A few years ago, while finalizing some property transactions with my broker, she posed a question that stopped me in my tracks: “What would you do if you were suddenly unable to work or earn a living due to one critical health issue or another?” The African blood in me almost stopped her right there and then to say God forbid and / or back to sender! I mean, it was triggering, at least to me, we don’t speak like that around here – hahaha!
As the primary breadwinner for several dependents, the weight of that question stirred a moment of deep anxiety. Sensing the impact, she moved seamlessly into offering a range of insurance packages. But something she said stood out: most life insurance policies only pay out upon the death of the policyholder. In other words, the policyholder never gets to benefit from what they spent years paying into. At best, it's designed for those left behind.
It was in that reflective moment that the Holy Spirit brought to my heart a far greater, eternal perspective: God offers a better plan, a Divine Life Assurance Policy. Unlike worldly systems, this one is available in the Kingdom of God for those who commit to service and obedience. It’s what I call The Divine Life Assurance Policy.
A Heavenly Policy with Unmatched Guarantees
Look at it this way, in the natural world, life assurance provides financial protection. In God’s Kingdom, divine assurance provides total life security, physically, spiritually, emotionally, and eternally. What a wholistic coverage. This spiritual policy is laid out powerfully in Exodus 23:25–26:
“And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
Here, God outlines five remarkable benefits that accrue to you and here, the beautiful thing about God's policy is that you can can enjoy the benefits yourself whilst alive as opposed to just paying out to your dependents when you are no longer here:
1. Provision Security
“He shall bless thy bread and thy water.” – This means, you won’t lack or live in insufficiency. Your daily needs are covered. We see also in Matthew 6:33: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God... and all these things shall be added unto you.” As a matter of fact, this coverage ensures that you’d never be stranded as insinuated by my broker in the story I shared earlier. The Word assures us in Psalm 34:10 – “The young lions do lack and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.”
2. Divine Health Coverage
“I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.” - God offers immunity, healing, and supernatural health. Psalm 91:10 is also very clear on this: “There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.”
3. Coverage from Miscarriages
“Nothing shall cast their young” – In this instance, the Divine Life Assurance Coverage ensures that you do not miscarry (in this context, this could mean a real foetus, your dream, aspiration or even your destiny). No wasted effort, rather, you’d have the grace to carry a baby to full term, complete your ministry and calling, start and complete projects and most importantly fulfil your destiny. Philippians 1:6 assures us thusly: “being confident of this very thing, that He who hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the Day of Jesus Christ.”
4. Reproductive and Spiritual Fruitfulness
“Nothing shall cast their young, nor be barren.” – The Divine Life Assurance Coverage also ensures that you are never barren in any area of your life (in this context, this could mean physical fruitfulness, career fruitfulness, relational fruitfulness, mental fruitfulness and what have you). No wasted effort, rather, you’d experience fruitfulness in all areas of life. Isaiah 54:1 corroborates this truth thusly: “More are the children of the desolate than of the married wife, saith the LORD.”
5. Longevity Guarantee
“The number of thy days I will fulfil.” – This means that your life won’t be cut short; you will fulfill your divine destiny and live to the fullness of your life here on earth. In Psalm 91:16, God further assures you: “With long life will I satisfy him...”
You'd see that the extent of the Divine Life Assurance package is unmatchable. I mean, as competitive as most insurance packages claim to be these days, non can offer guarantee on stable health, coverage from miscarriage, assurance of fruitfulness and most of all, assurance / guarantee on longevity. Only the Divine Life Assurance Policy can give you coverage for these inevitable life issues.
The Premium: Active Kingdom Service
Like every policy, this one also requires a premium, not of money, but of commitment and continuous kingdom service. As clearly seen in the introductory text of Exodus 23:25 “And ye shall serve the Lord your God”, the prerequisite to enjoy the Divine Life Assurance Policy is that you serve the Lord your God. The benefits of God’s Divine Life Assurance are not randomly distributed; they are reserved for those who have truly enlisted in kingdom service.
