I have heard a lot about men who have claimed to be the “Saviour” of mankind. Some have even claimed they are “God on Earth”. I have heard of “Jesus of Oyingbo”, Olumba Olumba Obu, The gurus, The Grandmasters of Eckankar and Amorc etc.

I have heard of Jim Jones of America, who proclaimed himself to be God and deceived over 900 of his followers to drink cyanide poisoned ponche, killing them.

Some of these men claimed they will never die. Some of them claimed they will resurrect after some days. Well, they all died when their time was up and never resurrected.

There are those who believe in Mohammed as “Allah’s” prophet and choose Him over Jesus Christ (called Isa in their holy book).

Well, we all know that Mohammed died and never rose up nor ascended to Heaven, so what is the hope they have beyond this world?

Thank God, we have a saviour, Jesus Christ, who can save to the uttermost
Thank God, we have a redeemer, Jesus Christ, who cannot be conquered by death
Thank God, the Son of God himself made the greatest sacrifice for us
Thank God, He died but is not dead.
Thank God, He resurrected and ascended into Heaven!

Perhaps there are some who may read this who believe in the gurus, grandmasters, Olumba Olumba Obu and Mohammeds of this world, I like them to examine the claims of the ones they have chosen to believe and do pray that their eyes of understanding might be open to know the truth!

Hallelujah Jesus Christ could not be held down by the power of the grave. He arose victoriously over hell and death, Satan and sin (Matthew 28:1-10).

Today if you trust in Him, you shall also experience His resurrection power (Philippians 3:10). Move over from death to life, put your trust in Jesus Christ and make Him your Lord and you shall have eternal abundant life triumphant over the power of Sin.

May you encounter that resurrection power that transforms sinners to saints today.
