Hello, let me use this opportunity to say Happy Easter Monday to all of my readers out there. My sincere prayers is that the Holy Spirit, the enforcer of the New Testament will open your eyes to see everything Jesus paid for and also bring you to the place where you can experience them in Jesus' name. In the last broadcast, I stopped at the fact that Jesus is both our Sin Offering and our Scapegoat. John the Baptist reechoed the same thing that has been said in Eternity past that He is the Lamb of God. Rev. 13:8, John 1:29. Jesus is our Sin Offering.
To the best of how much God has helped me, I have tried to teach sequentially but, between now and the time these broadcasts will end, I may not do that. I will just flow in whatever direction I am led to.
THE CROSS
You see you must understand that the Cross didn't complete the atonement. The type of the Cross in the Old Testament is called. THE BRAZEN ALTAR. Brass speaks of judgement. The animals to be used for sacrifice are slaughtered on the Brazen Altar. It is the altar of sacrifice. The blood of such animals are also collected there. But, atonements aren't completed here. The Priest will have to take this blood behind the veil and sprinkled it on the Mercy Seat. Have you read the book of Hebrews before? It's one of my favourite books. I think my most favourite book is Ephesians.
A QUICK GLANCE THROUGH HEBREWS
This book was written to believers that were on the verge of going back to Judaism. Judaism is a religion that completely influence and control your entire life. This Christians were facing enormous persecutions from the Judaizers and they wanted to return to Judaism. The writer of the book which I believe was Paul had to be inspired by the Holy Spirit to juxtapose everything Judaism believes in with Jesus. He proved beyond any shadow of doubt that Jesus is better. The book started by letting us see Jesus vs Prophets. Next Jesus vs. Angels because the revelations the prophets had came from the angels of God. Next Jesus vs. Moses. Then Jesus vs Aaron (the high Priest). Jesus' priesthood after the order of Melchizedek (a king priest) vs. Levetical Priesthood. Old Covenant vs. New Covenant.
The Cloud of Witnesses (Old Testament Hall of Fame). Jesus better than all of them. 13 chapters, very interesting and highly revelational. I have read it through many times. He made some conclusions that if after all these things, you decides to go back, then nothing else can save than to expect the judgement of God.
Back to the Main Road
The Cross doesn't not complete the atonement. Somebody had to take the blood of Jesus into the Holy of Holies in Heaven and sprinkle it 7 times on the Mercy Seat. Jesus is better than Aaron because
A. Jesus is both the SIN OFFERING and THE HIGH PRIEST.
B. Even if Aaron had the right kind of sacrifice, he still couldn't have made it to the Holy of Holies in Heaven. Why?
There was more than the force of gravity to deal with. The Second Heaven is the abode of Demonic forces. Isn't the Devil called the Prince of Darkness and Eph. 6 talks about spiritual wickedness in Heavenly places. When Jesus carried His own blood enroute to the Holiest of all, the demonic agents tried to stop him. The Bible tells us in Colossians 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
The Greek word for 'spoiled' means to put off from one's self, to throw away from one's self, to shake off and to yank something off you. This is what Jesus did. He threw off principalities from Himself. Have you got up in the morning and you feel things you shake off? Have you ever been in that position that some things has fastened themselves unto you? You need to learn how to shake off sicknesses, shake off discouragements, shake off suicide spirit, shake off evil thoughts. Shake them off and let the Devil take them back. Whao! I feel like preaching. I might as well have a little Church in here. Learn to shake off the works of the Devil. You can't medicate demons. Evil thoughts don't originate from your RECREATED HUMAN SPIRITS. Resist the Devil and he will flee-run as with terror. Hallelujah! Let me share with you about SOME SIGNIFICANT PLACES JESUS SHED HIS BLOOD
A. His Head.
This happened when the soldiers weaved a crown of thorns, pressed it on his head and wore a purple robe on him. The purple robe and the crown of thorns signify KINGSHIP. Mt. 27:27-31
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
In the garden of Eden, man lost THE KINGLY AUTHORITY OVER THIS PLANET TO THE DEVIL. That's God said to the spiritual serpent that the seed of the woman will crush his head and he (spiritual serpent) will bruise his heal. 'Crush your head' means he will take back the dominion you have stolen from man. This is the reason Jesus was crucified at GOLGOTHA- the place of skull to signify man's headship has been restored. May God gives you understanding! The blood Jesus shed on the head through the crown if thorns signify that the governing influence over this planet that Adam list has been restored to us. Hallelujah!
B. His face.
This happened at Gethsemane. Luke 22:44.The Bible says that as Jesus prayed, the sweat on His face was as the drop of blood. Can you imagine the intensive agony in the Spirit?
What is the significance of this?
One of the curses that came upon man was that man will begin to eat in the sweat of his face.
Gen. 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
This is where TOILING started. That somebody will work like an elephant and eat like an ant. This is the origin. The good news is the drop of blood from Jesus' face had been dealt with it. No longer should a believer in Christ toil again. It doesn't mean you won't labour. But, it means you will have something substantial to show for your labour. Hallelujah!
C. Hands.
This happened through the 6-8inches long nails driven through His hand. Whether it was the wrist or palm, I am less concerned. What I know is this, if you see the Risen Christ, check for that nail prints. If it is not there, I can bet it that is not Bros J. When He rose up, He showed the hole in His hands to the disciples. That holes no go komot forever limit for there now. Forever and and ever Na hin den go dey for hin hand.
The Significance
The curse of poverty in man's hand has been removed right now. That is why in Christ Jesus, our hands bare increase. It means our hands can be very productive and fruitful. The curse upon man's work has also been destroyed by the blood Jesus shed in His hands. It should never be said that a believed did a business and it folded up.
D. Leg.
This occurred when the nail was driven through His leg. His two legs were put one on top of the other while the nail was dashed through them. The hole is still there till tomorrow. The significance of this is that we can enjoy Divine direction right now. We can be led by the Spirit; led into triumphant victories. Our legs can take us to places in accordance with God's will. It also mean that our feet can possess territories for us right now-wheresoever the sole of your feet stepped on, I have given it to you become a present day reality. Lastly, our feet can enjoy SPEED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THE SHED BLOOD OF JESUS.
E. HIS BACK.
This happened through the scourging that He went through. The Bible says 39 stripes were laid on His back. Be it known unto you that stripes has metallic attachments to the threadlike leathers used to make them and they are always long so that they can coil around the person they are administered on and it can be forcefully removed thereby tearing some of the victim's flesh off. This was the case with Jesus. Isaiah 53:2 says he had no form or comeliness and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him
Isa 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
'Grief' in the above scripture means 'SICKNESSES AND DISEASES'. His stripes brought healing to us. He had carried away our pains(menstrual pains and the pain that comes from handling hot objects; ALL FORMS OF PAINS) and sorrows had been carried away. There is no sickness whether internal or external that the stripes of Jesus cannot heal right now. Mt. 8:17, 1 Pet. 2:24. Let me stop here for today and continue tomorrow.
