COVENANT ACTS OF REDEMPTION<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong>A commemoration Month of celebrating our <\/span><\/span><\/em>REDEMPTION from sin<\/em>:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“Sickness, Poverty and Spiritual Death<\/strong>\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Rev. 5: 9 \u2013 12<\/span><\/strong> \u2018\u2019And 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<\/strong>. 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 honor, and glory, and blessing<\/strong>\u2019<\/em>\u2019.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

No matter our circumstances today, the fact and the truth remains that Jesus had paid for our SIN and liberated us from SIN and its Effect – Sickness, Poverty and Spiritual death<\/strong>. You can walk with your head up, for you are no longer a captive but a victor, not a failure but a success, not a loser but a winner, not a mistake of mistaken Identity or a coincidence but the fearfully, wonderfully custom design in the very image of your maker- The almighty God.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ephesians 1:3, 7<\/span><\/strong> \u2018\u2019Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ . . . In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace\u2019\u2019<\/em>.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ephesians 2:4-7<\/span><\/strong> \u2018\u2019But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by (grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In Revelation 5:9-11<\/strong>, we can conclude that Jesus did not only die for us but received on our behalf the seven (7) mentioned life issues indicated this book of Revelation. Also, God has given you Beauty for Ashes, Oil of joy for Mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness (Isaiah 61:3)<\/strong>. You are what you are because of what you believe of God and of yourself in Him and in all that Christ has done.<\/span><\/p>\n

I strongly challenge you today to set your belief in focus, for that will affect how you commemorate and celebrate your \u201cfaith\u201d in your Redemption in Christ as shown below:<\/span><\/p>\n
