Your Promised Land – REDEMPTION – Has Been PAID For

Achievers’ Daring Spirit To Possess What Belongs To Them

Deut 1:6-8 “The LORD our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.”

Matt 9:29 “Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.”

Gen 12:1-3 “Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will show thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed”.

Greetings

Hosanna! Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD, hosanna in the highest – Matt 21:9.Shalom! I bring you this month of April kingdom greetings in the redeeming name of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

I trust that through this Achievers’ FAITH Digest April 2009 edition you will lay hold of your rights and privileges in possessing your promised blessings in REDEMPTION. To this end you will bring all things under your feet and control in enjoying and becoming what you are born of God to be in Christ Jesus.

Psalms 111:9 “He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant forever: holy and reverend is his name. ”

Luke 1:68 “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for HE hath visited and redeemed his people,”

1Corinthians 1:30 “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and REDEMPTION:”

Galatians 3:13-14 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. ”

April 2009 Edition

I just can’t but lift up my hands for the graces made available for me to make this month AFD come your way again. Lots of battle in making an affirmation decision what the Holy Spirit would love us to have as a way to our achieving our goals and aspirations by the daily breath we receive from Him – Job 33:4; Job 32:8. In preparing for this edition my spirit perceived two forces to deal with.

Firstly it’s the beginning of a new financial year in the United Kingdom in April. Decisions made by the government will shape the economic and political structure and course of the country. Families, businesses and individual lives will be affected by these decisions.

Secondly the G20– assumed economically developed nations – are meeting in London this week to determine how to emancipate the world economy from the crunch and meltdown. The decisions that they come to in the communiqué, will do a lot to shape the entire world economy.

While I appreciate all these efforts being made by various governments and leaders of nations, the question that comes to mind is if the Christian believer knows full well and has been able to come to terms with the decision of God towards them, not only for these times in which we live but till eternity – Jeremiah 29:11 (amplified); 3 John 2; John 10:10.

The Good News – You’re Redeemed

Deut 1:6-8 “The LORD our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.”

Galatians 3:13-14 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. ”

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

The good news in spite of the decisions that the various governments and G20 nations will come to is that there is another decision from above. Your promised blessing in redemption has been paid for. You don’t need to merely rest your life on the G20 nations but arise in a daring spirit of faith to hold to great life and begin to possess your possessions in Christ. You are the decider of your own future and destiny in God today.

No matter how null and void your situation looks like today, know for sure that Christ has redeemed you from stagnation and set backs to blessings. Your redemption comes with a fully paid bill. Our God wants to see you become in life, possessing the land of promise He has given to us all as an inheritance – Eph. 1:3, 11, 14.

May you know that of all God’s creation, mankind is the only upright creation of God on two feet while others are on four. That is how vital you are in life – the daring ability to possess your promised land.

There is an Error – Under the Sun

Ecclesiastes 10:5-7 ‘’There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler: Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place. I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth ”

Rev 5:9-10 “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; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”

Rev 1:5-6 “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. ”

A man’s ignorance or foolishness is his own mountain. The wisdom of God – knowledge and understanding – to discern the differences in times and life is the principal tool to deliver, give freedom, set one at liberty to possess ones possessions in knowing that our promised land – Redemption – is paid for.

The book of Ecclesiastes 10:5-7 indicates that there is an evil and error under the sun. That those God has redeemed and promised blessings to be princes and princesses in Christ sits in the lowly place of life, walk barefooted in life as servants – takes in left over civil jobs in most cases – while supposed servants – unsaved, unchurched, unbelievers – the folly are set in great dignity -great jobs, life prospects – and riding on horses.

Have you ever wondered why unbelievers seem to make it in life while you with the biggest Bible on hand is yet to find the fullness of God’s promised blessings? Especially when you consider Rev 5:9-10; Rev 1:5-6; 1 Peter 2:9 and Romans 6:17 declaring that you are a kingdom of priests and that we ought to reign in life.

There is an error under the sun hence the Achievers’ FAITH Digest is bringing this edition to you peradventure you will allow God to make it right in the end in you and through you. Why is there an error under the sun? It is because believers have not been able to appropriate spiritual things into physical manifestation – Ephesians 1:3. We know the promises of God and yet still live in mediocrity.

That is why God compelled Moses to speak to the children of Israel in Deut 1:6 for their circumstances of being stagnant in their Christian walk which was against their promised title deed. We need to possess our promised land – redemption – because it has been fully paid for. This is the way out of the error under the sun for every of God’s children under the sun.

The Promised Land – Fully Paid For

Gen 12:1-5“Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will show thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.’’

