The power of the cross of Jesus


The cross of Jesus is not merely a symbol—it is the epicenter of God’s redemptive power. It stands as the decisive moment where heaven intervened, hell was disarmed, and humanity’s destiny was rewritten. Through it, God demonstrated His love, revealed His justice, and secured eternal victory.

1. The Cross breaks the power of sin

Humanity was bound under sin’s dominion, powerless to rescue itself. At the cross, Christ beared the penalty we deserved and removed sin’s grip on our lives.

“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” — 2 Corinthians 5:21

The cross didn’t just forgive sin, it exchanged our guilt for His righteousness.


2. The Cross defeats satan and every dark power

What looked like Christ’s defeat was actually the devil’s downfall. The cross exposed and disarmed every spiritual enemy.

“Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.” — Colossians 2:15

The cross is God’s announcement that Satan’s legal claim over your life is cancelled forever.


3. The Cross reconciles us to God

The greatest miracle of the cross is restored relationship. Through Christ’s sacrifice, the separation caused by sin was removed, granting us peace with God.

“But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.” — Ephesians 2:13

What Adam lost, Christ restored.


4. The Cross releases the power of love

There is no clearer demonstration of God’s heart than the cross. Love moved Him to suffer, save, and stand in our place.

“But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8

The cross reveals our worth, not in who we are in ourselves, but in what God was willing to pay for us.


5. The Cross opens the door to a new life

Salvation is not just what we are saved from, it is what we are saved into. The cross is the gateway to transformation, empowerment, and resurrection life.

“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” — Galatians 2:20

The old has passed away, and Christ’s life now flows in the believer.


The cross is where death lost its sting, where grace gained its throne, and where eternity touched earth. It remains the power of God for those who believe; not a past event, but a present reality shaping every step of our journey.

Let the cross anchor your heart, silence your fears, and fuel your worship. Everything you need (freedom, identity, authority, and hope) flows from what Christ accomplished on the cross for you.


Stay blessed and rapturable!

He gives power to the weak

  Judges 13–16, Isaiah 40:28-31 “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.”  –  Isaiah 40:28-29 (NKJV) There are moments in life when we feel exhausted, discouraged, and without the strength to move forward. The trials of life, disappointments, and failures can cause us to lose hope. But God has promised to give new strength to the weak. No matter how broken, lost, or defeated we feel, God’s power to restore and renew is unmatched. The story of Samson in the book of Judges is a powerful testimony of God’s ability to restore and give new purpose, even when everything seems lost. This message is a call to awakening—a call to rise in God’s strength, to reclaim the mission and vision that God has placed in our hearts. Samson’s story shows both failure and restoration...

Que votre coeur ne se trouble point, gardez silence et Dieu combattra pour vous

Exode 14 13 Moïse répondit au peuple: Ne craignez rien, restez en place, et regardez la délivrance que l’Eternel va vous accorder en ce jour; car les Egyptiens que vous voyez aujourd’hui, vous ne les verrez plus jamais. 14 L’Eternel combattra pour vous; et vous, gardez le silence. Dans la vie chrétienne, nous sommes parfois amenés à passer dans un desert spirituel sans pourtant comprendre le pourquoi. Le desert spirituel est une chose difficile pour tout chrétien et nous avons du mal à faire face à de telles situations. Ce genre de desert se manifeste par le découragement face à des problèmes, le fait de ne plus porter de bons fruits dans notre vie chrétienne et aussi la crainte qui s’empare de notre coeur face à des épreuves et tribulations. Même si nous n’avons pas perdu notre foi, nous avons du mal à prier et nous croyons que Dieu semble être loin de nous à des milliers de kilometres. Nous esssayons de jeûner pour chercher la face de Dieu mais nous ne le pouvons pas à cause de n...

You are a planting of the Lord

2Sa 13:17-19 17 He called his personal servant and said, “Get this woman out of my sight and bolt the door after her.” 18 So his servant put her out and bolted the door after her. She was wearing an ornate robe, for this was the kind of garment the virgin daughters of the king wore. 19 Tamar put ashes on her head and tore the ornate robe she was wearing. She put her hands on her head and went away, weeping aloud as she went. Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her. The story is about two of King David's children (Amnon and Tamar) When Amnon had finished to rape his sister Tamar, he hated her more than how he loved her (In fact he didn't love her, he had lust concerning her. Love is patient and kind.) The most important thing to learn in this story is how a simple act can destroy a life of somebody. Tamar followed all things the jewish culture asked her to do. She kept herself virgin for the one...
