RESURRECTION WEEK
Matthew: 28:20: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

This is of the last day’s Jesus was with the disciples with a charge given not only to them but to every disciple of Christ that would come after these great men of faith. This charge is the great commission and for every believer in Christ Jesus that has been called to discipleship. This message is for Disciples of Christ and if you are a true Christian then you are a disciple. First, all authority has been given to Jesus Christ in Heaven and on the earth with no escaping from His command. All Nations is to hear the Word of God so that they will have a chance to eternal life and to reign with Christ, 2 Timothy 2:12, Revelations 5:10. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the entire world for a witness to all nations; and then shall the end come, Matthew 24:14. In addition, I like the fact that Jesus made it plain that everything He has taught we must be observant to it and from there I believe a great manifestation will take place within us to accomplish the great things He did… To observe means from the word, teros or tay-reh'-o: a watch, to guard (from loss or injury, properly by keeping the eye upon; and which is properly to prevent escaping, which implies a fortress or full military lines of apparatus). When we guard the teachings of Christ from loss or injury which implies a fortress or full military lines of apparatus there is a war raging out there in the world and it is going to take Christ Teachings to manifest its self in us to defeat every opposition that comes up against the teachings of Christ. When the world can see the Power of God working in us destroying every evil work that comes up against the Teachings of Christ cannot be refuted! Everyone else and everything else must stand down against the Word of God it cannot be detained, restrained or tamed because it is the non-refutable, unadulterated Word of God! Jesus Christ will give us what we need to guard the Word of God, the Teachings of Christ from the wicked. We can prove it by the manifestation of it in our lives and that it is true because of its historicity throughout the ages. Moreover, Jesus will continue to give us the Power to reign and rule the darkness of the air because He said He will never leave us unto the very end of time. By the presence of Jesus Christ with us gives us the assurance that we are victorious and will continue to be victorious over every opposition! Today my friend, live your life as a Disciple of Christ under the rule and reign of Jesus Christ complete manifestation of His living word in you. Therefore, take ownership of the Teachings of Christ and ask God to manifest them in your life with all of its promises and commands in Jesus Name…
