THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL AT A TIME LIKE THIS(Mark 16:15-20)
Does any believer believe a time like this can come when we first believed? Whether we believe or not, there shall always be a time to challenge the power of the gospel in our lives. However, what should be important to us who believe is that all power in heaven and earth has been given to Jesus for our confidence in the proclamation of the gospel (Matthew 28:18).
Gospel or Good News is power of God for the salvation of those who believe that Christ died for their sins and rose from the dead to give them eternal life (Romans 1:16). The power of the gospel is therefore the revelation of the righteousness of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Romans 1:17 says “The righteous shall live by faith”. Only our believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ can give us righteousness of God.
However, the time we are passing through is a threat to the potency of the gospel or. good news of the salvation of the people . We are in the time when wickedness of the people is highly alarming (Romans 1:29). Two, we are in the time of pestilence that do not know whether you are a believer or unbeliever.

What shall we do with the power of the gospel at this challenging time.
1. We must be stubborn to our faith in the power of the gospel (Romans 1:16). We must learn from Apostle Paul who was not ashamed to stand for the Gospel of Jesus Christ at any given time whether difficult or easy time. He sees himself as a deptor of the Gospel to all people. How is gospel of Jesus in our hands at a time like this.

 2.  We must stand boldly to preach the gispel at a time like this. This is not the time to engage in complaining about the sufferings the Church is passing through, but to use every available technology to preach for the salvation of the evil and wicked people of our time (Mark 16:15-16). Those who believe will be saved and those who refuse will be condemned.

 3.  We must stand to demonstrate the power of the gospel (Mark 16:17-20). There are demons in our time that do not hide their identities. There are dangerous and crafty people like snake who are ready to poison anybody without remedy. There are deadly pestilence like cancer. all sorts of fevers, and the latest and most dangerous of them is Corona virus. The believers have opportunity to demonstrate the power of the gospel over them now. Jesus said that we will speak new languages as the Holy Spirit will give us utterance of the power over all the satanic that afflict people of our time.
Brethren, let us be strong in our faith in resurrection power of Jesus and herald his second coming by preaching and demonstrating the power of the gospel in our time. The name of the Lord will not be put to shame in our time. Do not be afraid at this time but be strong in the Lord.
JESUS IS LORD
