READ: ROMANS 7:4-6
There are spiritual
laws, and there are physical laws. Spiritual laws are stronger than physical
ones and can displace the latter at any time just as the judgement in a
magistrate court can be set aside by a supreme court. For instance, there is a
law that operates in the earthly plane called the law of death. This law says
that anyone who dies must remain dead and his body must remain trapped in the
grave in a lifeless form. There is another law that rivals this. It is a law
that operates in the spirit realm called the law of resurrection. This law says
that any dead person on whom the law is applied must be restored to life.
In John 11:23-26, after the law of death was applied on Lazarus and he died, Jesus who is the Law of Resurrection went there and applied the greater law and he lived again. One of the two laws must apply to the life of everyone that comes into this world. The law of death governs anyone who is not born again. This is why no sinner can raise the dead. They can only operate with the law of death that operates in them by taking lives. If you murder, you are operating the law of death and that same law will eventually kill you and drown your soul in hell. If you claim to be a believer or even a minister of God but your conduct, speech, dealings with fellow believers, always pulls down, discourages, marginalizes, victimizes, degrades, witch haunts or even kills, you are governed by the law of death and one day, you will also be a victim of the law that operates in you.
Jesus operates the law of resurrection hence every contact with Him brought about the fruits of resurrection. Any good thing that was dead could not maintain its status quo as long as Jesus was around. When He died, because of the law of resurrection He operated, all His earthly years, He was greater than the law of dead –in the battle between both laws, the law of Resurrection became victorious, hence Jesus rose to live forevermore. His grave remains empty. One would have cause to doubt if some who claim to be born again are really saved. This is because, contrary to the operation of the Law of resurrection that should be operating in them according to Romans 8:11, there is no benefit whatsoever. Their bodies are dying with sickness, their businesses are dead and the law of death is holding sway in their lives. One reason the law of Resurrection is not in operation in the lives of such believers is because they are still operating the law of death. Which law are you operating?

ROMANS 5:21 –That as sin has reigned to death, even so might grace reign
through righteousness to eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
