POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSIONS IN CHRIST JESUS: IT’S YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS & PRIVILEGES IN ZION – THE CHURCH!
“But upon MOUNT ZION shall be DELIVERANCE, and there shall be HOLINESS; and the house of Jacob shall POSSESS THEIR POSSESSIONS” Obadiah 1:17 (Emphasis Mine).
The CHURCH, the City of God, the Embassy, the Mount Zion, is your major life wire to POSSESS, and in POSSESSING your POSSESSIONS in the kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus. There’s an INHERITANCE for ALL in the kingdom as we soar and thrive in grace as Christ has made us BECOME in REDEMPTION. However, know full well that you ARE the CHURCH that God is BUILDING by His WORD in the power of the Holy Spirit, in Christ Jesus stead. And, you have to INTENTIONALLY belong also, to the gathering of the Churches of God, of which you are a member in particular, in the place called THERE, wherein there’s a GATHERING in the name of the Father God, in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit. Amen. There you can SERVE God in Christ Jesus ACCEPTABLY and WORSHIP Him accordingly WORTHILY in spirit and truth, as written:
“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP him must WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:23-24.
“Not forsaking the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as the MANNER [HABIT, BEHAVIOUR] of some is; but EXHORTING one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25.
“The GRACE of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the LOVE of God, and the COMMUNION of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” 2 Corinthians 13:14.
In possessing your Kingdom rights and privileges possession in Christ Jesus, your best place to start is THE CHURCH – the ASSEMBLY – the gathering, of God’s precious and redeemed people.

YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN CHRIST JESUS: THE CHURCH IS GOD’S PHYSICAL ENABLING TO YOU IN – ‘POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSION’ – IN CHRIST JESUS!
“But upon MOUNT ZION (THE CHURCH) shall be DELIVERANCE, and there shall be HOLINESS; and the house of Jacob shall POSSESS THEIR POSSESSIONS” Obadiah 1:17 [Hebrews 12:22-24]/Emphasis Mine.
The CHURCH which is the CITY of God, the EMBASSY, the AMBASSADOR of Christ and the MOUNT ZION – is your major LIFE WIRE to POSSESS God’s BLESSEDNESS and in POSSESSING your POSSESSIONS in the kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus stead. There’s an INHERITANCE for ALL in the kingdom as we soar and thrive in grace as Christ has made us BECOME in REDEMPTION.
In Possessing your Kingdom privilege rights possession in Christ Jesus, your best place to start is THE CHURCH – the ASSEMBLY gathering of God’s precious and redeemed people. For as goes THE CHURCH, so goes YOU and THE NATION, otherwise it’s catastrophic when this order is overlooked and misappropriated for any selfish and disgruntled reasons.
For the above PRINCIPLE and UNDERSTANDING to ENSURE God’s BLESSEDNESS, you must as a matter of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY, endeavour to BELIEVE, BELONG in the Church of Christ Jesus in order to BECOME a part. The reason been, the Church which is you and the Churches of Christ, which is the mount Zion of God, are assured of three things when this order of grace is followed accordingly. The principle order of grace enables one to access and receive these but not limited:
* DELIVERANCE from all sorts (you name it).
* HOLINESS – God’s nature, accessible to all in order to obtain God’s grace and blessings.
* POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSIONS – all that Christ had obtained for you in REDEMPTION made Possible with the ease of His grace.
In life and grace, people prosper and attained to the BLESSEDNESS of greatness, honour, noble and such like by either or all of these:
** By INHERITANCE in birth
** By CONFERMENT (ENDOWMENT/BESTOWMENT) in work
** By ACHIEVEMENT in personal endeavours
In all these three aspects to greatness mentioned above, our Lord and Saviour, Christ Jesus, obtained, attained and received all on our behalf in God, to ENSURE and ASSURE that our redemption in Him is without prejudice and perfect – whole, complete, total, full and blessed. That’s why you’re possessing your possession it’s a certainty and we can ENACT and AUTHENTICATE them to reality and tangibility. [Ephesians 1:15-23; Ephesians 3:14-21; John 17:1-9; Philippians 3:20-21; Psalms 68:18; Ephesians 4:8-11; Revelation 5:9-12; etc]. And as He is, so are we in this world to access fully our possession in His purpose for us. [Romans 5:1-2; 1 John 4:17-18; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:3-12].
