PURCHASE OF REDEMPTION John 16:25-33
Devotional:- “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." (V. 33)
Jesus came to the world to activate our victory in God. We are creature destined for dominion (Genesis 1:26-28). In other words, the purpose of our creature is to dominate the earth and all that is in it. It means we are delegated to represent God in taking charge of the world.
It was the strategy of the devil to trick man out of his authority by luring him into sin (Genesis 3:1-7). Since the time of the fall of Adam, satan has become the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4). This is the reason why Jesus came to set us free from his bondage (Luke 4:18). This is the reason why Jesus went to the cross to destroy all the works of the devil (1 John 3:8).
That is why you have to wake up to the truth that Jesus has overcome the world for you. He said we will have tribulations in this world because the devil wants to deceive us to think he is still in charge (1 Peter 5:8). But he has lost his rulership over the world. He can only rule in the life of those who are ignorance (Hosea 4:6). Jesus said “I have overcome him” so, braze up. Take your place in authority by faith (Luke 10:19). You need the mentality of this truth. Resist him by faith and he will flee from you (1 Peter 5:9). Peace.
PRAYER: Lord, the tenure of the devil is over in my life in Jesus name.