Deut 1:5-8 “On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, The LORD our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them”.

Gal. 3:13-14 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”

We serve a God who does not promise that which He cannot deliver. He has planned your success and destiny. When the Lord appeared and spoke to Abraham – the father of our faith – and made him a promise in Gen 12:1-5, Gen 15:7-21 and Gen 17:9-14. God ensures that all things come to be as promised.

The promised blessings were:

• Promised Land – Canaan – (A land of milk and honey, peace and tranquillity).
• Descendants ( Posterity)
• Greatness (Dignity, favour and honour etc.)
• Blessedness (Favour, graciousness, health, silver and gold, etc.)
• Defence (from curses, abuse, enemy etc)

With nothing but a daring spirit of faith, Abraham and his family moved to possess all the promises of God to him.

In Gen 23:1-20, at the death of Sarah, Abraham purchased the Promised Land – Hebron of Canaan. He ensured that the land had title deeds (Certificate of Occupancy) for safety and security. The rights and privileges of possessions to the Promised Land that flows with milk and honey.

Owning land indicates possessions, stability, assurance, insurance, credibility, status, fulfilment, actualisation, being settled and destined to obtain. It’s for this reason that a lot of people aspire to own land in any place.

Now when God spoke to Moses to take his people to the Promised Land in the book of Exodus 430 years after Abraham had fully paid and obtained the rights of the title deeds, they did not know that the land had been fully paid for and that a daring spirit of faith was the only requirement. Due to unbelief, from the generation that left with Moses, only Joshua and Caleb were alive to witness God’s Promised Land. The ten spies perished with the rest of the generation that left Egypt for the Promised Land with Moses.

The death of Sarah brought about the purchase of the land of Canaan – the Promised Land. A place to actualise the purposes, promises and will of God for His people. A land that was not obtained by human war but made ready for all Israelites by one man’s act of obedience to the will and purposes of God. And In spite of their arrogance and disobedience, lack of faith in God, the land was always there waiting for them.

God has fully paid for our redemption through the death of Christ to ensure that we have access to our Promised Land – Redemption. The death of Jesus on the cross and the shedding of His blood paid for our title deed to our inheritance. The promises of God as in the Holy Writ have been certified, ensured, assured, insured and enacted by the blood of Jesus Christ for us. Hebrews 6:13 – 10:25

Psalm 111:9 “He has sent redemption to His people; He has commanded His covenant forever; Holy and awesome is His name”.

Luke 1:68 “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,”

Galatians 3:13-14 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”

Colossians 1:13-14 “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:”

1 Cor. 1:30 “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.”.

2Cor 5:21 “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. ”

The promises of God for your land today are that you’ve been redeemed from sin and its effect: Sickness, Poverty and Spiritual death. Praise God! Halleluiah!! Amen!!!

By Wisdom – Appropriate and Enact

Ecc 8:5 “Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart discerneth both time and judgment.”

Prov 13:15 “Good understanding giveth favor: but the way of transgressors is hard.”

Prov 21:16 “The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.”

Prov 24:5“A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.’’

Wisdom is the daring grace to discern time and make right judgements meaning the ability to discern differences in making life decisions on any issue that confronts us daily. When you consider their suffering due to their ignorance and in not trusting God we may want to blame the children of Israel for their ignorance in not being able to appropriate and enact the reality of their promised blessings. Remember God spoke to them through Moses to go and possess the Promised Land in order to actualise His plans and purposes for them in it.

In Genesis 15, God told Abraham that His people would only go through life phases for 400 years before they would come into their promised blessings. But Israel under Moses stayed an extra 30 years before they went into their promised blessings because they loved their lifestyle in Egypt more than their destined place of rest. They lacked the wisdom: that is they failed to discern time and to make good judgement.

Today Christ has paid for all our desired needs to make life meaningful. It is up to us to discern time and make judgement through knowledge and understanding of His will towards us, in actualising the reality of our fully paid blessings in Redemption.

We pay dearly when we wander away from wisdom – understanding of knowledge- that helps us to discern our Promised Land through good timing and making the right judgement to enact and appropriate them into our lives – Prov. 13:15; 21:16; 24:5.

Pursue The Will – Then Comes The Promised Blessing

Hebrew 10:35-36 “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. ”

Rev 5:9-12 “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; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 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.”

Heb 6:9-12 “But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have showed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises”

Gal 3:13-14 “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. ”

Why should you be stale in faith and in achieving the promised blessings when it is all paid for?The blood of Jesus in His death has no Adamic nature, knowing that His conception was from the work of the Holy Spirit as the Holy Writ says. His blood has such tremendous ability and grace to usher in the promises of God for us all.

