MORE THAN CONQUERORS

MORE THAN CONQUERORS: YOUR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN REDEMPTION! 

“Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through HIM that LOVED us” Romans 8:37 

IT’S TIME TO APPROPRIATE AND ENACT TO RECEIVE THE NEEDED ENABLING OF WHO YOU ARE AS MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS. 

One gracious and graceful thing God DID FOR US in REDEMPTION by Christ Jesus was and is, to ENSURE and AUTHENTICATE that we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; hence, Christ Jesus RECEIVES and GIVES GIFTS to us, as our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in HIM. 

And Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE to us these REDEMPTION rights and privileges to enable us to STAY AFLOAT as MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION. 

There are Seven (7) Spiritual blessings and Five (5) Ministerial gifts, which are firstly in the heavenly places, and we are to APPROPRIATE and ENACT them on earth. 

Today, we can virtually see the five in manifestation and operation, but there is a STRUGGLE with the seven in the Believer’s day-to-day living. But WHY? 

When you watch some ACTS and LISTEN to the use of WORD in the course of most PRAYERS, TEACHING and PREACHING, you wonder if indeed some people KNOW that what God has given them only requires ACCEPTANCE with THANKSGIVING and THANKS-LIVING to help one APPROPRIATE and ENACT it into REALITY. 

In life, when you are given something, say a gift, you RECEIVE and ACCEPT it with thanks. You don’t go about ASKING again and again for what’s already GIVEN to you. 

Unfortunately, the continuous attitude of ASKING for the same thing is what most Believers have made their practice in Prayers, even in their FASTING GALORE to measure spirituality; and instead of RECEIVING and GIVING THANKS they are ASKING and ASKING and ASKING… 

Instead of them to see the need to maintain a HEART of GRATITUDE as the ATTITUDE in which they will then enhance their ALTITUDE in life and godliness in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. 

Most times Believers are occupied with programs that are more or less attached with religious obligations, traditions/customs of men, oblations and bye-laws, dogmas, and such like; and these in most cases have kept us in a particular routine and setting with no substance that can do us any good in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

We FAST and PRAY for the same thing and stay in the same acts and process just because it seems good, even when it’s obvious we are acting and praying AMISS and in ERROR and UNSCRIPTURALLY. 

That is not the Gospel of God in our Redemption in Christ Jesus; and as such, we cannot APPROPRIATE and ENACT our rights and privileges WHOLLY, COMPLETELY and at the same time live as MORE THAN CONQUERORS in our REDEMPTION.  

Therefore, it is your TIME to EXPRESS in order to ENACT and AUTHENTICATE your FAITH with the heartfelt attitude of RECEIVING, THANKSGIVING and THANKS-LIVING, which is the PRINCIPLE CORE to your rights and privileges in these seven (7) key REDEMPTION DONE DEALS for us in Christ as stated: 

  1. POWER (Authority) — In place of fear, oppression, intimidation etc. [Luke 10:19; 2 Timothy 1:7]
  2. RICHES (Prosperity) — In place of poverty, hunger, famine, lack etc. [3 John 2; 2 Corinthians 8:9; Philippians 4:19; Ephesians 1:3]
  3. WISDOM (Mental) — Sound mind & mental IQ in place of ignorance, foolishness etc. [James 1:5; Luke 2:40, 52]
  4. STRENGTH (Physique) — In place of weakness, sickness, and all ‘ness etc. [Philippians 4:13; Isaiah 40:28-30]
  5. HONOUR (Dignity) — In place of dishonour, shame, disdain, inferiority etc. [Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21]
  6. GLORY (Beauty & Adoration) — In place of reproach, embarrassment, ashes, shame etc. [Isaiah 61:3; 1 Peter 2:5, 9]
  7. BLESSING (Empowering & Bestowed Grace) — In place of curses, setbacks, stagnation etc. [Ephesians 1:3; Proverbs 10:22; 2 Peter 1:2-4]

I pray that THESE that Christ has RECEIVED and GIVEN us in His REDEMPTION DEED will be APPROPRIATED and ENACTED in our lives accordingly. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who HAD BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL blessings in HEAVENLY places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3. 

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth . . . 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to RECEIVE POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM, and STRENGHT, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING” Revelation 5:9-12. 

“Thou hast ASCENDED on high, thou hast LED captivity captive: thou hast RECEIVED gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them” Psalms 68:18. 

“Wherefore he saith, When he ASCENDED up on high, he LED captivity captive, and GAVE gifts unto men . . . 11 And he GAVE some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers” Ephesians 4:7-11. 

