In the first part of this series, we established that the term deliverance seats on four standpoints, which are; 1. Salvation [rescue]. 2. Redemption [to buy back]. 3. Preservation [to protect]. 4. Restoration [to make whole]. The identification of these pillars would enable us to unravel the answer to the pertinent question as the header suggest. In this second part of the series, we would be talking about redemption and how it applies to the term deliverance. Redemption is so important that without it there can be no salvation, neither can there be preservation or restoration. It is the legal framework that guarantees freedom in the life of a believer in Christ. Titus 2:14 [AMP]: who [willingly] gave Himself [to be crucified] on our behalf to redeem us and purchase our freedom from all wickedness, and to purify for Himself a chosen and very special people to be His own possession, who are enthusiastic for doing what is good. The freedom a believer in Christ enjoys did not come withou...

In our modern day reality, when the word "deliverance" is mentioned, the average believer captures the imagination of what is called a "deliverance service" in some churches, hence they downplay its importance and overall implication on the life of every believer, by giving it a misconstrued meaning. In the study of the subject of deliverance, there are two schools of thought; 1.

Salvation [to rescue]. 2. Redemption [to buy back]. 3. Preservation [ to protect]. 4. Restoration [ to make whole]. These four key words aforementioned, gives a balance...

On the 1st of October, 2025, I received three (3) ministrations at around 9:30 pm to 9:35 pm, while I was stepping out of the house, and I had to do a voice recording on it, so I don't forget. While I considered the ministrations to be personal, one of it deals with the issue of mantles.  The key points from that ministration highlights three realities; 1. The subject of mantles is being abused in our generation. 2. Everything a believer needs, have been provided. 3. The problem with many believers today is with the "KNOWING", not because what should be known is absent, hence what is not known cannot be applied. ✍️ Mantles are real, but the first and the greatest mantle of any believer is the knowledge of his or her authority in Jesus Christ. This is the foundation for every believer in Christ, and the greatest challenge for many believers. It is becoming easier to believe a man of God for mantles, than believe Jesus Christ who is the custodian of our authority in God. Th...
