Introduction

On April 15, the Corral Call gathered with a powerful purpose: to explore the meaning of resurrection life, not just as a spiritual concept but as a practical lifestyle. As this date aligned with Nissan 17 on the Hebrew calendar, it was more than symbolic. It was significant. With contributions from Mr. Mark, Dr. Je, Mr. Luc, Jonathan, and others, the conversation dug into how resurrection life transforms how we live, lead, and work.

What is Nissan 17 and Why Does It Matter?

Nissan 17 is rich with biblical milestones:

Jesus rose from the dead on this day.

Noah’s Ark rested after the flood.

The Red Sea was crossed by the Israelites.

Manna ceased, marking a shift into new provision.

Dr. Je emphasized that this day isn’t random. It is filled with transformational events where something dead or stagnant was revived, just like Jesus’ resurrection.

Mr. Mark noted that even the name Jesus (Yeshua) means “salvation,” which speaks not only to eternal life but to wholeness in every area: spiritual, emotional, relational, and even financial.

Resurrection Life: A Practical Reality

Resurrection life isn’t just about being saved from sin. It is about walking in newness in every area of life.

1. In Business

Mr. Mark and Dr. Je shared how resurrection power can show up in entrepreneurship.

Invite the Holy Spirit into your workday.

Make space for prayer, worship, and listening before making business decisions.

Declare God’s promises over your business. Insert your business into scriptures and speak life over finances, clients, and vision.

Lead differently not by hustle alone but by God’s presence and wisdom.

Dr. Je added that entrepreneurship brings unique challenges. Resurrection life means we don’t face them alone. Prayer, community, and Holy Spirit-led decisions are keys to thriving in the marketplace.

2. In Ministry

SheepFeast isn’t just about software. It is about discipleship.

As Mr. Mark said, “We’re more than a tech company. We’re a kingdom company.”

Resurrection life in ministry means we disciple with transparency, practice what we preach, and build environments that reflect God’s presence.

3. In Family

Mr. Mark highlighted the role of speaking life over relationships, both personal and professional.

The same resurrection power that raised Jesus can restore families, heal broken connections, and strengthen marriages and friendships.

Community Voices: Mr. Luc and Jonathan Speak Up

Mr. Luc shared a moving reminder from Romans 8: The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in us.

He painted a vivid picture of resurrection power so strong that even the recently dead came back to life during Jesus’ resurrection. He called out how we sometimes forget the real level of power that lives within us and encouraged listeners not to take it for granted.

Luc also shared that he was born on the same day Israel was founded. A beautiful parallel to new birth and God’s divine timing.

Jonathan:

Resurrection Life in Business, Ministry, and Family, Jonathan gave a prophetic word about this season:

God is causing what is dead to come alive.

He tied this to Isaiah 43, where God promises to do a new thing. Whether it is a stalled business, a struggling family member, or your own passion, Jonathan declared that God is reviving things that seem lost. His message was filled with faith and a strong reminder that resurrection life extends into every area of our lives.

Walking in Resurrection Life: 3 Core Practices

1. Invite the Presence of God

Make prayer, worship, and listening to God central to your day, even in meetings and tasks.

2. Speak Life

Declare scriptures over your work, health, finances, and relationships. Replace negative self-talk with God’s truth.

3. Walk in Authority

Jesus delegated His authority to us. When we walk in resurrection life, we don’t shrink in hard moments. We bring peace, healing, and solutions because we carry the Spirit of God.

Final Reflections

As Mr. Mark reminded everyone, this resurrection life isn’t reserved for Sundays or spiritual leaders. It is real, practical, and meant for your business, your ministry, and your family.

And Dr. Je closed with a word for anyone feeling overwhelmed:

It’s okay to feel like you’re not in control because you’re really not. But God is. Give Him your worry and walk in His strength.

Conclusion

This Corral Call wasn’t just a talk. It was a reminder that resurrection life is our reality.

When we walk with God, speak His promises, and stay in community, everything changes. Even dead dreams can come back to life.