“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 hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the promise of the Spirit through faith” Galatians 3:13-14.
Your POSSIBILITIES can start now. However, envision youself with a great start to possess your possessions in Christ Jesus by being in HIS CHURCH not as an OBSERVER – that is – but as one that has intentionally BELIEVE, BELONG to BECOME as in God’s REDEMPTION plan, purpose and pursuit as it’s written in the scriptures.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham . . . 13 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 hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the promise of the Spirit through faith . . .26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER bond nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female: for ye ARE all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye BE Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and HEIRS according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9,13-14, 26-29.

POSSESSING YOUR REDEMPTION POSSESSION IN CHRIST JESUS: THE “DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES” MADE POSSIBLE BY YOUR FAITH COMMUNICATION!
“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented, effective) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6 (Emphasis mine).
Beloved in Christ, enough of complain-hallelujah lifestyle in your – day in and day out, much more over these years in circle and circus; it’s your time in Christ Jesus to ENACT, ENSURE and ACTUALISE the essence of being born of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
There’s the DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN REDEMPTION with your name ENGRAVED in it by the virtue of being born of God in Christ Jesus; but it’s your prerogative to ASK, SEEK and KNOCK after it in order to make it a reality for you. You ask, seek and knock to obtain because you’ve ACKNOWLEDGED this good deed of God in Christ Jesus stead concerning you:
“ASK, and it shall be given you; SEEK, and ye shall find; KNOCK, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 for every one that ASKETH receiveth; and he that SEEKETH findeth; and to him that KNOCKETH it shall be opened” Matthew 7:7-8
You need to know also that your REDEMPTION reality can only be made possible by these but not limited:
** FIRSTLY through the ACKNOWLEDGING of your DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN THE KINGDOM as a result of our Christ Jesus – His DONE DID DEED – for you and all in Him.
“. . . the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.
** And SECONDLY by your UNDERSTANDING of the KNOW-HOW of COMMUNICATING your KNOWN FAITH in Christ Jesus to matters of LIFE and GODLINESS in ALL about living life even as it’s written:
“That the COMMUNICATION OF YOUR FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented, effective) . . .” Philemon 1:6.
And until you can ENSURE, ENACT and ACTUALISE the essence of REDEMPTION of Christ in you and for you, the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH in Christ to life matters will always be a struggle, strange, tasking and a burdensome in many ways which is contrary to God’s gracious WORD in 1 John 5:3. It’s for these limitations that there are many unfortunately ‘AMEN’, ‘HALLELUIA’ ‘I RECEIVE’ and ‘BLESS ME’ Christians around, despite their long standing efforts in the Churches of Christ, unending fasting and prayers and various set traditional dogmas, creeds, religious steps they might have taken to make the essence of REDEMPTION in EVERY AREAS of doing life. Beloved in Christ Jesus, these OUGHT not to be so in Christ Jesus, knowing and understanding the all that Christ Jesus is BECOME to us in Him by REDEMPTION.
You can only APPROPRIATE and ENACT through a PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of your REDEMPTION in Christ of all that God has DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU and is DOING THROUGH YOU by His WORD through the promised given HOLY SPIRIT, supposedly.
Here are few REASONS to seek for KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of all that God DONE DID DEED for you in Christ Jesus, in order to APPROPRIATE your REDEMPTION into reality as a POSSESSION:
** That a man’s ignorance is His own mountain, but the knowledge of the truth gives freedom and dominion – John 8:32.

** That your dominion in life is a product of your knowledge – Daniel 11:32.
** That a man’s value for knowledge determines his ultimate worth – Isaiah 33:6.

** That those who seek to know men, don’t know God; when you seek to know God, people will seek to know you – Jeremiah 17:5-8; Matthew 6:24.
