King Jesus, because you went on the Cross, I am free. Thank you.
Happy Good Friday beloved

« And when you were baptized, it was the same as being buried with Christ. Then you were raised to life because you had faith in the power of God, who raised Christ from death »
28 After this Jesus, realizing that by this time everything was completed, said (in order to fulfill the scripture),“I am thirsty!”
29 A jar full of sour wine was there, so they put a sponge soaked in sour wine on a branch of hyssop and lifted it to His mouth.
30 When He had received the sour wine, Jesus said, “It is completed!” Then He bowed his head and gave up His spirit.
“It is finished” was the very last statement that Jesus Christ uttered on the cross at Calvary, just before He died.
There was a buildup of events, both physically and spiritually, which culminated in the solemn moment that produced that statement.
It started in the Garden of Eden when God created human beings in His own image as His personal object of love, and began to have a most intimate fellowship with them.
Satan then played a trick on humanity by tempting them to sin against God, thereby severing the beautiful relationship between God and man.
Thereafter, God warned that the battle was far from being over. Genesis 3:15 GNT says
« I will make you and the woman hate each other; her offspring and yours will always be enemies. Her offspring will crush your head, and you will bite her offspring’s heel. »
God put hostility between the seed of the woman and that of the devil. Without any doubt,
Jesus Christ is the seed of the woman.
He was the only human being ever to be born into this world without the input of a man as it was the Holy Spirit that brought about His conception.
Theologically speaking, it is believed that God in His infinite wisdom carefully coded the plans of redemption into Genesis 3:15.
This code remained hidden to the devil until the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Jesus was however, fully aware of this divine plan to save mankind; thus, in John 19:30, He triumphantly cried with a loud voice “It is finished!” as a declaration of victory over the devil and his agents.
Anyone who wishes to be part of that victory must accept Jesus as his/her personal Lord and Savior.
This acceptance must however not be in verbal confessions only but in all our actions as well.
I pray that the devils reign of terror over your life and family will come to an end today, in the mighty name of Jesus.
Jesus already won the battle and indeed, it is finished!
Prayer focus – Father, thank you for the salvation of my soul through which you have given me victory ahead of my battles.
