It Is Finished : By Emmanuel Quayson



John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

Jesus Christ the son of the living God was sent to the earth for a purpose which purpose was to die to save you and I from our sins. The ministry of Jesus only took 3 years but the impact can be felt today in the Christiandom. It is not how long you have served God but the impact you have made in his kingdom that is what matters.

The reason for Jesus coming to this earth is to die so you might have life and have it more abundantly. This is why death is not your portion now as a child of God. God didn't also bring you here to come and die that is why he sent his son to come and do that on your behalf. Therefore every death situation you find yourself in today, I command you to come back to life in Jesus name.

John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.

Jesus was the final sacrifice that God gave to end all the sacrifices by the children of Israel of the sheep, goats, bullocks, doves etc which were offered yearly for the remission of sins according the Mosaic law. But it was not possible that the blood of sheeps and goats should give salvation that is why God had to send his own son in sinful flesh to come and die to save us from our sins.

When Jesus died on the cross he said it was finished. It was finished for what? When Jesus said it was finished it means you did not have to find your own ways and means to get to heaven and that he has come as the way, the truth and the life to lead us all to heaven. 

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

When Jesus said it was finished, he means, it is finished for all the evil and sin in your life that in time past had dominion over you. 

When Jesus said it is finished it means that he has taken the keys to the kingdom of God and handed it over to believers that whatever we bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever we loose here will be loosed in heaven. 

Mathew 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

As a Christian you must understand that kingdom keys are available to you to possess if you will allow yourself for God to work through you. Jesus has already defeated Satan and took the keys to God's kingdom which Adam gave to the devil in the garden of Eden and handed it over back to us believers so the devil and the world have no power of us.

It is finished because as a Christian you have conquered the world and all that is in it. God has given you power over the world.

1John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Areas in our lives that Jesus has won victory for us on the cross : 

It is finished for sicknesses and diseases

It is finished for shame and disgrace

It is finished for begging and borrowing

It is finished for sorrows and regrets

It is finished with pain and bitterness

It is finished for poverty and lack

It is finished for principalities, powers, rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places.

It is finished for disappointment and pain

It is finished for rejection and undermining

It is finished for confusion and lack of focus

It is finished for death and spiritual imprisonment

It is finished for envy and jealousy

It is finished for enemity and hatred

It is finished for barrenness and unfruitfulness

It is finished for debts and setback

It is finished for retrogression and failure

It is finished for delay and denial

It is finished for loneliness

It is finished for ignorance

Everything negative that you can think about, Jesus is telling you that it is finished for that thing and now the gates of heaven has been opened for all and that receiving him will guarantee a place for you in heaven.

If Jesus has resurrected and seated at the right hand side of God today then you are also elevated and promoted with him today and all things will begin to work in your favour. Jesus came to restore your list hope and faith and to give you a promise of everlasting life. 

Ephesians 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

When Jesus says it is finished on the cross, he also means that now he has led captivity captive on the cross so you don't have to be in captivity anymore. Any captivity situation in your life, I command those chains to break off you right now in Jesus name.

Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

It is finished also means that now he has freely given gifts to believers, those who will pray and earnestly seek for the gift of God will now receive it whole heatedly.

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

What you need to do right now to benefit from the death and ressurrection of Jesus Christ is for you to be born again and accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal saviour and turn from your evil ways to accept him and you will be saved to his kingdom and you will have place for your souls on the judgement day.

John 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

By this scripture, Jesus was referring to the temple of his body. Jesus before his death told the disciples that he will be delivered to sinners who will kill him but on the third day he will resurrect which he did with many people bearing witness of him which has been recorded in the Bible for us all to read. If you must be physically present to believe all that you read in the Bible then don't believe anything in the world because you cannot be everywhere when all things are happening that is why there were witnesses and more so we have been promised of the holy spirit that will also come and bear witness of Christ.

It is true also that Jesus resurrected and when he did the Bible says he was seen of his disciples for which they bear witness if him. The first person to see Jesus was Mary Magdalene at the tomb. She was the one that seven demons came out from. It doesn't matter your previous state, God loves you and if you repent, he will reveal himself to you in so many unimaginable ways. A woman who had the history of demon possession was the first person that ever had the privilege of seeing Jesus when he resurrected. He was also seen of the Apostles later when they were gathered in the room when Thomas was absent and later showed himself to them when Thomas was present.

To be continued....

Veep : Demons And Principalities In Public Sector

Image
I think Ghanaians now have the economic answers that they are looking for from the Vice President of Ghana, Dr. Mahmoud Bawumia as to why the economy is in a very bad state at the moment. The astute politician has attributed his failure to manage the economy properly to demons and principalities in the country.  To him, it is only when you get to the public service that you will realise that you are not only dealing with flesh and blood but against demons and principalities as stated by Apostle Paul in Ephesians 6:12. He is however hopeful and positive that he is going to conquer these demons and principalities to put the economy back on track. Some of us are wondering why it has taken him too long to come to this realisation when we have so many pastors in the country who fight against demons and principalities? If anything at all Bishop Obinim, Reverend Obofuor or NPP's own Owusu Bempah could be giving anointing oil to anoint the whole of Ghana in 30 days. He said this in one of ...

KENNEDY AGYAPONG CAN BEAT MAHAMA HANDS DOWN

Image
The late Christian Atsu was asked which defender made his balling days terrible? He said Harrison Afful. The guy is not really much recognized and spoken much of but he can trouble strikers. He is very hard to dribble and he disorganises game plans of opponents. You see, many have not paid attention to him but technical coaches know his worth.  This is exactly what Kennedy Agyapong will do to Mahama if he is given the nod. He will really disorganize the game plan of NDC and dilute all their messages with water. This is what NPP needs if they want to retain power not that we want them in power though. They have messed up enough. I am just making my objective submissions regardless of politics.  Dr. Bawumia is very intelligent but he should still be a vice president under Kennedy Agyapong if they really want to trouble NDC. The only NPP man that can match Mahama boot for boot is Kennedy Agyapong. Akufo-Addo won not because he was tough, Ghanaians were just fed up with the "corru...
