Welcome to the month of October. Over the past month you will have noticed how we are constantly talking about revelation and its importance to you as a believer. If you read your bible, you will realise that before God does anything significant He always reveals it to people first.
In line with revelation here are 5 that you need to fully be aware of in your life as a believer. When you grasp these you will find your walk with God more fulfilling and you will see victory in your life, so meditate on these 5 points and walk in their fullness afterwards.
1.
Revelation
of Salvation and Righteousness
We are a totally new species of beings
(II Cor 5:17)
*New creation means you are totally changed, you are not an
improved being but have become a being that did not exist before
We are able to approach him without fear or
sense of guilt (Heb 4:16)
When you receive Christ, the word says that you are now in
Christ and are therefore made righteous, not because of what you did but
because of who you are, this means that no matter how back slidden you may be
you can still come to God without guilt or shame for there is no condemnation
for you (Romans 8:1)
We are just as He is – we are worthy! (I John 3:2 &
4:17, John 1:12)
Christ has restored our relationship with God, so as far as
God is concerned, we look, think and act like Jesus.
2.
Revelation
of the Finished work of Calvary
It
is finished (John
19:30)
The
hold and control that the enemy had over man was broken
As a result of this we are no longer under the curse but
are able to walk in the blessing and all of its benefits (by his stripes we
were healed (Isaiah
53:4,5) He Himself became poor that we may become rich (II Corinthians 8:9))
3.
Revelation
of the Holy Spirit and His work in our lives
He
informs us things to come (John 16:13)
He replaces Jesus’ role here on earth and as such he is our
teacher, guide, our comforter..but most significantly He dwells within us (yes He is inside of you)
4.
Revelation
of your inheritance in the Lord (The Blessing)
All
that God has is mine (Ephesians 1:3)
As a son (John 1:12), I have access to everything that
belongs to my Father as it has already been given to me (Ephesians 1:3) (ie I have access to
divine healing when unwell, divine supply for all my needs etc)
5.
Revelation
of the Force of Faith!
Matthew 9:22 and 15:28, Mark 5:34 & 10:52, Luke 7:50 and
8:48
In these scriptures it is clearly highlighted how each of
the individuals’ faith gave them a reward of what they were looking for.
Look at what Jesus said to Simon in (Luke 22:31-32). That is the awesome
power of the faith that you as an individual has and each and every person must
grow their own faith (Romans 12:3 and Romans 10:17)
To fully access the promises of the blessing you will have
to be a person who understands the power of faith (Mark 11:23)
