Good morning Champion.
You are Blessed so Begin to Act Like It!
Galatians 3: 13 – 14 (NIV)
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
Good news Champ, if you have placed your faith in Jesus as Lord and Saviour you are not cursed but blessed today! This verse tells us plainly that Jesus redeemed us; “purchased us out of” the curse and has lead us into an inheritance of blessing. His purpose in positioning Himself on the tree and settling the curse for us was to position us so that blessing and goodness could be our daily experience.
He became (past tense) the curse so that we should not have to be cursed (present tense).He that knew no sin and was above any reproach that could attract a curse positioned Himself where we stood in life. He took every curse upon Himself and settled it once and for all. Every curse was settled by His loving substitution. So if He took it all and we connect to His perfect completed work by faith, what is left for us? The blessings of God, because they are ours today in Christ!
Two things to remember:
1. Every curse was paid for by His sacrificial act of love. No curse has authority over you when your life is positioned in Him. He paid the bill completely. No curse is greater than His finished work. Curses no longer have a landing pad on your life, Champ!
Proverbs 26:2 (NKJV)
Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, So a curse without cause shall not alight (land).
2. As with everything in God our connection to participate in this great daily reality is simply faith. Believe the truth, confess the truth ,and see the fruit of truth manifest in your life. Why not start to speak the truth again over your life today? Go on, Champion, speak out these powerful words “ I am blessed in him, no curse can come upon me, today I expect again the manifestation of blessing in and through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen”
Bless you
Andy
