Prosperity 03: What Jesus Brought To You

For this purpose was the Son of God made manifest, that He might destroy the works of the evil one. 1 John3:8

The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. [NIV Translation] 1 John 3:8 NIV

I have come that you might have a rich and satisfying life. John 10:10 NLT

Jesus came to the earth to reverse the Adamic curse on mankind; the root of which is sin and it’s power it exerts over us. The ultimate purpose is that God would dwell amongst His people in complete unity and freedom. Sin and it’s power over us is Jesus point of attack and victory.

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2Cor 5:21 HALLELUJAH!

He wasn’t made sickness and disease nor poverty nor spiritual death nor fear or any other terrible thing that afflicts humanity. He was made to be sin because sin is the root that brings forth all other evil on humanity. Rotten root brings rotten fruit! When Jesus put the the axe to the root of the tree and won the victory for us He understood that all the rotten fruit would naturally be anulled in our lives.

The power of sin broken off of our lives.. is the beginning and the end of true prosperity for the child of God.

Before the fall there was no sin, no fear, spiritual death, no lack, no poverty, no sickness and disease, no tears, no pain, no suffering. The moment humanity fell

through sin satan gained authority through sin over man and immediately we see sin’s effect: fear, jealousy, envy, strife, hatred, murder, breakdown of family, breakdown of marriage, hardship, suffering, confusion – and thats just in Genesis 3 and 4!

So Jesus becomes the second Adam and redeems mankind back to Himself. Some of our redemption is now while we live on the earth, some for when we get to Heaven, and some for when we are living in the new heaven on the new earth. Revelation 21:4 shows us this ultimate fulfilment of Jesus victory in our lives:

And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. Revelation 21:4

This does not mean that we do not appropriate all the promises He has for us right now! There’s nothing we can do about our state on the new earth but we can live in God’s best for us right here on earth right now. Jesus has made provision for prosperity for the whole man. The beloved apostle, John, prays the heart and will of God over us when he said, “Beloved, I pray above ALL THINGS, that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.” 3 John 2

The apostle Paul writes in Romans 6:14 about Jesus awesome victory over the power of sin and it’s effect in our lives when he states, “Sin SHALL BY NO MEANS have dominion over YOU!” There it is, right there! The power of sin broken off of our lives. This is the beginning and the end of true prosperity for the child of God.

Jesus brought salvation to man. The word for salvation is ‘soteria’ which is the noun of the root word for salvation called ‘sozo’. Sozo is an all encompassing word for salvation or being saved. Sozo means: to make whole, to preserve, to make safe, to rescue, deliver, to keep safe and sound, preserve from judgement, prosperity, deliverance. When salvation comes to your house it brings the prosperity of God into your life. In every area of your life. On every level of your life.

For a moment see Jesus victory won for you personally. See Him make His victory yours. He didn’t come to the earth, die on a cross and rise again for Himself. He paid a high price for YOU! Understand it. Receive it. Accept it. Possess it.
