The Key

Isa. 53:⁵ “But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.”

You will nail every sickness that is still lingering in your body to The Cross of Jesus, in this season, in Jesus Name. Isa.53:⁶ “All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all.” So again I pray that Jesus’ pain on The Cross of Calvary will not be in vain in your life. I pray that every time Jesus looks down at you, He will say, “The whipping, the humiliation, the slaps, the spitting and being nailed to The Cross was totally worth it”. I pray that Jesus will look down on our lives and say, “Thank God I did it”. He would not look at our lives and say, “Why did I do it?”

I pray that the benefit of The Cross will be accrued to us, in Jesus name. For us to walk in resurrection and for us to live in the fullness of what Christ came to do on The Cross, The Cross is the key and the key is The Cross. For us to walk in the fullness of God and live the life God has planned for us, The Cross is key and the key is The Cross. If we can understand The Cross, if we can engage The Cross, and if we can apply The Cross, we will walk in the fullness of what Christ has done for us.

Lu.9:²³ (KJV) “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me” [with emphasis]. Sometimes people think that Jesus went to The Cross so that they can party or so that they can live as they want to live. But Jesus tells us that He went to The Cross so that we can carry our own cross. Jesus went to The Cross so that you can carry your own cross and the price that He paid on The Cross can be of value to you. It is when we carry our cross that the fullness of the life of God becomes evident in our lives. We cannot really follow Jesus if we do not carry our cross.

Many things people call their ‘cross’ really is not The Cross. Some say a particular illness is their cross. How can sickness be your cross when “…He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.” God’s Word says in Gal.2:¹⁸ (KJV) “For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.” Sickness, shame, lack, confusion and the likes cannot be your cross because Jesus came to take them away.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I thank You for Your finished work on The Cross, in Jesus Name. Amen!