SUMMARY 
The message is A CHARGE TO BELIEVERS TO STOP BEGGING FOR WHAT REDEMPTION HAS ALREADY GIVEN AND TO BEGIN APPROPRIATING AND ENACTING OUR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES AS “MORE THAN CONQUERORS” IN CHRIST JESUS. 

It teaches that God has already ENSURED and AUTHENTICATED our victory in Redemption, and Christ has RECEIVED and GIVEN us Gifts, Blessings and Enablement as our inheritance. The struggle in the church today is not lack, but failure to RECEIVE with THANKSGIVING and THANKS-LIVING. 

KEY POINTS: 

  1. OUR POSITION IN REDEMPTION
  • God’s gracious act in Redemption was to ENSURE and AUTHENTICATE that we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION — Romans 8:37 
  • Christ RECEIVES and GIVES GIFTS to us as our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES IN HIM to enable us to STAY AFLOAT as conquerors.
  1. WHAT HAS BEEN GIVEN: 7 + 5
  • Seven (7) Spiritual Blessings which are FIRSTLY in heavenly places: POWER, RICHES, WISDOM, STRENGTH, HONOUR, GLORY, BLESSING — [Revelation 5:12, Ephesians 1:3] 
  • Five (5) Ministerial Gifts: Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, Teachers — [Ephesians 4:11] 
  • We can see the 5 Ministerial Gifts in operation today, but there is a STRUGGLE with the 7 Spiritual Blessings in the Believer’s day-to-day living.
  1. THE PROBLEM: ASKING INSTEAD OF RECEIVING
  • Many Believers live in religious routines, traditions, dogmas and “FASTING GALORE” yet keep ASKING and ASKING for what God has already GIVEN. 
  • This is praying AMISS, in ERROR and UNSCRIPTURALLY — James 4:3 
  • What God has given only requires ACCEPTANCE with THANKSGIVING and THANKS-LIVING to APPROPRIATE and ENACT it into REALITY. 
  • When you are given a gift, you don’t keep asking for it. You RECEIVE and GIVE THANKS.
  1. THE PRINCIPLE: GRATITUDE RAISES ALTITUDE
  • Instead of ASKING, we need a HEART of GRATITUDE as the ATTITUDE that will enhance our ALTITUDE in life and godliness in God’s BLESSEDNESS. 
  • The 7 Redemption Done Deals are for: 
  • POWER — instead of fear [Luke 10:19] 
     
  • RICHES — instead of lack [2 Corinthians 8:9] 
     
  • WISDOM — instead of ignorance [James 1:5] 
     
  • STRENGTH — instead of sickness [Philippians 4:13] 
     
  • HONOUR — instead of shame [Ephesians 1:7] 
     
  • GLORY — instead of reproach [Isaiah 61:3] 
     
  • BLESSING — instead of curses [Proverbs 10:22] 
     
  1. THE SCRIPTURAL FOUNDATION
  • “Who HATH BLESSED us with ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY places in Christ” — Ephesians 1:3 
  • “He ASCENDED… and GAVE gifts unto men” — Ephesians 4:8 
  • “Worthy is the Lamb… to RECEIVE POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM…” — Revelation 5:12

THE BLESSING OF GOD 

By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSING OF GOD: IT IS NOT MATERIAL STUFF SUCH AS – CAR, PROPERTY, MONEY AND MORE! 

“The BLESSING of the LORD MAKES a person RICH, He ADDS NO SORROW to it” Proverbs 10:22. 

Having material gains as CAR, PROPERTY, MONEY and MORE may be the RESULTS of God’s BLESSINGS, but they are not THE BLESSING of God. THE BLESSING of God is the ENABLING and ENDOWED grace bestowed upon the BELIEVERS in Christ, and it is firstly SPIRITUAL before it takes a PHYSICAL hold and effect as a result of its operations and manifestations. For there are many people that have obtained all these material things mentioned above through illicit, wicked, oppressive and devilish ways. Could that be God – NO. Hence, those are not THE BLESSING of God. 

“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee POWER [ENABLING, ENDOWMENT, ENDUEMENT] to GET [CREATE, INNOVATE, INITIATE, EXPLORE] wealth, that he may ESTABLISH his COVENANT which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18. 

