Elixir of Life!

I just finished the movie "dying with the king" and I must say kudos goes to the Mike Bamiloye clan. That aside, I wept like  baby, and I will proceed to explain why. I was already sensing that feeling that arises in you, when you see the power of God at work. I saw the lady 'Fadekemi' and her friends praying for 'Alade', and immediately recollected that there is nothing like the prayer covering given to us believers. The point at which I broke down and wept however, was where 'Fadekemi' was in the shrine, and her ropes came undone, one would expect her to dash out, but she made a makeshift cross using the very ropes that held her bound. This is symbolic, i don't know if i am the only one that sees the connection with the fact that when we come to the cross, our chains come undone and are nailed to that old rugged tree. The thought that followed close on the heels of this thought was what a comfort the sight of the cross is to the travel-weary and discouraged child. In her fear, once she had the cross in sight and in hand, she went ahead to wreck havoc on that representation of the kingdom of darkness, so also as believers we have the authority to do the same once we come to the cross. If we keep our eyes fixed on Christ and keep His word in our hand and heart, we can do exploits as it is written in Daniel 11:32b, those who know their God shall be strong and shall do exploits. The clencher for me was the hospital scene, hence the title elixir of life: 'Alade' was on the sick bed, in pain, and at the point of death, but then MY GOD...The great physician stepped in with the assurance that all would be well, then HE gave him of His blood, that sweet elixir of life, and LIFE began to flow. I am desiring to be drunk on this elixir, to be so steeped in its' sweetness, that all of me reflects HIM. Indeed Galatians 2:20 says it all, the life which i now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me, and gave himself for me. I would definitely tag the movie a must watch, and as usual i close out with a song from Chris Tomlin. Enjoy!
