’t use) yet, if you live for God, He will care for you. He will supply for you, He will supply to you, He will do what He designed to do for you and you will not lack.
