Why? It\u2019s because it has to do with the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ; without resurrection, there is no salvation. If there is no resurrection, then our faith is of no use, and it plays a significant role in strengthening our faith. It also gives us the opportunity as believers to publicly proclaim the gospel to sinners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy did I say so? You could recall that when Jesus Christ resurrected from the dead, that gave the apostles power to proclaim the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Before he rose from the dead, they went into hiding because they were afraid of whether Jesus Christ would rise from the dead or not. But immediately he resurrected, that gave them the audacity to move from one location to another, and Jesus Christ is now sending the Holy Spirit to you, and this will guide, teach, and give you power to do and undo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, his resurrection as believers also teaches us to centre our teachings on salvation and love. If any preacher tells you that God told him to preach prosperity messages to you, tell the preacher that this is a lie from the pit of hell because the Lord will not instruct his servant to preach prosperity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the rich man visited Jesus Christ and asked him, \u2018What am I going to do to inherit the kingdom of God?\u2019 What did he tell him to do? Go sell all your belongings. The Lord will not instruct his beloved servants to centre their preaching on prosperity and gathering wealth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