Also, ‘Being Blessed of God’ simply MEANS – to be EMPOWERED TO: Succeed, Achieve, Become, Innovate, Create, Get and such like. For it is THE BLESSING of God that makes one ENRICHED in the kingdom and thus SUSTAINS that enrichment; it is not just about having material acquisitions such as money, property, car and more as is commonly known that makes one rich. For money and other material gains HAVE WINGS – they come and they go. But THE BLESSING OF GOD that enriches us ABIDES forever. Meaning, you can keep being EMPOWERED to succeed again and again, no matter what levels of challenges are around you. [Genesis 26:1-5, 12-25]. 

So if you must crave and pursue, CRAVE and PURSUE God’s BLESSING and build your life on God’s blessing which will eventually enrich you, and not just a pursuit of wealth or material acquisitions. 

  • God’s BLESSINGS are wholesome, total, complete, fulfilling, peaceful, all- embracing and are not limited to things physical only, but to the TOTAL BEING of man – spirit, soul and body [1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13; Luke 2:52]. 
  • God’s BLESSINGS empower and create enrichment and fulfilment in His grace. And the New Creation Testament BLESSEDNESS is UNCONDITIONAL, meaning it is not based on “IF” CONDITIONS as it was in the Old Testament due to human frailty and depravity to meet heavenly requirements and demands – which were FULFILLED in Lord Jesus. [Ephesians 1:3; Galatians 3:13-14; Deuteronomy 8:18; Deuteronomy 28:1-2, 5, 9, 11, (1-15)]. 
  • Know also that you are POSITIONALLY BLESSED of God already, and it is through KNOWLEDGE that you can ENACT and AUTHENTICATE it into reality [Ephesians 1:3/2 Peter 1:2-4]. And your BLESSEDNESS is HEAVENLY SECURED and PROTECTED in grace [Ephesians 1:3, 20; Ephesians 2:6; Matthew 6:19-20]. And the BLESSEDNESS can be made TANGIBLE by FAITH – by acting on the Word in context accordingly. 

Therefore, I say to you, LIVE ON GOD’S BLESSEDNESS and all other things will come together in due season.  

I pray that the BLESSINGS of God be your vehicle of enrichment in Jesus’ precious name, Amen. 

Blessed regards.

“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee POWER (Enabling) to GET (Create, Innovate) wealth, that he may ESTABLISH his COVENANT which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18.

THE BLESSING OF GOD is God’s ENABLING GRACE in Christ that EMPOWERS, ENRICHES, and SUSTAINS the TOTAL MAN — spirit, soul and body — and it ABIDES forever.

LIVING THE BLESSED LIFE 

By Leave a Comment

LIVING THE BLESSED LIFE: “THE BLESSING OF GOD” IS IN TOTALITY [WHOLESOMENESS] – AND IT’S LIFE GIVING IN BLESSEDNESS! 

“THE BLESSING of the LORD MAKES a person RICH, He ADDS NO SORROW to it” Proverbs 10:22. 

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3. 

THE BLESSING of God is the ENABLING and ENDOWED grace bestowed upon BELIEVERS in Christ, and it is firstly SPIRITUAL before it takes a PHYSICAL hold and effect as a result of its operation, administration and manifestation. 

It therefore means that THE BLESSING of God is not MATERIAL STUFF — such as cars, property, money, precious stones of silver, gold, diamonds and the like — as some people may think or suggest. 

Physical things rot, decay and expire. But God’s BLESSEDNESS does not rot, decay or expire — and it is not limited by, nor subjected to, any human, demonic or natural factor. 

It is a TREASURED enabler from heaven for earthly affairs in humanity. 

“Do not LAY UP for yourselves TREASURES on earth, where MOTH and RUST destroy and where THIEVES break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves TREASURES in heaven, where neither MOTH nor RUST destroys and where THIEVES do not break in and steal. 21 For where your TREASURE is, there your HEART will be also” Matthew 6:19-21. 

Hence, having material gains such as CARS, PROPERTY, MONEY and MORE are the results of THE BLESSING of God, but they are not THE BLESSING of God itself. 

However, there are many people who have obtained all these material things through illicit, wicked, oppressive and devilish means as well. Could that be considered THE BLESSING of God? 
The answer is NO. NEVER. NOT AT ALL. 

Those are not THE BLESSING of God, because you cannot measure God’s BLESSEDNESS by physical possessions. 
For a man’s life in BLESSEDNESS does not consist of, nor is it measured by, the abundance of physical things he thinks he possesses. 

“And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of COVETOUSNESS: for a MAN’S LIFE CONSISTETH NOT in the ABUNDANCE of the things which he POSSESSETH” Luke 12:15. 

