Day 1: Go and Tell
Devo ✨
In Matthew 28, the angel gave a simple but powerful instruction: “Go and tell.” The resurrection was not meant to stay at the tomb. It was meant to be carried into homes, streets, hearts, and nations. When Jesus rose, everything changed. Fear no longer had the final say. Shame no longer had the final say. Death no longer had the final say.
The women came to the tomb grieving, but they left with holy purpose. They were the first carriers of resurrection news. That same call is still on us today. We are people who have good news to carry. Jesus is alive. He still saves. He still restores. He still meets people in their pain. Whether you’ve walked with Jesus for decades or you’re still learning to trust Him, your testimony matters. Somebody needs the hope you carry. Somebody needs to hear what Jesus has done.

The resurrection is not just news to celebrate. It is news to share.
Prayer 🙏
Lord Jesus, thank You for rising from the grave. Thank You for giving me hope that is alive and secure in You. Help me not keep this good news to myself. Fill my heart with courage and joy so I can go and tell others that You are alive. Amen.

Action Step 👣
Send a text, make a call, or speak to one person today and share a simple word of hope about Jesus.
Day 2: A Detour Is Not Death
Devo ✨
Paul was urgently moving toward Jerusalem when his plans were disrupted. A plot against his life forced a change in route. What looked like interruption was not the end. God was still leading, still working, and still accomplishing His purpose.
Many of us know what it feels like when life takes a turn we did not expect. We had plans. We had vision. We thought we knew the road ahead. Then everything changed. In those moments, it is easy to think God has abandoned the journey. But a detour is not the same as death. The road may look different, but God is still present. He is still Lord over the reroute.
Sometimes the very place we would never have chosen becomes the place where God does some of His deepest work in us. He teaches us trust. He shapes our character. He opens doors we never would have seen on the original path. Resurrection power means God can breathe life into the very place that feels like loss.
Truth2Hold 🌿
A detour in your life does not mean God is done with your story.
Prayer 🙏
Father, I give You the places in my life that feel interrupted, delayed, or broken. Help me trust You when the path changes. Remind me that You are still working even in the detour. Breathe fresh hope into my heart today. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Faith Challenge 💛
Think of one area of your life that feels off-course. Surrender it to God again.
Action Step 👣
Write this down and keep it where you can see it: “A detour is not death. God is still leading me.”
Day 3: Resurrection Power Still Reaches Today
Devo ✨
In Acts 20, Eutychus fell from a third-story window and was taken up dead. It was sudden and heartbreaking. But Paul went down, embraced him, and by the power of God, life returned. What an incredible reminder that the resurrection power of Jesus did not stop at the empty tomb. It continued through the early church and it still reaches us today.
That matters because many people are carrying things that feel dead right now. Maybe it is joy. Maybe it is peace. Maybe it is a dream, a relationship, or a deep sense of purpose. Maybe your faith feels weak and your heart feels tired. Easter tells us that Jesus still has power over what feels hopeless.
This does not mean every hard situation changes overnight. But it does mean God is not powerless in the face of your pain. He is still able to revive, restore, strengthen, and renew. He is still the God of resurrection.
Truth2Hold 🌿
What feels dead to you is not beyond the reach of Jesus.
Prayer 🙏
Jesus, thank You that Your resurrection power is still alive and active. I bring You the places in my life that feel empty, broken, or worn down. Touch them with Your life. Revive what is weak. Restore what has been lost. Renew my faith in Your power. Amen.
Faith Challenge 💛
Choose one burden you have been carrying and bring it to Jesus honestly in prayer.
Action Step 👣
Take five quiet minutes today and ask the Lord, “Where do You want to breathe life into me again?”
Day 4: Come Expecting His Power
Devo ✨
Acts 20 tells us the believers gathered on the first day of the week. That was not random. Sunday was resurrection day. They gathered because Jesus had risen. Every time they came together, they were remembering that death had already been defeated.
That should shape the way we come to worship too. We do not gather out of routine only. We gather in remembrance, in faith, and in expectation. We come because Jesus is alive. We come because His Spirit is present. We come believing He still speaks, still heals, still convicts, still encourages, and still moves among His people.
As Assemblies of God believers, we joyfully hold to the truth of the baptism in the Holy Spirit and the ongoing work of the Spirit in the Church. We do not gather just to remember what God once did. We gather believing He still does mighty things today.
Truth2Hold 🌿
Because Jesus is alive, we can come into His presence with expectation.
Prayer 🙏
Lord, forgive me for the times I come into worship distracted or dull in heart. Renew my expectation. Help me remember that I am gathering with Your people because You are alive and present. Let my faith rise again as I worship You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Faith Challenge 💛
The next time you gather for church, prayer, or Bible study, come expecting God to speak and move.
Action Step 👣
Before your next church service, pray this simple prayer: “Lord, I come expecting Your presence and power.”
Day 5: Resurrection Power Creates Urgency
Devo ✨
After the miracle in Troas, Paul kept moving. He was headed toward Jerusalem. He was driven by purpose. He was not rushing because life was easy. He was moving because he knew the gospel mattered and time mattered.
When Jesus truly changes your life, it stirs something in you. It creates urgency. Not panic. Not striving. But purpose. You begin to realize your life belongs to Him. Your words matter. Your witness matters. Your obedience matters. There are people to love, truth to share, prayers to pray, and steps of faith to take.
Maybe God has been nudging you toward something. Maybe it is a conversation, a deeper prayer life, a step of ministry, a fresh surrender, or a long-delayed yes. Do not keep putting it off. The same God who saves you also empowers you. The Holy Spirit gives strength for every assignment He gives.
Truth2Hold 🌿
If Christ is risen, then my life must respond with obedience and purpose.
Prayer 🙏
Holy Spirit, stir fresh faith in me. Break fear, hesitation, and doubt. Give me courage to say yes to what You are asking of me. Let my life reflect the power of the risen Jesus. Use me for Your glory. Amen.
Faith Challenge 💛
Identify one area where God has been prompting you to obey.
