Sunday is Coming!

Today may be your Friday, but Sunday is coming. CFVL wishes you a happy Easter! It is my hope that as you celebrate this year’s Easter, you will imbibe its lessons and significance.

Easter Friday marks the day Jesus laid down his life for the salvation of humanity. Easter Sunday marks the resurrection and victory of Jesus over death, satan, sin and sicknesses.

Looking back at the incident at Calvary that fateful Friday, it was as though a cloud of doom hung on Jesus’ head. When Jesus groaned, “It is finished,” and gave up the ghost, it was as though there was no hope of resurrection. His disciples and acquaintances gave up hope of Jesus ever resurrecting.

However, three days after his crucifixion, Jesus resurrected and showed himself to His disciples and acquaintances. He even told them to meet with him in Galilea, a day after His resurrection.

Like Jesus, there will come a Friday in your life when it appears all hope is gone. You look for a job, but you can’t find any. You are faced with challenges, but despite all your effort, it appears you are not making any headway. You tried the best you can to move out of poverty, but you are still enmeshed in it.

When you find yourself in a situation like these, you need to remember that this is your Friday and that Sunday is coming.

In the calendar of man, every week includes a Friday and a Sunday. And when Friday comes and goes, Sunday will equally come and go. If today is your Friday, rest assured that no matter how gloomy it may be, it will give way for Sunday to come.

When you see Friday as a period of trial and Sunday as a period of victory, you will realise that trial comes before victory. If you are facing trial today, remember that it is your Friday. Friday will not continue forever. It will come and go, paving way for Sunday to come.

Do you want to be victorious in life? Then, you need to remind yourself constantly that no matter how gloomy Friday may be, Sunday is coming. No matter how difficult the challenge, you don’t have to throw your hands off in despair and give up. Never give up because Sunday is coming. There is hope even when you think all hope is gone. 

It is worth reiterating that Jesus accomplished all round victory for us and all we need do to guarantee our victory is to key into this victory. And the way to key into it is to exercise faith in God. In Mark 11: 22-24, Jesus said: “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”

The assurance of Sunday’s coming is anchored on your faith. Start exercising faith today and the gloom of Friday will give way to the joy and victory of Sunday.

Happy Easter once again.