** That your knowledge of Jesus makes you absolutely sure of tomorrow – John 17:3; Isaiah 33:6.
** And you can’t POSSESS a lasting POSSESSION with unsecured knowledge – Proverbs 25:2; Job 23:12; Matthew 22:29.

REV. CHUKIE MORSI
THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING The ESSENCE!
Am yet to found one Believer in Christ who does not want to actualise and see that everything about their Faith in Christ Jesus, is TANGIBLE, REACHABLE and LIVEABLE. Unfortunately not all are experiencing the FULLNESS of Christ Jesus stead in their day to day living, as expected IN THE GRACE wherein we STAND as in the Holy Writ.
“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and REJOICE IN HOPE of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.
In ESSENCE, actualising our REDEMPTION REALITY in Christ Jesus, can only be made possible through firstly – KNOWLEDGE – that is, by the ACKNOWLEDGING; and secondly it’s with the UNDERSTANDING of one’s FAITH in Christ Jesus – being COMMUNICATED to matters of Life and Godly Living as it’s written in the Holy Writ:
“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6 (Emphasis mine).
And until you can ACTUALISE the ESSENCE of REDEMPTION of Christ Jesus in and for you, the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH in Christ Jesus will always be a – struggle, strange, burdensome, irksome and taskmaster like. It’s for this lack of the knowledge and understanding of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY that there are many MERE – ‘AMEN’, HALLELUJAH’ ‘I RECEIVE’ and ‘BLESS ME’ – Christians around despite their long-standing efforts in the Churches of Christ. This OUGHT not to be so in Christ Jesus and for all that Christ Jesus is to us in God.
I am emboldened to say that you can APPROPRIATE and ENACT through a personal knowledge and understanding, of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY in your redemption in Christ Jesus, of all that God has – DONE IN you, DONE FOR you, DONE WITH you and He’s DOING THROUGH you, supposedly and indeed.
Here are few ESSENCE to enable you see a gracious reasons to earnestly crave and seek for THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY through ACKNOWLEDGING and UNDERSTANDING of all that God deed for you in Christ Jesus; this is to help you APPROPRIATE and ENACT with ease your REDEMPTION into reality and as a POSSESSION. It is the KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING:
** That a man’s ignorance is His own mountain, but the knowledge of the truth gives freedom and dominion – John 8:32.
** That knowledge will deliver from life and scriptural errors, and helps one engage with God’s power to save, deliver and restore – Matthew 22:29
** That your dominion in life is a product of your knowledge – Daniel 11:32.
** That a man’s value for knowledge determines his ultimate worth – Isaiah 33:6.
** That knowledge is power, freedom and dominion, while religion is imprisonment and bondage – Luke 11:52.
** That the grace that determines our status is a function of knowledge – 2 Peter 1:2.
** That when you run after knowledge, goodness and mercy runs after you – Proverbs 1:22, 29-33.
** That People who hate knowledge can’t secure heaven’s favour – Proverbs 13:15; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15.
** That age is not equal to knowledge, and should not be taken for knowledge – Job. 32:7-9.
** That if your thoughts are not updated, your life will be outdated – Proverbs 24:5.
** That when you add a little MORE knowledge to your life daily, you live a little better – Proverbs 4:18.
** That whatever you have no value for you have no access to – Mark. 6:5-6.
** That studying for knowledge is not a transferable responsibility – 2 Timothy 2:15.
** That the only authentic proof of knowledge is freedom and liberty – John 8:32.
** That when you don’t grow in the spirit of knowledge, you end up groaning in life – 2 Peter 3:18.
** That those who seek to know men, don’t know God; when you seek to know God, people will seek to know you – Jeremiah 17:5-8; Matthew 6:24.
