3 AREAS WHERE THE RESURRECTION POWER OF CHRIST WORKS IN THE BELIEVER'S LIFE
1. DEVIL
The resurrection power of Jesus Christ gives us power to overcome all the power of the devil. The greatest demonstration of the power of God took place at the resurrection of Christ because Satan used all the power that he had to prevent Christ from rising from the dead. Therefore in raising Jesus from the dead , God proved that all the power of satan is no match for the power of God. And that same resurrection power is working in our lives . Thus we need not have any fear of the devil and even if the devil does his worst against us , we can overcome him with the resurrection power that is working in our lives. The Apostle Paul longed to experience the power of the resurrection in his own life. Even today this mighty power of the resurrection is available to every believer to experience in his own life and ministry.

2. DISEASE
The resurrection power of Jesus Christ gives us power over disease and sickness. We must demonstrate the power of the resurrected Christ by healing the sick and casting out devils. We must seek God earnestly to empower us to demonstrate the power of the resurrection in and through our lives.

3. DECLARATION
The resurrection power of Jesus Christ gives us power to declare the gospel of Jesus Christ with signs , wonders and miracles and win souls for Jesus. This resurrection power was working in the lives of the apostles and they gave witness of the resurrection of Jesus Christ with great power. The resurrected Christ was taken up into heaven and sat at the right hand of God as He had finished His part in the plan of salvation. He left the responsibility of fulfilling the purpose of His death and resurrection in the hands of His disciples. Therefore the disciples went everywhere proclaiming the message of the resurrected Christ. We must be diligent in fulfilling our part in the plan of God for the salvation of mankind. We should not live selfishly just for ourselves . We must live for Christ who died and rose again for our sake.
