Title: Your freedom, dominion and salvation was purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ.
“Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.”
I Peter 1:18-19 NKJV.
The word redeem implies regaining, reclaiming, retrieving, getting back possession in exchange of payment. In Adam the whole human race was sold to the enemy Satan, to a life without God, a life of living for ourselves, centered on self but manipulated by Satan. We were dead in sin, without Christ and without hope. The word of God then tells us in Ephesians 2:4-6: "But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,”
Point of reflection: When you were sold under sin (sin is giving your back to God and living for yourself, living without God being at the centre of all that you do, being directly or indirectly under the agenda of the enemy Satan, being manipulated by Satan and living in rebellion to God). Jesus Christ then paid for your reclamation by His own blood when He suffered and died on the cross. Glory be to God. He bought back your dominion over Satan and his demons, dominion over disease and sickness, dominion over poverty and lack, dominion over emotional dissatisfaction and purposelessness, dominion over every negative outcome you can think of. He bought back your right to peace, victory and success (emotional and physical), your right to be given guidance and direction by God in the affairs of your life, your right to hear from God, your right to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, your right to live in the presence of God, your right to manifest the God-kind, your right to sonship and more. In short Jesus Christ bought back your right to blessing. (see Galatians 3:13-14). Glory to God. (see planetministries.org.uk/message/needs/understandingredemption. He bought back the legal right that Satan had over your life so that you can now exercise the authority of Jesus Christ over every situation you face. Glory be to God. When you are ready- Prayer for commitment: Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you that I was bought back from bondage of the enemy by the blood of Jesus Christ. I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and that he died and rose again for my justification. I acknowledge you as Lord of my life Lord from today I will live for you. Thank you for my redemption. In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