There is the need to know full well that — ‘TO BE BLESSED OF GOD’ simply means to be EMPOWERED to — SUCCEED, ACHIEVE, BECOME, INNOVATE, CREATE, INITIATE, EXPLORE, GET and the like. 

For it is THE BLESSING of God that makes one enriched in the Kingdom, and it is also that which sustains that enrichment of BLESSEDNESS. 

And it must be noted that in the Kingdom, enrichment is not just about having material acquisitions such as money, property, cars and more that men call “rich”. 

You need to know full well that RICHES — otherwise depicted as the material gains of this world such as money and other precious materials of worth — HAVE WINGS. 
They COME to one, and they can also GO out of one’s reach. 
Hence you see many who were once called rich by human perception are now totally bankrupt and needy. 

“Will you SET YOU EYES on that which is not? For RICHES certainly makes themselves WINGS; they fly away like an eagle towards heaven” Proverbs 23:5. 

You need to know that in life and by grace, it is only THE BLESSING of God that enriches and possesses the assured enabling that makes one to ABIDE and ABOUND forever in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. 

It therefore means you can be EMPOWERED to succeed again and again, no matter what levels of challenge are about you — even as Isaac, the son of Abraham, experienced with God in famine after having been in plenty at another time. — Genesis 26:1-5, 12-25 

So if you must crave and pursue anything in life and godliness, then crave and pursue God’s given BLESSEDNESS — that is, THE BLESSING of God — and build your life on God’s given BLESSEDNESS, which will eventually enrich you wholly. 

Do not build your life merely on the pursuit of wealth or material acquisitions, as many do, or think, or suggest, and then depict it as God’s blessing. 

Be it known that “THE BLESSING OF GOD” under the OLD TESTAMENT was based on condition — with an “IF”. 

Thus indicating you had to fulfil God’s set order of works to earn His BLESSEDNESS — which none could, and it was found difficult to attain in the human depraved state of being at that time. 

“And it shall come to pass, IF thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 and all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, IF thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God . . . 9 The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, IF thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways . . . 13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; IF that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them . . .” Deuteronomy 28:1-3, 9, 13-14. 

Unlike the OLD TESTAMENT, THE BLESSING OF GOD under the NEW TESTAMENT is based on “FAITH” in the “REDEMPTION WORK OF GRACE” in Christ Jesus — which is a done deed, for all eternity. 

It does not have an “IF” element, neither is it based on condition. 
For it is a BLESSEDNESS based on God’s imputation of RIGHTEOUSNESS, and not of man’s work to attain or to merit from God. 

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3. 

THEREFORE KNOW FULL WELL THAT: 

  • THE BLESSING OF GOD is in totality — wholesome, fulfilling, peaceful, all-embracing — and is not limited to physical things only, but extends to the total being of man: spirit, soul and body. — 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Luke 2:52
  • THE BLESSING OF GOD empowers, gives enabling, rights, privileges, and creates enrichment and fulfilment. — Deuteronomy 8:18
  • And you are BLESSED with THE BLESSING OF GOD as a possession already. — Ephesians 1:3; 2 Peter 1:2-4 
    And it can be made tangible today by FAITH — acting on THE WORD accordingly as you BELIEVE. 

Henceforth, I say to you: Live on God’s gracious BLESSEDNESS and all other things will come together in due time. 

I pray that THE BLESSINGS of God be your vehicle of enrichment in Christ Jesus’ precious name. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“THE BLESSING of the LORD MAKES a person RICH, He ADDS NO SORROW to it” Proverbs 10:22. 

“Who shall ASCEND into the hill of the Lord? or who shall STAND in his holy place? 4 He that hath CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who hath NOT LIFTED UP his soul unto vanity, nor SWORN deceitfully. 5 He shall receive THE BLESSING from the Lord, and RIGHTEOUSNESS from the God of his salvation” Psalms 24:3-5. 

“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee POWER (Enabling, Right) to GET (CREATE, INNOVATE, INITIATE) WEALTH, that he may ESTABLISH his COVENANT which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18. 

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from YOUR MOUTH, but YOU shall MEDITATE in it DAY and NIGHT, that YOU may OBSERVE to do according to all that is WRITTEN in it. For then YOU will MAKE your way PROSPEROUS, and then YOU will have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8. 

“Beloved, I pray that you may PROSPER in all things and be in HEALTH, just as your SOUL PROSPERS” 3 John 1:2. 

