You are redeemed

"Christ purchased our freedom [redeeming us] from the curse (doom) of the Law [and its condemnation] by [Himself] becoming a curse for us, for it is written [in the Scriptures], Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree (is crucified); (Gal.3.13 Amp.)

That a convict was hung on the cross beam now and again in Jesus' days was no news. A typical example would be the two thieves that were hung alongside when Jesus Christ was hung.

It, therefore, begs the question of why Jesus' death was of unique consequence. This is why:

Pontius Pilate, Governor and one who sat in judgement over the accusation brought against Christ Jesus found Him not guilty. In other words, he was free to go but yet was still hung.

"Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him." (John.19.4)

Secondly, Jesus declared that no man takes his life from him but that he lays it down of his own accord that he might take it up again.

"Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father." (John.10.17-18)

This was a declaration of a mission statement and it was executed on the cross when he laid down his life

Finally, 2 Corinthians:5:21 says that he became sin for us so that we may become the righteousness of God in Christ.

"For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." (2Cor.5.21)

This was how the mission statement above was fulfilled. This is the reason why you should be rest assured, knowing that you are redeemed. When Jesus hung on the cross its purpose was to redeem you. You are bought back to God. You now belong to God and nothing can pluck you out of His hands. Nothing whatsoever -not sin, not sickness not satan.

Good day,
And have a great day today,

What's in a name?

What's in a name?  "He named him Noah, saying, "This one will give us a break from the hard work of farming the ground that GOD cursed." (Gen.5.29)  Names have prophetic attributes in them. When a thing is named, the name defines what it does and what it cannot do. When a person is named, his future is foretold, especially when the persons parents are in tune with the agenda of God. But that person has to work to bring that prophecy to reality.  John the baptist was a case in point when the wrong name would have been given. If the parent had not listened and obeyed God's instruction but instead bow to family and societal pressure.  "And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." (Luke.1.60)  Another example is Benjamin, the second son from the loved-wife of Jacob. As the mother was dying from the pain of childbirth, he called the child Benoni but his father says not so, he shall be called Benjamin  "With her las

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem  "When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good--not only ours, but the whole world's". (1John.1.2 MSB) When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the sin passed through them to all men. And so the Bible recorded that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Rom.5.12)  But that was just the beginning of the story. Sin entered the world, and death came as a result of sin. It appears that mankind was doomed.  But Jesus came and served the punishment for sin and in so doing, He solved the sin problem for good. Now mankind has access once again to the Father. Now everything the Father has for us is at our disposal. Now we can reign by Jesus Christ and receive the abundance that God has for us.  "For if by one man's offence death reigned b

Who makes me who I am

An Isoko adage says, "the name you call yourself is what others will call you. Meeting students, I have had cause to ask them if that was the name their parents named them and they say no. My real name is...and then they tell me. But whatever they call themselves is what other students call them. You are who you say you are, but the truth is, you act the way you become because you think that's who you are. So if you called yourself a policeman when you are a soldier, you will act as a policeman. If you are an eagle but call yourself a chicken, then you will act like a chicken. If you call yourself a failure, that's what you begin to act as. Little wonder, Jabez changed his name in the place of prayer, he declared that he is blessed and God granted his prayers. (see 1Chro:4:9-10). The way you act is a deep-seated product of who you think you are and who you think you are is a product of who you call yourself. What do you call yourself? Who are you? "What
