TOPIC: PROSPERITY IS A STAMP ON YOUR REDEMPTION
TEXT : Revelation 5:12
Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
Memory Verse : Hebrews 7:7
And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
FOCUS
Today, we are looking at prosperity as a seal on Redemption. The whole whole was groaning in pain and poverty, nobody knew how to end lack and want and Jesus the son of God volunteered. The Bible says; nobody was worthy enough to open the book nor the seal therein. Jesus volunteered to take away our shame, to take away our reproach, our poverty, to take away the limitations and limiting forces, to get to a point where we will serve God and serve Him acceptably with godly reverence.
Jesus took away the garment of shame and put on us the garment of prosperity, took away the garment of sin and put on us garment of salvation. That is why the Bible says; He has made us unto our kings and priests and we shall reign on the earth. It takes good prosperity, living in soundness of mind and body to reign on earth and God has sent his only begotten son to do that for us.
LESSON
2 Corinthians 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
What is the application of this scripture? He left his glory, left his throne became poor so that we can be rich. He decided to be born by a virgin Mary and came not because there was no hospital but he symbolise little begining, by been born in a manger. As if that was not enough, He lived a life of shame, going about his father’s business so that He can transfer the riches of the Gentiles to us and make us Co heirs to the kingdom.
These were the things Christ did for us and that is why we can’t stop appreciating Him for the great sacrifices He made on our behalf. Christ our redeemer stamped our salvation with His prosperity, became poor so that we can be rich, saw shame so that we can be honoured, He didn’t marry so people can get married without issues.
There are so many things God is doing in our days and the more He does them, the more He wants us to take note of His blessings all over us.