Further Scriptural Reading Text: Genesis 26:1-5, 12-25. 

SUMMARY: 
The message is a doctrinal teaching and exhortation on LIVING THE BLESSED LIFE — clarifying that THE BLESSING OF GOD is not material wealth, but the empowering, covenant grace of God that makes a believer wholesome, fruitful and sustained in spirit, soul and body. It contrasts OLD TESTAMENT conditional blessing with NEW TESTAMENT covenant BLESSEDNESS by FAITH, and calls believers to pursue God’s BLESSEDNESS first, not just physical gains.

  • Material gains are the result of THE BLESSING, not THE BLESSING itself.
  1. OLD TESTAMENT vs NEW TESTAMENT BLESSING

  • NEW TESTAMENT: Based on FAITH in the REDEMPTION WORK OF GRACE in Christ Jesus — a done deed, for all eternity. 
  • It is BLESSEDNESS by God’s imputation of RIGHTEOUSNESS, not by man’s works — Ephesians 1:3; Galatians 3:13-14. 
  • You are already BLESSED with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places — Ephesians 1:3; 2 Peter 1:2-4
  1. HOW TO WALK IN THE BLESSING
  • It is made tangible today by FAITH — acting on THE WORD accordingly as you BELIEVE. 
  • Build your life on God’s given BLESSEDNESS, not on the pursuit of wealth.

  5. DECLARE: I am BLESSED with THE BLESSING OF GOD. It empowers me, sustains me, and makes me rich without sorrow in Christ Jesus’ name. Amen.

MORE THAN CONQUERORS

MORE THAN CONQUERORS: APPROPRIATE AND ENACT TO RECEIVE YOUR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN REDEMPTION! 

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth . . . 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to RECEIVE POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM, and STRENGHT, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING” Revelation 5:9-12. 

One gracious and graceful thing God DID FOR US in REDEMPTION by Christ Jesus was to ensure and authentic that we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION. Hence, Christ Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE GIFTS to us, as our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in HIM. 

And Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE to us these REDEMPTION rights and privileges to enable us stay afloat as MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION. 

There are Seven  (7) Spiritual blessings and Five (5) Ministerial gifts BLESSEDNESS, which are firstly in the heavenly places, and we are to appropriate and enact them on earth. Today, we can virtually see the five in manifestation and operation, but there’s a struggle of the seven, in the Believers day to day living. But Why? 

When you watch some ACTS and LISTEN to the use of the WORD in the cause of most PRAYERS, TEACHING and PREACHING, you wonder if indeed some people know what God has given them, which on their part would only require ACCEPTANCE with THANKSGIVING fora Life of Gratitude, to help one APPROPRIATE and ENACT it into REALITY effortlessly and without sweat. 

In life, when you are given something, say a gift, you receive it with acceptance and with thanksgiving. You don’t go about ASKING again and again for what’s already GIVEN to you. Unfortunately, that’s what most Believers do in PRAYERS, and go further, even in their FASTING galore to measure spirituality – instead of RECEIVING and GIVING THANKS to God the Father in the name of Jesus, they go about ASKING and ASKING and ASKING . . . Instead of them to see the need to maintain a heart of GRATITUDE as the main ATTITUDE, in which they will then enhance their ALTITUDE in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead in God’s BLESSEDNESS. 

Most times religious obligations, traditions, oblations and bye-laws dogmas have kept us in a particular routine with no substance that can do us any good in Christ. We FAST and PRAY for the same thing and stay in the same act and process just because it seems good religiously and to our sentiments and sensual feelings, even when it’s obvious, we are acting and praying AMISS and in ERRORS. That’s not the Gospel of God in our Redemption in Christ Jesus stead; and as such, we can’t APPROPRIATE and ENACT our rights and privileges WHOLLY and live MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION. 

Therefore, it’s your time to express with RECEIVING, and a life of GRATITUDE your rights and privileges in these seven (7) key REDEMPTION DONE DEED for us in Christ Jesus stead.

THESE ARE:

MORE THAN CONQUERORS: APPROPRIATE AND ENACT TO RECEIVE YOUR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN REDEMPTION!

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth . . . 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to RECEIVE POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM, and STRENGHT, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING” Revelation 5:9-12.
 
One gracious and graceful thing God DID FOR US in REDEMPTION by Christ Jesus was to ensure and authentic that we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; hence, Christ Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE GIFTS to us, as our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in HIM.
 
And Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE to us these REDEMPTION rights and privileges to enable us stay afloat as MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION.
 
