"When you consciously step out of Satan's fold and accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, He comes into your heart and gives you a new life, a brand new beginning. Your old nature passes away, and the new nature of Christ Jesus takes over. That is the truth." (David Oyedepo, Exploring the Riches of Redemption)
As the title of this book suggests, this book is about exploring the riches that Christ has purchased for you through His finished work of the cross. Some of these riches are: You belong to royalty, you have a different identity in Christ, you're alive again, you're a spirit being, you're redeemed to reign, you're a new creature, accepted in the beloved, you're unique, God is your Father, you're a child of God, you're maturing into sonship (daughtership), you have power, you're a citizen of heaven, you're an ambassador, abundance is your heritage, you have unusual affluence, you're master over sickness, you have surpassing intelligence, you have mental distinction, you have dominion, satan and all things are under your feet...
The author goes into detail into each of these riches mentioned above. He says, "I believe the mystery of identification is the strongest force in the world of the spirit. The moment you get connected and walk in this understanding, you become unbeatable in the battles of life."
The teaching I was attracted to the most was the teaching titled Heaven On Earth. In it, he says, "The Word of God has the power to connect you to your heavenly inheritance.
It is possible therefore, to live the heavenly life in this dark world. It is possible to enjoy heavenly provisions in this world of scarcity." The overall message that I was receiving as I read this book was: we, as people of God, are not to fear or live as those who do not know God. We have a different identification. Because we have accepted Jesus as Saviour and Lord, we enjoy all the riches of redemption. Our trust is in God, and not in the gods of this world. As we can see from the current situation in the world, all the gods of this world have fallen in a single day. This is a glorious time to be alive for the believer. The knowledge of the glory of the LORD will cover the earth. It is time fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and the finisher of the faith and as the old hymn goes,
This book will arm you to know your identity in Christ, so you can shine in the darkness.

"♫ Turn your eyes upon Jesus,He will never leave us or forsake us. He knows the end from the beginning. Those who put their trust in Him will never be ashamed.
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangly dim,
In the light of His glory and grace ♪"
This book will arm you to know your identity in Christ, so you can shine in the darkness.