** That your knowledge of Jesus makes you absolutely sure of tomorrow – John 17:3; Isaiah 33:6.
** And you can’t POSSESS a lasting POSSESSION with unsecured knowledge – Proverbs 25:2; Job 23:12; Matthew 22:29.
These writ above though not limited, indicates the essence of KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the Holy in order to access the FULNESS of Him. Hence I say, Don’t SETTLE and BECOME a believer in Christ Jesus, who is envelope just with – ‘BLESS ME’, ‘HALLELUJAH’, ‘I RECEIVE’, ‘AMEN’ and such like – seek after knowing and understanding the Holy one for your ESSENCE and FULNESS.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall POSSESS THEIR POSSESSIONS” Obadiah 1:17.
“The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: 7 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. 8 Behold, I have set the land before you: GO in and POSSESS the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them” Deuteronomy 1:6-8.
“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In Thee Shall All Nations Be Blessed. 9 So then THEY WHICH BE OF FAITH ARE BLESSED WITH FAITHFUL ABRAHAM . . . 13 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 hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye are all the children of God by FAITH in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither JEW NOR GREEK, there is neither BOND NOR FREE, there is neither MALE NOR FEMALE: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.
“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 shew thee: 2 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: 3 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” Genesis 12:1-3.

ENSURING AN ENDURING POSSESSIONS IN REDEMPTION: THE NEEDFUL ACTS TO MAINTAIN AND SUSTAIN THE BLESSEDNESS!
“And WINE that maketh GLAD the heart of man, and OIL to make his face to SHINE, and BREAD which STRENGTHENETH man’s heart” Psalms 104:15.
“The BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKETH RICH, and he ADDETH NO SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.
In REDEMPTION, we are BLESSED of God in Christ Jesus. The essence of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus is to ensure that in our assured redemption, that we can be able to: live a meaningful, purposeful and Fulfilling life and more; and to also live WITHOUT Sorrow, Regret and Mishaps.
And it’s one thing to be BLESSED of God in Christ Jesus, it’s another thing to KNOW that you’ve been BLESSED in order to enact and authenticate it into a daily reality in life and godliness in Christ Jesus; and it’s another thing also to know the how to MAINTAIN and SUSTAIN the BLESSEDNESS of being BLESSED in REDEMPTION without sorrow and regrets and such like accordingly.
“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.
“The BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKETH RICH, and he ADDETH NO SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.
And, to be BLESSED, means to be EMPOWERED with the ENABLING of God’s good and goodness, graciousness and gracefulness in order to – SUCCEED, EXCEL, ACHIEVE, BECOME, CREATE, INITIATE , EXPLORE and INNOVATES, in Christ Jesus stead. It thus means that the BLESSING of God in ESSENCE – is not PHYSICAL in terms of – [Car, property, Finance and such like; but it’s SPIRITUAL] – but it’s the endowed enabling of God received in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus – and that’s what helps one in grace to acquire or bring into reality and tangibility, the physical things we do need to enhance life in grace, such as – Car, Property, Finance and such like.
The knowing of the above difference in terms of what the blessing of God is and it’s not, helps to ensure and assured on how the BLESSEDNESS of redemption become real and tangible, and can makes our perspective and perception in prayers more connected to the HOW things of God do works for us from the SPIRITUAL to the PHYSICAL in MANIFESTATIONS and TANGIBILITY, and how we can unreservedly and uncompromisingly do LIFE and GODLINESS with God in Christ Jesus. Amen.
And to ensure an assured know-how, maintenance and sustenance of the BLESSEDNESS, one need to possess, meaning not to lack any of the three ingredients that ensures the acts of doing LIFE and living GODLY; these acts in essence helps to make all things in grace to come into fruition – reality and tangibility – as in the Holy writs:
“And WINE that maketh GLAD the heart of man, and OIL to make his face to SHINE, and BREAD which STRENGTHENETH man’s heart” Psalms 104:15.
“Yea, the Lord will ANSWER and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you CORN, and WINE, and OIL, and ye shall be SATISFIED therewith: and I will no more make you a REPROACH among the heathen” Joel 2:19.
