Today is the Sunday before Easter, when Christians
remember Jesus’ Triumphant (Celebratory) entry into Jerusalem singing Hosanna.
“Hosanna” in the Hebrew language means “victory now!” Therefore,
victory is coming your way today.
When Jesus came into Jerusalem, the whole city was so moved that they were asking the question saying, “WHO IS THIS?" (Matt. 12:1-10). That was the question that people have been asking
over the centuries:
Jesus asked His disciples, saying, “Whom do men say that I the
Son of man am?” (Matt. 16:13).
And the disciples said to Jesus, “Some say that thou art John the
Baptist: some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets” (Matt.
16:14).
Then Jesus asked each one of His disciples, saying, “BUT WHOM
SAY YE THAT I AM? (Matt. 16:15)
Only Peter out of the 12 disciples knew Jesus Christ. Simon Peter answered and
said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matt.16:16).
How did Apostle Peter know the correct identity of Jesus Christ? He
knew Jesus Christ by the revelation given to him directly by God the
Father.
And Jesus answered and said unto Peter, “Blessed art thou,
Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not REVEALED it (who I am) unto
thee, but My Father which is in heaven” (Matt. 16:17).
i) The people asked the same question
(Jn. 12:32-34).
ii)
The men at the table in a dinner in
Simon’s house asked the same question (Lk.
7:47-49).
iii) The scribes and the
Pharisees asked the same question (Lk. 5:17-21)
iv)
His 12 disciples asked the same question (Lk. 8:22).
v)
Even kings like Herod asked the same question (Luke 7:7-9).
We must
realize that it is the will of God the Father for His children to know Jesus
Christ personally. Jesus said, “And
this is life eternal, that they might know thee (God the Father) the
only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” (Jn. 17:3).
That was why in a number of places in the Scriptures
Jesus took time to introduce Himself. He said, “I AM…:”
1. From above. In John 8:32 Jesus said unto them, “Ye
are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.”
In John 3:31 John the Baptist testified saying, “He
that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly,
and speaketh of the earth: He that cometh from heaven is above all.”
2. The Bread of Life! In John 6:35 Jesus
said, “I am the bread of life...” In John 6:51 Jesus said, “I am the l iving bread which came down
from heaven...”
3. The Light of the world! In John 8:12
Jesus said, “I am the light of the world...”
4. He! In John 8:23-24 Jesus said, “...I am He...”
5. The Door! In John 10:7-9 Jesus said,
“...I am the door...”
6. The Way, the Truth, and the Life! In
John 14:6 Jesus said, “I
am the way, the truth, and the life...”
7. The Good Shepherd! In John 10:14 Jesus
said, “I am the good shepherd...”
8. The Resurrection and the Life! In John
11:25-26 Jesus said unto her, “I
am the resurrection, and the life...”
9. The True Vine! John 15:1 says, “I am the true vine ...”
In John 15:5-7 Jesus said, “I am the vine, ye are the branches:
10. The Alpha and the Omega! In
Revelations 1:8 Jesus said, “I
am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, which is, and which
was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”
11. The Root and the Offspring of David! In
Revelations 22:16 Jesus said, “...I
am the root and the offspring of David ...”
12. The Bright and Morning Star! In
Revelations 22:16 Jesus said, “...I
am the bright and morning star.”

When you receive the revelation of the Person
of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, you can do the impossible.
Examples of people that had/received a
revelation of Jesus Christ abound in the Scriptures:
a) Abraham received the revelation
of the Person, Jesus Christ. That was why he against hope believed in hope.
That was why he was fully persuaded that God would do what He said He would do
(Rom. 4:17-24).
b) Job received a revelation of
Jesus Christ. That was why he refused to offend God even in the face of the
terrible afflictions that came upon him. He knew that many are the afflictions
of the righteous but God delivers him from them all (Ps. 34:19).
Job said, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him, for I know that my Redeemer
liveth” (Job 13:15).
c) The woman with the issue of
blood for 12 years received a revelation of the Person, Jesus Christ. That was
why she said, “If only I could touch
the helm of His garment, I will be made whole” (Mk. 5:24-34).
d) Apostle Peter had a revelation
of the Person of Jesus Christ. That was why he walked on water (Matt. 14:22-32).
e) Apostle Paul received a
personal revelation of Jesus Christ.
In Galatians 1:12 Paul said,
“For I neither received it of man,
neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.”
Ephesians 3:3-4 Paul said, “How that by revelation He made known
unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, 4 Whereby, when ye read,
ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ).”
f)
Apostle John also had a revelation of Jesus Christ.
Revelations 1:1 says, “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him, to shew unto
His servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified
it by His angel unto his servant John.”
Beloved, you are carrying all
the burdens you are carrying right now because you neither have a personal
revelation of who Jesus Christ is nor do you know or understand what He said
concerning:
a) Your burdens (Matt.
11:28-30; Ps. 55:22; 1 Pet. 5:7),
b) Your health (Ex. 15:26; Isa.
53:4-5; 1 Pet. 2:24; Jam. 5:14-16; 3 Jn. v. 2),
c) Overcoming power (1 Jn.
5:14-15; 1 Jn. 4:4; Rom 8:31; Lk. 10:19; Mk. 16:15-18), fear (2 Tim. 1:7; Jn.
14:27),
d) Success (Jer. 29:11; Josh.
1:8; Ps. 1:1-3), protection (Eccl. 10:8; Zech. 2:5; Col. 3:3; Isa. 54:17),
anxiety (Phil. 4:6-7; Jn. 14:1, 27),
e) Frustration (3 Jn. v 2; Ps.
25:27; Ps. 72:7; Gal. 3:13-14, 29). Don’t you know that Jesus said, “Prosperity is the reward of the righteous?”
(Prov. 13:21).
No matter what you are going through right
now, all you need is the revelation of the Person of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ. A revelation of Jesus Christ will bring your situation to an
immediate halt because Jesus is everything you want Him to be to you at any
point in time. Are you in need? He is your Provider. Are you sick? He is your
Healer. Are you lonely? He is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother
(Prov. 18:24). He is your Righteousness.
He is your wisdom. He is your sanctification. He is your Redeemer (1 Cor.
1:30). He is your Saviour (Acts 4:12), etc.
You are still sick because you have not
received the revelation of the fact that He is Jehovah Rapha. You are in need
because you have not received the revelation of the fact that He is EL-Shaddai.
He is Jehovah Jireh. You are afraid because you have not received a revelation
of the fact that He is your security – your shield and buckler (Col.
3:3; Isa. 54:17; Ps. 91:4; Ps. 23:4-6; Isa. 43:2).
Shield protects you in three directions. But buckler
protects you all round – north, south, east and west. A revelation of who the Lord Jesus Christ
is will put you permanently on the side of victory.
