John
10:9-11,
9 I am
the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and
out, and find pasture.
10 The
thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that

the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

MESSAGE
The death of
Jesus was for a purpose and that purpose is to ensure that you fulfil your
destiny. Jesus sacrificed Himself for your redemption. He took your place and
gave you His. It is upon this arrangement that you have access to all that He
provided. The death of Jesus was not in vain, it is a substitution for all your
human weaknesses and deficiencies. God is not only interested in making you
saved; He is interested in you having all that is available in the salvation
package. I decree that whatever will not make you enjoy the full benefits of
salvation shall be destroyed in Jesus’ name. Just for your sake, Jesus was born
into very poor circumstances, He lived a poor life and died in poverty; and all
these was that such things do not happen in your life. He voluntarily did all
that, so that you might be rich. The riches even cover your divine health; by
His stripes you are healed. I command every sickness and disease operating in
your body to be uprooted in Jesus’ name. His death is so that you might be rich
in deliverance. There are many people attending deliverance services but are
yet to be free. If you appropriate the death of Jesus into your situation, there
should be freedom for you. 18 August 2016 open heavens
“And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make
you free”
John 8:32
As believers
of the new covenant, you are to be rich in the love and favour of the Almighty
God. You are to be rich in the blessing and promises of the new covenant. You
are to be rich in your expectation of eternal life. When you give your life to
Jesus Christ, there is happiness in your life not only by the things you have
but by the experience you have in Him. The Lord Jesus becomes the shepherd of
your soul and He guarantees your protection so that you enjoy the riches of His
divine security. Nothing scares you any longer because He that now watches over
your soul does not sleep nor slumber. You become rich in abundance and the yoke
of poverty becomes destroyed. You will be practically guided on how to enjoy
the benefits of His riches through His goodness and mercy.
This is why
you must not allow the devil see your life as being vacant. The devil is out to
kill, to steal and to destroy but when you give Jesus a chance in your life,
you will experience a turnaround from poverty to wealth. The devil has nothing
good to offer you. In the end, his offers lead to destruction and disgrace, but
the riches of God are permanent. The Joy of God is real; the peace of God is
timeless. The abundance of God is not a function of economic indices. The
longevity of life has nothing to do with keeping to medical prescriptions. The
security of God has nothing to do with human elements. All these benefits are
part of the riches He gave to you on the cross of Calvary but they become
activated when you accept Him as your personal Lord and Saviour.
Key Point
If you don’t know your
rights, you cannot enjoy them.
