Jesus Is Worthy!

Rev.5:⁷ He stepped forward and took the scroll from the right hand of the one sitting on the throne. ⁸ And when he took the scroll, the four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb… ⁹And they sang… “You are worthy to take the scroll…

Sacrifice releases the power that enthrones and makes ordinary men worthy of extra-ordinary privileges. Every God given destiny cannot be attained without sacrifice. God depends on sacrifice to establish men’s destinies. It is what you give to God that secures your place. You have to pay the price in prayer – pray! Pay the price in fasting – fast! Pay the price in commitment. You have to pay the price in studying.  2 Tim.2:¹⁵ [KJV] “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”. Take note; there is a price tag on everything.

God could have simply decreed that man be restored, but God decided to pay the price. He decided to do things the right way. Jesus could have taken back victory on a platter of gold, but Jesus paid the price and went to the cross. Please read Revelations 5:1-8. Why do you think the strong angel could not take the scroll and open it? How come nobody was found in heaven or on earth that was able to open the scroll? Destinies are released only to men that are worthy. In the spirit realm, you do not take what you are not worthy of. If you try it, you will be penalized.

Growing up was an adventure for me. I remember times when there were things to be shared and in the Yoruba culture [like many others], the oldest gets the first pick. It was agonizing for me because I did not think the people that got to pick before me were worthy. But guess what? Jesus is worthy! And we are actually worshiping Him with grateful hearts because He deserves it.

In Revelations 5, Jesus is first introduced as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. It says the Lion of the Tribe of Judah who won the victory. But when John looked, he saw a Lamb that was slain. The depiction of the Lamb that was slain is a pointer to the sacrifice of Jesus. Jesus could be addressed as a Lion because He paid the price as a Lamb. Your destiny as a lion is only accessible through your sacrifice as a lamb. I see you stepping up and taking hold of your destiny in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

Prayer [song]: Worthy (2x), King of kings, Lord of lords, You are Worthy.  Worthy (2x), King of kings, Lord of lords, I worship You. Amen!
