Redeemed From The Claims Of The Enemy

SATURDAY 10^TH JANUARY 2026

 TOPIC: REDEEMED FROM THE CLAIMS OF THE ENEMY

SCRIPTURE:  Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ…

1Peter 1:18-19

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: We are God’s creature, and we are His purchased possession.

There is an interesting story about a fisher man who took his time to create a little boat. He was using the precious little boat with all pleasure and would anchor the boat on the seashore after use.

But then something unexpected happened: one day, a strong wind came, cut off the anchor, and the little boat got lost in the sea. Another fisherman saw the little boat somewhere, took it and sold it to someone else. Then a boat dealer bought it, displayed it in his shop for sale.

The owner of the little boat never gave up his quest to recover his once cherished possession. It wasn’t that he could not make another boat, but he had an emotional attachment to the little boat. Fortunately, he heard that a boat that looked like his was on display in a boat shop. When he got to the shop, he saw his little boat, recognized it, and told the boat seller that he was the owner of the boat, that the boat got lost. The man told him, “I’m sorry! I know it is possible that it is yours, but I bought the boat from someone. If you can pay me the money, you will have it back.” Obviously, there was nothing else he could do. He agreed with the boat seller not to sell it to any other person, that he was coming back to buy it.

The man had to go and labour until he was able to gather the money. Then he returned, bought the boat, carried the boat with so much excitement. He said to the boat, “Little boat! little boat! I now own you twice. First, I created you and now, I have bought you.” That’s right. That is the summary of our redemption.

Beloved, God is our owner twice. He created us in His Image, but we got hopelessly lost in sin, and in the things of this life. And He sent His Son Jesus to die for us. Thus, He bought us back to Himself (1Corinthians 6:20). So, we are God’s Creature, and we are also His purchased possession. He created us, then he redeemed us. So, the devil cannot claim you. The sacrifice of Christ on the Cross was God’s rescue operation from all claims of the enemy on man.

I declare that whatever is trying to lay claims over your life is destroyed in the Name of Jesus Christ! Every illegal transaction on your life is terminated by the speaking Blood of Jesus Christ, in Jesus’ Name! 

Remember this: We are God’s creature, and we are also His purchased possession.

ASSIGNMENT (S):

1. Violently reject any form of claim that the devil is trying to lay on your life.
2. Refuse to hearken to the dictates of the flesh; refuse to mingle with the children of the devil. 

PRAYER: Lord, thank you for the privilege of being called Your own. I am Yours forever. The devil cannot have me or what is mine, Lord in Jesus’ Name.