The three INGREDIENTS from the Holy writs to help ensure the assured durability through knowing to maintaining and sustaining the blessedness of God in the grace are:
* The WINE – Speaks of The HOLY SPIRIT: The WINE will gladden one’s hearts – the human spirit being
* The OIL – Speaks of The ANOINTING: The OIL will cause one’s face to shine and radiate the glorious mess of God’s ENDOWMENT and ENDUEMENT in one’s being.
* The BREAD – Speaks of The WORD: The BREAD will STRENGTHENS one’s hearts – the human spirit being, to meet the demands of doing life and living godly of God in Christ Jesus.
And when the above mentioned three endowments and enduement abide and abound in our day to day living, then doing LIFE and GODLINESS are done [enacted and authenticated] in grace with ease and in leisure, satisfaction, purpose, which will results the meaningful fulfilment we do much desired – way over, above and beyond the limiting elements of – stress, depression, pain , hurt, pressure, fear, complex and such like that hunts us.
IT’S TIME TO ENSURE YOUR ASSURED REDEMPTION DEED IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD BY THE THREE NEEDFULS AS MENTIONED
Know today that it’s one thing to be BLESSED – and it’s another thing to KNOW you’ve been BLESSED – and it’s another thing to MAINTAIN and SUSTAIN being BLESSED in REDEMPTION by God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
I pray you make time today and even now, to crave for these enabling to be a part of your day to day living in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Be BLESSED!

IN YOUR REDEMPTION DEED OF RIGHTS: ENSURE YOU POSSESS YOUR POSSESSION IN CHRIST JESUS!
Beloved of God, it’s imperative, that in your in your redemption deed of rights, that you ensure you possess your possession as you do life and live in godliness in Christ Jesus stead. And this is made possible by your faith communication to matters of life – earthly or heavenly – in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION (COMMUNICATION) of our FAITH without WAVERING; for He is FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23 Emphasis Mine.
Beloved in Christ, enough of complain-hallelujah life style over these years, it’s your time in Christ Jesus to enact, ensure and actualise the essence of being born of God.
There’s a DEED OF RIGHTS IN REDEMPTION with your name ENGRAVED in it by the virtue of being born of God in Christ Jesus, but it’s your prerogative to ask, seek and knock after it, to make it a reality for you.
You need to know also that your REDEMPTION reality can only be made possible:
** FIRSTLY, through the ACKNOWLEDGING of your BILL OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN THE KINGDOM as a result of our Christ Jesus – DONE DEED – for you and all in Him;
** And SECONDLY by your UNDERSTANDING of the KNOW-HOW of COMMUNICATING your KNOWN FAITH in Christ Jesus to matters of LIFE and GODLINESS in ALL about living life even as it’s written:
“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented, effective) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6 (Emphasis mine).
And until you can ENSURE, ENACT and ACTUALISE the essence of REDEMPTION of Christ in and for you, the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH in Christ to life matters will always be a struggle, strange, tasking and a burdensome in many ways which is contrary to 1 John 5:3. It’s for these limitations that there are many ‘AMEN’, ‘HALLELUJAH’ and ‘BLESS ME’ Christians around despite their long standing efforts in the Churches of Christ, unending fasting and prayers and various traditional dogmas, creeds, religious steps they might have taken to make the essence of REDEMPTION in EVERY AREAS of doing life. And this OUGHT not to be so in Christ and for all Christ is to us in Him by REDEMPTION.
You can only APPROPRIATE and ENACT through a PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of your REDEMPTION in Christ of all that God has DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU and is DOING THROUGH YOU by His WORD through the promised given HOLY SPIRIT, supposedly.
Here are few REASONS to seek for KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of all that God DONE DEED for you in Christ Jesus, in order to APPROPRIATE your REDEMPTION into reality as a POSSESSION:
** That a man’s ignorance is His own mountain, but the knowledge of the truth gives freedom and dominion – John 8:32.
** That knowledge will deliver from life and scriptural errors, and helps one engage with God’s power to save, deliver and restore – Matthew 22:29.