The book of Hebrews 10:35-36 enjoins us to pursue the will of God primarily that we might receive or inherit the fullness of the promised blessings of God – Heb 6:9-12, Gal 3:13-14. The book of Hebrew assures us of the need for confidence in our faith, not giving up and being patient to inherit the promised blessings. The reason behind all this is that God does not want us to repeat the mistakes made by those before us – the mistakes of pursuing the promised blessings and not the promisor.

Knowing the will of God in our life is a tool to possessing – appropriating and enacting – our promised land of redemption: a place of actualising the fullness of God and His blessings in our life. The will of God should be our utmost priority to enhance the release of His promises to us.

Hebrews 10:36“. . . after you have DONE the WILL (lined up your life with His plans and purposes), you might RECEIVE the BLESSINGS (promises of God).’’

The promises of God are sure and true. The Holy writ of Rev 5:9-12 indicates in verse 12, seven promises of the REDEMPTIVE covenant. Blessings obtained and received by Christ on our behalf are covenanted to us in His Certificate of Occupancy as sealed in His blood. Hence you can occupy – do business – till He comes as challenged in the scripture – Luke 19:13

The Seven Redemptive Covenant Deeds Received On Our Behalf Are:

• Power (Authority) – In place of oppression, fear, intimidation etc

• Riches (wealth/Prosperity) – In place of poverty, hunger, thirst, lack etc.

• Wisdom (knowledge + understanding) – In place of ignorance, foolishness etc

• Strength (Physique) – In place of weakness, sickness, Disease etc.
• Honour (Dignity) – In place of dishonour, disdain etc.
• Glory (Fame) – In place of shame, reproach, etc.

• Blessings (Grace) – In place of curses, setbacks, stagnation etc.

When Jesus led captivity captive, He obtained our redemption – rights and privileges – in the will of God for us to enjoy as His blessings.

FINALLY – Possessing Your Promised Land

Psalm 111:9 “He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant forever: holy and reverend is his name. ”

Luke 1:68 “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,”

1 Corinthians 1:30 “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:”

Deut. 1:5-8 “On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, The LORD our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them”.

Deut. 2:24-25 “Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle. This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee. ”

God gives the Promised Land – REDEMPTION – but it’s the individual believer’s prerogative to possess the land as an Achiever. Psalm 111:9 indicates that God promised to send Redemption, while Luke 1:68 indicates that Redemption has visited and redeemed His people, and 1 Corinthians 1:30 enjoin that Jesus is made unto us – REDEMPTION. In other words, everything we need in the Promised Land is in Jesus Christ. It’s this possibility right that enables the woman called ‘Daughter of Abraham’ in Luke 13:10-17 to be set free from the infirmities that had made her bent over for 18yrs. Jesus has obtained the Land. Let’s arise with a daring spirit of faith to inherit our blessings.

Before possessing your promised land you must possess the enemy gates, dispossess your enemy, in that some promises may require a fight of faith – Matt. 16:18; Matt. 11:12; 1 Tim. 6:12; Gen. 22:17; Deut. 1:5-8; 2:24-25. Possessing is a matter of choice. The Promised Land is the promise of God. If you can possess the gate, you can possess your Promised Land and the gate is your soul the seat of your mind, will and emotions. If you can possess it and bring it under obedience to God’s will and purposes in your daily life, you can ensure your promised blessings will come – 1 Cor. 9:24-27.

Luke 21:19“Inyourpatiencepossessyeyoursouls.”

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. ”

If you can till your soul with God’s word on a daily basis, to believe the truth of God’s word and live speaking the word instead of focusing on the facts, I can assure you that you will have plenty of bread; than poverty, sickness, hunger etc will keep at arms length from you. You can only BECOME and ACHIEVE according to your FAITH.

Prov. 12:11“He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding. ”

Prov. 28:19“He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.”

Matt. 9:29 “Then touched he their eyes, saying,Accordingtoyourfaithbe ituntoyou.”

I therefore pray that God take you out of the natural into the supernatural realm. A consciousness of knowing that you are a divine project and God will not abandon you. And by the reason of God’s grace you will not be found with an ‘April fool’ mentality this month but ‘April Wise’ mentality. Have a blessed and fruitful month as we celebrate Christ Jesus – This EASTER knowing your Promised Land – REDEMPTION – is paid for. Amen

A Daring Spirit of Faith . . . In the will of God . . . Possessing your Promised Land . . . Enjoying Your Redemption

In His World For His Glory,
