I will extol You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up, and have not let my foes rejoice over me.

Psalm 30: 1

No child of God is to lower their head, to feel defeated or go on in life collecting failures. The redemption of Christ which we were blessed with – gives us the assurance of living a life with our head high up above all the evil operations of the enemy. Yet, our rights will only be acknowledged if we stand firm in faith and as we make decisions confidently. A Christian who won’t strive to make their prerogatives worth in The Lord will not be able to be delivered from the devil’s treachery.

The Word is quite clear as IT lets us know that, at the death of Jesus, God exalted us. The work of The Saviour on behalf of men was revealed to David, men who ended up being under Satan’s authority on account of Adam’s sin. David promptly prophesied that there would come a day on which he’d exalt The Most High because He had already exalted him. Today, you can glorify The Almighty because you were already exalted by Him.

David, the psalmist and the king of Israel, lived his days a thousand years before the work perpetrated in the Calvary. As he paid heed to the revelations to him by The Most High he grabbed them firmly. And the same must be done every time our Father shows us something considering that those revelations disregarded by us can do absolutely nothing on our behalf. The words given to us by The Lord have the necessary power in themselves to operate that which He speaks to us.

It’s important for us to take possession of those riches in our favour and begin praising God for His messages to us even though that plan might be for a near future or in the long run. Everything we need to live our lives with our head up is praising the fact of our becoming partakers of the vicarious work of Jesus without accepting any hints of the enemy in our life because we were exalted above all works from the darkness.

The work of redemption was already perpetrated. In the spiritual realm we don’t have to surrender to the devil. We’re more than conquerors in all things by The One who has loved us (Romans 8: 37). Our redemption is total. And that’s the reason why we don’t have to accept suffering in any area of our lives. So, stand firm! Consecrate your life to The Lord and be more than a conqueror!

Don’t give Satan any authority upon your life! He’s already deprived of his power and he cannot oppress you any longer. It’s our duty to preach such message to everybody for those who don’t know their rights in Christ to be delivered. The work of salvation delivered us from all the power of the devil.

All those who are redeemed by The Lord need to enjoy the freedom granted to all those who become His children. Whenever you’re tempted, whatever way, you must remember that your deliverance is absolutely factual and that’s why you mustn’t accept that your former lord, who is defeated now, to resume his oppression upon your life.

In Christ, with love,
