THE PRESENTATION FOR 1ST MON OF AUGUST

REDEFINING POLITICS: In the context of the Redemption Work

Politics is the practice of protecting and preserving the prophecy and program of God from the profane.

It is the practice, profession and preoccupation of principal people who possess the prophecy they are privileged to partner with God to make prevalent for the preservation of a heritage. The preservation of God’s heritage for Abraham and his lineage would not have been possible without Politics.

It is undermining the usual to usher in the ultimate Will of God.

It is overruling the opposition to operate as ordained by God Almighty to orchestrate order on earth.

Politics is the partnership of persons privy to a program or prophecy to produce the potency/ power that can propel the prophecy/ program into a possession. It makes prophecy to become a possession.

Politics is the program of God drawn to cause His plans and purpose for man to prevail.

It is also the activities of allies (brethren) aimed at achieving an agenda against the adversary

THE POLITICAL WILL OF GOD (Cont’D)

By God’s infallible counsel, Isaac was the right heir of Pa Abraham and not Ishmael notwithstanding who was born first. God had made a promise to Abraham that the son that Sarah shall born shall be Abraham’s heir (Gen 17:21) and that was it.

In the case of Esau and Jacob, the twins were of covenant parents (Isaac and Rebecca) yet the biological first born could not be heir. Right from when they were in their mother’s womb, God’s choice of the heir was settled. The opinion of Pa Isaac notwithstanding, Jacob got to become firstborn, got his father’s blessing and the heirship.

Jacob’s supernatural manoeuvre though the transformation process is evident of God’s infallible political Will that was fashioned to protect God’s heritage, the covenant and the posterity of Abraham who He chose and decked with blessing beyond the comprehension of those outside the covenant.

By God’s unchallengeable Political Will fashioned to preserve the heritage of Abraham, Joseph was labeled a product and delivered in Egypt where he was to take charge as a Prime Minister in order to see to the wellbeing of Israel in the season of famine. None of the step step-siblings of Joseph (sons of Jacob/ Israel) was deemed by God to merit the choice to be head among the twelve sons of Israel. God being a covenant-keeper respected the covenant that Jacob had with Rachael – for which he refused to renege but committed himself to stress and stretch to meet the demand of having her as his wife. By his relentless effort at meeting the requirement for validating his marital covenant with Rachel, God made it clear that the requirement for fulfilling a covenant can be chucking and necessitation supernatural strength (grace) for accomplishment. Hence, as Jacob could successfully marry his wife, God chose the first fruit of that covenant relationship (Joseph) to make head and he was not ignorant of his uniqueness by his dreams from childhood (Gen 37:5 – 13).

God manifested His eternal post as Almighty in His Salvation program for man. He remains the Creator of Heaven and earth and God Eternal and did not find any mankind suitable for paying the sacred price of sacrificing a son/seed for man’s redemption. He could not allow Abraham to kill his only begotten Son (of Covenant) for any reason. God had to send his only begotten Son to be born of a virgin in a covenant / marital relationship to run and fulfill the mission of man’s Salvation. No man had to pay such heavy price with his biological son. God took it upon himself to meet the demand of redeeming man from the cure so that He would have them to Himself - to be subject to only His authority (not of Satan anymore).

 By the Sovereign Will of God, Jesus came to the earth to shed His sinless blood to save mankind from his sin and sentence of death. God allocated Him the assignment of saving mankind  - to return man to his Creator and make him an embodiment of authority to keep Satan in the inconsequential mode that became his eternal lot. At the accomplishment of man’s Salvation, Jesus became the heir of God (the first born among the brethren - Rom 8:29) and has His seat eternally at the right hand of God in Heaven where His co-heirs are seated with Him far above principalities and powers (Eph 1:21): the entities that raged against the good plan and purpose of God for man earlier. By the infallible Political Will of the father, the only begotten Son became the heir of God with magnanimity for the man that acknowledges God’s sacrifice of His only begotten Son (Jesus) and accepts Jesus as his Savior to enjoy equal estate and equipment (heritage) with Him as co-heirs (Rom 10:9-10).

 To the heir of God (Jesus) and His co-heirs (the man whose sins are forgiven), God has bestowed in heavy heritage – Power, Riches, Wisdom, Strength, Honor, Glory, Blessing (Rev 5:12) and satan (the adversary) had lost the freed man (heir of God) permanently. Primary in his redemption package is POWER that made him to rise into the realm of an authority as the ‘image and likeness of God’ and earth -  to rule over every creature of God: the birds in the air, the fish in the sea, every living thing that moved upon the earth (Gen.1: 28).

By the blessing that God ordained for man in the beginning, man was destined to be ‘fruitful’ and multiply and replenish the earth, and subdue it and have dominion…..(Gen1:28). By the old Covenant that destined the bond between God and Abraham and his seeds, the blessing that man lost for rebellion was restored to a single man (Abraham - the friend of God) whose seeds  became as innumerable as the stars of the sky and sand on the seashore (Gen 26:4, Gen 15:5, Gen 22 :17)  - a reflection of Gen 1: 28 which could not defined everyman anymore.

The Covenant of God with Abram (exalted father) turned him into Abraham - the father of many nations (Gen 17:5) who as Israel for his posterity even other nations that Jesus (the lion of Judah) redeems with His priceless blood to make more nation for  Abraham and more heirs for God.

N/B: It takes heirs to make nations. Jacob made 12 nations and Jesus blesses all the nations of the earth (not withstanding who made them) and God minded His covenant with Abraham by giving birth to heirs (through Redemption) to give birth to nations to validate Abraham’s ordained status as ‘the father of nations’ – a people that fulfill destiny only by the Blessing that Jesus is to those who comply with Rom 10:9-10 to receive the Holy spirit (another helper) He asks God to send (John 14:16).

By the New Covenant, every nations of the earth that the seed of Abraham and the heir of God (Jesus) came to bless deserves the Holy Spirit if they accept the Redemption to become an epitome of the authority that is peculiar to heirs (not of any mean person but of God Almighty). The Holy Spirit (Another Helper) who abides in the heir permanently gives him the heritage that God wills to his heirs (Rom 5:12).

By the immutable Will of God as the ultimate authority, the blessing of Old Covenant made Abraham - the friend of God and his seeds distinguished but Redemption has made seeds of Abraham (even Jesus) to metamorphose into heirs of God to have an inheritance that is too heavy to be compared with the Blessings of Abraham and his seeds. That stands eternally and nothing   can change it.

The heir of God has the heritage that reflects the Almightiness of God and satan whose head had been buried in perpetual shame cannot stand him any longer.

By God’s Political will, Abraham and his seeds has their realm on earth whereas the heir of God has his realm in Heaven where he is seated with Jesus on the right hand of God to discharge authority on earth as a diplomat.

The earth and the fullness therefore; the world, and they that dwell therein belong to the Lord (Psalm 24:1). There is no one on earth that can lay claim to anything he did not create - which God created and whatever is God’s creation is for the benefit of His heirs who are in authority on earth to declare the blessings of God on those so that they do not malfunction or be influenced by the adversary.

The blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of Salvation is for a specific people – he that hath clean hands, and a pure heart, who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor swear deceitfully (Psalm 24:4-5).

Jesus is Lord and satan is a loser eternally.
