The Emancipation of Us

Recently completed an amazing conference in Jesus House themed the Dynamics of Faith, well equipped with teachers rightfully disecting the WORD and bringing to life its reality in our today’s living. One of such teaching totally blew my husband and I away and gave us a whole new spectrum on what Jesus Christ really came to do. As i listened through the teaching, meditating on it all week long, my heart pondered asking why it took me this long to see and to understand Jesus’s mission on this earth. I mean, what was the significance of the Gethsemane episode?

Emancipation (act of setting free from a power or another) to me begins from the mind, fuelled by a deep understanding of the need to be free or set free. We have been set free a long time ago however lack of understanding robs us of  the longetivity of our freedom. You know, every single step Jesus took was a step ordered, purposed and of value in preparation for our emancipation? It’s a deep revelation of Jesus’s mission that can truly set our minds right where they truly belong.

One of the teachers at the conference asked us a thought provoking question, he said ” Do you believe Jesus has set you free, has won the enemy over all battles you can ever fight and declared you victorious? Do you believe that you are set free from diseases, illness, failure, curses“?, of course we all echoed a loud “YES“, and then he asked,” So if you believe, what are you carrying with you? Why are you still carrying failure, sickness, curses, diseases around with you? Why are you not living a victorious life if you truly believe what Jesus did?

I can assure you that for a long time, those questions plagued my mind. I read the book of Isaiah 53, meditating on what Jesus came to do.  I realise that our issue is lack of information and sound teachings on this subject. The teacher took time to teach us the origin, the cause, the solution and the reality of Jesus’s mission, it was an awesome revelation. Our God is a God of order, every step carefully planned, no missing links.

Emancipation of us is the freedom we have received when God became flesh in the person of Jesus Christ bore our sins (went through all kinds of reproach we go through today) so that he can die (like man), be buried, went into hell to fight for us, setting us completely free. That was a joker that the enemy didn’t see coming, the gates had to be lifted up so that the King of Glory can come in and free those the devil kept captive. Its an awesome revelation we need today so that we can put Jesus’s mission into perspective and get to grips with our freedom.