** That your dominion in life is a product of your knowledge – Daniel 11:32.
** That a man’s value for knowledge determines his ultimate worth – Isaiah 33:6.
** That knowledge is power, freedom and dominion, while religion is imprisonment and bondage – Luke 11:52.
** That the grace that determines our status is a function of knowledge – 2 Peter 1:2.
** That when you run after knowledge, goodness and mercy runs after you – Proverbs 1:22, 29-33.
** That People who hate knowledge can’t secure heaven’s Favour – Proverbs 13:15; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15.
** That age is not equal to knowledge, and should not be taken for knowledge – Job. 32:7-9.
** That if your thoughts are not updated, your life will be outdated – Proverbs 24:5.
** That when you add a little MORE knowledge to your life daily, you live a little better – Proverbs 4:18.
** That whatever you have no value for you have no access to – Mark. 6:5-6.
** That studying for knowledge is not a transferable responsibility – 2 Timothy 2:15.
** That the only authentic proof of knowledge is freedom and liberty – John 8:32.
** That when you don’t grow in the spirit of knowledge, you end up groaning in life – 2 Peter 3:18.
** That those who seek to know men, don’t know God; when you seek to know God, people will seek to know you – Jeremiah 17:5-8; Matthew 6:24.
** That your knowledge of Jesus makes you absolutely sure of tomorrow – John 17:3; Isaiah 33:6.
** And you can’t POSSESS a lasting POSSESSION with unsecured knowledge – Proverbs 25:2; Job 23:12; Matthew 22:29.

YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS & PRIVILEGES IN CHRIST JESUS: THE CHURCH IS GOD’S PHYSICAL ENABLING TO YOU IN – ‘POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSION’ – IN CHRIST JESUS!

In life and grace, people prosper and attained to the BLESSEDNESS of greatness, honour, noble and such like by either or all of these:
** By INHERITANCE in birth
** By CONFERMENT (ENDOWMENT/BESTOWMENT) in work
** By ACHIEVEMENT in personal endeavours
In all these three aspects to greatness mentioned above, our Lord and Saviour, Christ Jesus, obtained, attained and received all on our behalf in God, to ENSURE and ASSURE that our redemption in Him is without prejudice and perfect – whole, complete, total, full and blessed. That’s why your possessing your possession it’s a certainty and we can ENACT and AUTHENTICATE them to reality and tangibility. [Ephesians 1:15-23; Ephesians 3:14-21; John 17:1-9; Philippians 3:20-21; Psalms 68:18; Ephesians 4:8-11; Revelation 5:9-12; etc]. And as He is, so are we in this world to access fully our possession in His purpose for us. [Romans 5:1-2; 1 John 4:17-18; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:3-12].
“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 hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the promise of the Spirit through faith” Galatians 3:13-14.

POSSESSING YOUR REDEMPTION POSSESSION IN CHRIST JESUS: THE “DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES” MADE POSSIBLE BY YOUR FAITH COMMUNICATION!
“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented, effective) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6 (Emphasis mine).
Beloved in Christ, enough of complain-hallelujah life style in your – day in and day out, much more over these years in circle and circus; it’s your time in Christ Jesus to ENACT, ENSURE and ACTUALISE the essence of being born of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
There’s the DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN REDEMPTION with your name ENGRAVED in it by the virtue of being born of God in Christ Jesus; but it’s your prerogative to ASK, SEEK and KNOCK after it in order to make it a reality for you. You ask, seek and knock to obtain because you’ve ACKNOWLEDGED this good deed of God in Christ Jesus stead concerning you:
“ASK, and it shall be given you; SEEK, and ye shall find; KNOCK, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 for every one that ASKETH receiveth; and he that SEEKETH findeth; and to him that KNOCKETH it shall be opened” Matthew 7:7-8
You need to know also that your REDEMPTION reality can only be made possible by these but not limited:
** FIRSTLY through the ACKNOWLEDGING of your DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN THE KINGDOM as a result of our Christ Jesus – His DONE DID DEED – for you and all in Him.
