John 11:25-26 "But He who believes and lives in Me shall never die” Let's not be confused, the Lord is describing the procedure of Death and Life. He is not describing two kinds of believers here like I thought over a decade ago. He is showing us how BEFORE meets AFTER. If a man believes in Christ, Death shall come His way in many areas but it is a means to an end. Blessed is he if he opens up the door for God to work. For God will come to work every day. He who hath begun the good work intends to perfect it. He is not only able to perfect it. Halleluyah! He seriously intends to perfect it…till the day of Christ. Every man who has allowed death in an area of life has done well. Shortly after, he shall begin to live again. But this time, to die no more in that area.  _"He who believes and lives in me shall never die"._ For where death has done its work, the life that succeeds it is an immortal life. It shall never die. To this I say – *DEATH IS THE SECRET OF

JOHN 11:25-26 " THOUGH ... H e may die” But the Lord also uses the word “Though” to qualify death here. And my reference now is to the use of the word. I think He did it so that you might understand that Death is not a “ _big deal_ ”. It is a means. It is a “ _fling_ ”. It is in passing. It is not the end. It is not to be worried about. It is only a necessity. God has to do what He has to do. He can’t skip the process. It may look scary but it is not as scary as it looks. It may seem hopeless but it is not as hopeless as you think. In fact, it is not hopeless at all. Death is a “ _though thing_ ”; An interjection in the operation of Redemption. It is a “ _though thing”_ in God’s scheme, and it shall never be more than that. Trust Him! ................. #FromSundaysMessage (C) Faith Oluwagbesan April 2019

JOHN 11:25-26 *“…Yet He shall live…”* Where God sends death, He is sure to follow up with Life. It is a promise. You can take it to the bank. God shall not fail at it. He has never failed at it. This is a more assertive statement. For God, Death is always a means to Life! Death, in God’s work, is never an end. Instead, it is a means to an end. Watch out! If God sends Death towards an area of your life, it is so that He can follow it up swiftly with Life. Though your business may die, or anything for that matter, if it is God at work, it shall yet live. For Death will afford God the platform to filter that which is of Adam and Self in it. And to do a definite reconstruction by which a large way is paved for the life of Christ; that which the bible calls - “ _THE LIFE_ ”, to flow through it. That is the Resurrection! God has a super plan in mind; to re-imburse you with a resurrected version; an upgraded thing. Do not be misled about the scheme of things. Redemption works in this

"I am the Resurrection and the Life. He who believes in me though he may die, yet shall he live. But he who believes and lives in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" How can Lord? How can we believe this if we don't even understand these deep words? Yes we know that you are challenging us to check them up and see what they mean, for they unfold something essential to our Christian experience. For so many years, this scripture had me confused. I propounded my theories and gave my interpretation...until the Light of the Holy Spirit broke out for me. And i ask you to join me as we attempt to explore this in bits. "Though he MAY die " Yes, all things being equal, the gospel is expected to offer a Death package to those who accept it. No! Not the kind of death you might be thinking. And no! This is no sad news. God’s offer of death is always a means to an end. He has life in view, but presents death in the interim. Contrary to the expectation of some, i
