ENSURING OUR DOMINION IN REDEMPTION: WE ARE REDEEMED TO REIGN ON THE EARTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS!
And 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; 10 and hast made us unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall REIGN ON THE EARTH” Revelation 5:9-10.
We are REDEEMED of God in Christ Jesus stead to REIGN on the earth. And to REIGN is to exercise and ensure the spirit of DOMINON with the REDEMPTION DEED of rights and privileges in Christ Jesus – over the ENEMY and COHORTS elements of this world that have held and had us in bondage in diverse ways respectively. For He has saved us and washed us with His blood from our sin and made us to reign and rule in life and to become His own in life and grace.
“And from Jesus Christ, who is the FAITHFUL witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us, and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be GLORY and DOMINION for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6.
And to REIGN in our REDEMPTION is to REIGN in grace, in righteousness and in life within God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Thereby, giving thanks with a heartfelt attitude of gratefulness and thankfulness in gratitude to what God by Christ Jesus have DONE IN US, He’s DOING FOR US and DOING THROUGH US by His WORD and the Holy Spirit in HIS LOVE.
“GIVING THANKS to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED US from the POWER of darkness and CONVEYED (TRANSLATED) US into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14 NKJV (Emphasis Mine).
What is BLESSEDNESS? The state (realm, sphere, position) of being BLESSED – with divine favour; A state of divine happiness that’s indescribable and unimaginable and incomprehensible in Christ Jesus. Romans 4:5-10 *(vs 6, 9); 2 Corinthians 5:19 (17-21); Ephesians 1:3-4, 20; Ephesians 2:6-8.
What is ‘The BLESSING of God’? The BLESSEDNESS of God – is about living within the PURPOSE and POWER of God in REDEMPTION. It’s not about car, money, gold, precious stones, property, qualification, status and such like. ‘The Blessing of God’ is that God’s enabling endowments that cause the desired need of life as – car, money, gold, precious stones, property, qualification, status and such like – to materializes in essence to be tangible, reachable, loveable and acceptable. Proverbs 10:25; Ephesians 1:3; Matthew 6:19-21.
Note these two parts difference between the New Creation BLESSEDNESS and the Old Creation BLESSEDNESS:
- We are UNCONDITIONALLY BLESSED and POSITIONED in God’s BLESSEDNESS in the New Covenant in the New Creation in Christ Jesus – Ephesians 1:3-4, 20; Ephesians 2:6-8; Galatians 3:13-14, 6-9, 26-29; Genesis 12:1-3; Genesis 1:26-28.
- We are CONDITIONALLY BLESSED in God’s BLESSEDNESS in the Old Covenant. And this is not applicable for the new creation in Christ Jesus. For you can’t put a new wine in a old wineskin bottle. (Deuteronomy 28:1-14 (Note the “if” of vs 1-2, 9, 13).
The Praying wisdom in BLESSEDNESS – is by Praying SCRIPTURALLY – which is within the concept of our REDEMPTION (And not on Religion or Religious setting or DENOMINATIONAL creed and dogmas that avails nothing but confusion and bondages). Few examples of the New Creation Dominon praying is in making a prayer declaration in this wise:
- Luke 4:22 (Gracious Words)
- Revelation 5:9-10 (New Sung – no more unbelieving and sorrowful and defeated song)
- 2 Corinthians 2:14 – Thankful Prayers
- 1 Corinthians 15:57 – Thankful Prayer
- Colossians 1:12 – Giving THANKS to God
- Philippians 4:4-7 – Giving THANKS to God
- Hebrews 13:15 – Giving Thanks
*[What you’ve been blessed with requires acceptance and thanks – unlike religious prayers based on sentiments and feelings and noise making with unscriptural basis].
The GOSPEL Message: Acts 20:20-21 *(1 Corinthians 10:32; 1 :18-24; Galatians 3 :6-9, 13-14, 26-29). Revelation 19:10 *(1 Corinthians 14 :3).
- Romans 1:16-17
- Romans 10:4, 8-13
- Luke 4:16-18
- Matthew 28 :18-20 (Mark 16:15-20)

[When we begin to mirror ourselves the way God sees us in His eyes by the BLESSEDNESS of our REDEMPTION, our line of PRAYERS should change; otherwise, we will be praying unscriptural, thereby exacerbating strength unnecessarily in ignorance, stupidity and foolishness, which God abhors].
It’s my earnest PRAYERS that you take your place in God in Christ Jesus to reign in DOMINION as the REDEEMED of God to reign in life.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“And 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; 10 and hast made us unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall REIGN ON THE EARTH” Revelation 5:9-10.
“And from Jesus Christ, who is the FAITHFUL WITNESS, and the FIRST BEGOTTEN of the dead, and the PRINCE of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED US, and WASHED US from our sins in his own BLOOD, 6 and hath MADE US kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be GLORY and DOMINION for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6.
“For SIN shall not have DOMINION over you: for ye ARE not under the law, but under grace” Romans 6:14.
“For if by one man’s offence death REIGNED by one; much more they which RECEIVE ABUNDANCE of grace and of the GIFT of righteousness shall REIGN IN LIFE by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto JUSTIFICATION of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were MADE sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be MADE righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. BUT WHERE SIN ABOUNDED, GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND: 21 that as SIN hath REIGNED unto death, even so might GRACE REIGN through RIGHTEOUSNESS unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21.
“But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath CALLED you out of darkness into his MARVELLOUS light: 10 which in time past were NOT A PEOPLE, but are now THE PEOPLE of God: which had NOT OBTAINED mercy, but now HAVE OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:9-10.
“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of faith, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which be of faith are BLESSED with faithful Abraham . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being MADE a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . .26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither JEW nor GREEK, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye ARE all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.