There are Seven(7) Spiritual blessings and Five (5) Ministerial gifts BLESSEDNESS, which are firstly in the heavenly places, and we are to appropriate and enact them on earth. Today, we can virtually see the five in manifestation and operation, but there’s a struggle of the seven, in the Believers day to day living. But Why?
 
When you watch some ACTS and LISTEN to the use of WORD in the cause of most PRAYERS, TEACHING and PREACHING, you wonder if indeed some people knows that what God has given them, which on their part would only requires ACCEPTANCE with THANKSGIVING for THANKS-LIVING, to help one APPROPRIATE and ENACT it into REALITY effortless and without sweat.
 
In life, when you are given something, say a gift, you receive it with acceptance and with thanksgiving.
 
You don’t go about ASKING again and again for what’s already GIVEN to you. Unfortunately that’s what most Believers have made their acts in PRAYERS, and go further, even in their FASTING galore to measure spirituality – instead of RECEIVING and GIVING THANKS to God the Father in the name of Jesus, they go about ASKING and ASKING and ASKING . . . Instead of them to see the need to maintain a heart of GRATITUDE as the main ATTITUDE, in which they will then enhance their ALTITUDE in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead in God’s BLESSEDNESS.
 
Most times religious obligations, traditions, oblations and bye-laws dogmas has kept us in a particular routine with no substance that can do us any good in Christ. We FAST and PRAY for same thing and stay in same acts and process just because it seems good religiously and to our sentiments and sensual feelings, even when it’s obvious we are acting and praying AMISS and in ERRORS. That’s not the Gospel of God in our Redemption in Christ Jesus stead; and as such, we can’t APPROPRIATE and ENACT our rights and privileges WHOLLY and live MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION.
 
Therefore, it’s your time to express with RECEIVING, THANKSGIVING for THANKS-LIVING, your rights and privileges in these seven (7) key REDEMPTION DONE DEED for us in Christ Jesus stead. THESE ARE:
 
POWER (Authority) – In place of fear, oppression, intimidation etc (Luke 10:19; 2 Timothy 1:7 etc).

THE BLESSING OF GOD: It’s Not MATERIAL STUFF

By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSING OF GOD: It’s Not MATERIAL STUFF As – Car, Property, Money and More!

Having material gains as CAR, PROPERTY, MONEY and MORE may be results of God’s BLESSINGS but not THE BLESSING of God. The BLESSING of God is the ENABLING and ENDOWED grace bestowed upon the BELIEVERS’ in Christ, and it’s firstly SPIRITUAL before it takes a PHYSICAL hold effect as a result of its operations and manifestations. For there are lots of people that have obtained all these mentioned material stuff above through illicit, wicked, oppressive and devilish ways. Could that be God – NO. Hence there are not the BLESSING of God.

Also, to ‘Being Blessed of God’ simply Means – to being Empowered To: Succeed, Achieved, Become, Innovate, Create, Get and such likes. For it’s THE BLESSING of God that makes one enriched in the kingdom and thus sustains one enrichment; it’s not just about having  material acquisition as money, property, car and more as known that makes one rich. For money and other material gains has wings, it comes and goes but THE BLESSING OF GOD that enriches us, ABIDES forever. Meaning, you can go being empowered to succeed again and again no matter what levels of challenges are about you. (Genesis 26:1-5, 12-25).

So, if you must crave and pursue, crave and pursue for God’s blessing and build your life on God’s blessing which will eventually enrich you and not just a pursuits on wealth or material acquisitions.

** God’s blessings are wholesome, complete, fulfilling, peaceful, all embracing and not limited to just things physical only but the total being of man – spirit, soul and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23; Luke 2:52).

** God’s blessings empowers and creates enrichment and fulfilment (Deuteronomy 8:18).

** Know also that you are blessed of God already (Ephesians 1:3/2 Peter 1:2-4), and it can be made tangible by faith – acting on the Word accordingly.

Therefore, I say to you, live on God’s Blessedness and all other things will come together timely. I pray that the blessings of God be your vehicle of enrichment in Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.

“The BLESSING of the LORD MAKES a person RICH, He ADDS NO SORROW to it” (Proverbs 10:22).

“Will you set you eyes on that which is not? For RICHES certainly makes themselves WINGS; they fly away like an eagle towards heaven” (Proverbs 23:5).

“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee POWER (Enabling) to GET (Create, Innovate) wealth, that he may ESTABLISH his COVENANT which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18.
