God's Property

(Ephesians 4:30 KJV) And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption


The Holy Spirit has marked and branded you as God's property. He is committed to you forever. The Bible tells us that He will never leave or forsake you. He has been given to you to help you in enforcing the fullness of your redemption. Without Him your redemption will never be real.

Until you realize the role of the Holy Spirit in your redemption, your walk with God will not be a good experience. The Holy Spirit teaches you the reality of your redemption. He reveals every detail of it to you through the Word. He also instructs you on how to enforce your redemptive rights. In fact, the Holy Spirit is everything where your redemption is concerned.

The Holy Spirit is grieved when you do not give Him the opportunity to do what He is called to do in your life. You have a responsibility to supply the right atmosphere for Him to work in your life. Make the Word available for Him and be willing to follow His leading for your life. Co-operate with Him so that He can do what God has assigned Him to do in your life.

MY DAILY CONFESSION

Jesus has paid the price for my total freedom in life. I have been bought with a price. Therefore, I glorify God in my body and spirit, which are God's. For sin, I have received righteousness. For sickness, I have health. And for poverty, I have abundance.

Jesus knew no sin but He became sin that I might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Jesus Himself bore my griefs, sicknesses, weaknesses and distress, and carried my sorrows and pains; He was wounded for my transgressions, bruised for my iniquities, the chastening for my peace and well-being fell upon Him and with His stripes I am healed.

I know the grace of my Lord Jesus Christ. Though He was very rich, yet, He became very poor in order that I can be made rich through His poverty. I shall not frustrate the grace of God because I am walking in the fullness of my redemptive rights.

I stand fast in the liberty I have received as a child of God. I will not be entangled any longer in the yoke of slavery. I am totally free from every oppression of the evil one.

I boldly declare according to Galatians 3:13 that Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law. I am completely free from the curse of sin, sickness and poverty.
