Colossians 2:14 ‘Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.’

DAILY READING – 2 Corinthians 10; 2 Kings 23:36-24:20; Habakkuk 1

Crucifixion was intended to be a gruesome spectacle: the most painful and humiliating death imaginable. It was used to punish slaves, pirates, and enemies of the state.
It was a method of capital punishment in which the victim was tied or nailed to a large wooden beam and left to hang perhaps for several days, until eventual death from exhaustion and asphyxiation.
Crucifixion has been used in parts of the world as recently as the twentieth century.
Alexander the Great is reputed to have crucified 2,000 survivors from his siege of the Phoenician city of Tyre.
Crucifixion was also used as a punishment by the Romans. It was most often performed to dissuade its witnesses from perpetrating similar crimes.
Victims were sometimes left on display after death as a warning to any other potential criminals.
According to the Roman custom, if a man was being crucified, they would put on that cross whatever that individual had done.
At the time of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion the Romans nailed to the cross an inscription that He was ” king of the Jews” —it was the false charge of treason against Rome for which He was executed.

But the scriptures tell us that something else was nailed to the cross. ” The handwriting of ordinances that was against us.” This ‘handwriting of ordinances’ means in legal matters a record of indebtedness or the record of charges which stood against us. These charges were against us for disobeying God’s law. But when Jesus paid the price, God canceled the note of indebtedness by taking it and fixing it to the cross.

And so when Jesus said ‘It is finished!’ It means the debt has been paid in full. We have been set free from every indebtedness. God has forgiven us the debt we owed. The curse that was upon man for disobeying God’s law has now been taken out of the way and nailed to the cross.
It therefore means that every sickness, poverty, and everything else contrary to our destiny were nailed to the cross, indicating an end to them. And as affliction cannot arise a second time such things can never rise again to torment you, as long as you abide in Christ!
Through His death, Jesus blotted out all that has been written against you medically in hospitals. He also blotted out all the writings of soothsayers and occultic forces. He has blotted out all the handwriting against your marital destiny, against your finances, and against your family. Whatever has been against your general wellbeing, has been nailed to the cross.

If Jesus hung on the tree for you, no sickness, poverty or misfortune can hang on you anymore. The devil cannot hold you captive any longer. You’re free indeed! As long as you serve the Lord you are entitled to liberty. Freedom from oppression is your heritage in God and your birthright in Christ.

Our transformed lives are the proof that Jesus rose again. Wherever we go, there should be a ceaseless song of victory in our mouth, because Christ has set us free.

Jesus has delivered us from every yoke of bondage. Every negative speaking against our destiny has been silenced by the speakings of His Blood. Every tongue that shall arise against us in judgment has been condemned by His Blood.

Therefore anyone who mentions our name for evil anywhere the blood will arise and answer them. Every evil writings against our destiny are blotted out by the Blood of Jesus. By the blood of Jesus, you have guaranteed peace with God in all areas of life.
Indeed through the Blood we have emerged as the all-round winners in all conflicts of life.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the power You have given me through the Blood of Jesus. I am grateful that the full price for my salvation was paid at Calvary thereby granting me the victory and dominion over every affliction in Jesus Name. .
