REDEEMED TO REIGN

“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot” 1 Peter 1:18-19.   

LIGHT FOR THE NOW: Your reign in life is determined by the knowledge of God you have.

            The Greek word for redeemed is “lytrosis”, which means to be ransomed, delivered or rescued and that is exactly what Jesus has done by giving His life. Freedom comes by sacrifice, which is what redemption has offered us. Redemption means to buy back, to atone for a crime that is not yours and to recover by payment. At the cross, Jesus fulfilled all this and more so you can walk in total victory. By redemption, all your rights and privileges were restored and everything you desire in life and destiny will come to manifestation as you walk in the knowledge of your redemption. The essence of Christianity is Christ in you; God’s ultimate purpose was to reproduce Himself in us and He has achieved this through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. God wants you to focus on His Word through knowledge and begin to see yourself the way God sees you.

Now that you have been redeemed, how do you reign? To reign means you know and you can exercise your rights as a regenerated Christian, it means you are now living with the consciousness of all that Christ has done for you; it also means you are ready to take your place in life and fulfill destiny. A Christian who reigns commands all that Jesus paid for. The manifestation of poverty, sickness, frustration, etc in your life is proof that you have not known your rights as a child of God. Stand up and declare your new identity, speak what you want into the atmosphere and believe you have received it. Remember, you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and you have been redeemed to reign in this life.

INSTRUCTION: Walk in the knowledge of your redemption.

PRAYER: Father, thank you for I have been redeemed to reign. Amen!        

QUOTE:A redeemed man is a victorious man.