Many believers hope for divine rewards while remaining spiritually inactive, but this is a misunderstanding of how the Kingdom operates. You cannot enjoy benefits (salary, health benefits, or retirement plan) from an organization you don’t work for. The same principle applies in your walk with God. One thing I know from personal experience is that God keeps an account, and those who invest consistently in His kingdom are the ones who can draw from it in times of need. This divine accounting is echoed powerfully in Malachi 3:17–18:
“And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.”
God Himself draws a clear line between those who serve Him and those who do not. He calls His faithful ones His jewels, precious, protected, and personally valued. He promises divine exemption, saying He will spare them as a father spares a devoted son. This reveals the deeply personal nature of God’s Divine Life Assurance system.
Kingdom service is the premium that keeps the Divine Assurance Policy active. Without this daily engagement, the benefits remain theoretical. But for those who serve, God’s favor is not only guaranteed, it is distinguishing. Whilst the world offers its own reward system, glamorous but ultimately hollow, God’s policy offers something even more solid and eternal. If you want the full benefits of God’s divine life policy, you must fully align with Him. Half-hearted service yields no heavenly dividends.
Final Charge: Commit to the Policy, Reap the Rewards
God’s divine assurance plan is real, and it’s available to every believer who signs up through service, obedience, and devotion. The benefits are eternal and comprehensive. As seen in 2 Timothy 2:6-7: “The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits... and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.”
So, ask yourself today: Have you secured your divine life assurance policy? Are your premiums up to date through active service and faithful stewardship?
May your commitment be steadfast and may the rewards of kingdom service locate and distinguish you in Jesus’ name. Amen.

As we reflect on the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ this Easter, we are reminded: the Blood is not just a historical symbol, it is Heaven’s last card. God’s final and most potent move in the redemption story of mankind.
The Final Move
As a child, I remember playing card games with friends, each of us carefully guarding that one card we believed could turn the tide. There was always a dramatic moment when someone, confident of victory, slammed their final card on the table, their ultimate play, their unbeatable hand. In many ways, the blood of Jesus is God’s final card. When all else fails, when darkness seems to win, when hope feels lost God plays His most powerful move: the Blood of His Son. It’s not just a symbol or a doctrine. It is the declaration that the victory is already won.
Heaven’s Vengeance and Exemption
In Exodus 11:1, God speaks to Moses: “Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence…” We see from this scripture that the Blood was not just another plague, neither was it just another sign. This was divine vengeance, the judgment that would force Pharaoh's hand. When all else failed, frogs, lice, and darkness, God played His last card: the Blood.
In Exodus 12:13, God declared: “…When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you…” That night, while the Egyptians wept and mourned from the impact of loosing all their first born-offsprings, the children of God, those under the Blood rejoiced. The Blood marked the line between judgment and mercy, death and life. It still does today and we must take all diligence to learn how to apply the Blood.
What the Blood Does
The Blood of Jesus is not just sacred, it is strategic. It speaks. It avenges. It heals. It redeems. It justifies. It empowers.
Once and For All
Hebrews 9:12 tells us: “Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood He entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.” Jesus entered once for all through His own Blood. He didn’t just make a way; He became the way. Because of His sacrifice, we have access not just to forgiveness, but to fellowship with God Himself. The veil is torn. The door is open.
The Garden Before the Cross
Even before the Cross, the Blood began to speak. Luke 22:44 says: “…His sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.” In Gethsemane, drenched in sorrow, Jesus submitted to the will of the Father. The Blood began to flow there, not from wounds, but from obedience. It began to fight for our peace even before the first nail.
Action Steps- This Easter, Plead the Blood
God’s last card is still in play. It still avails. It still speaks. The Blood of Jesus is the final word over every matter. It was enough then. It is enough now.
Closing Prayer
Father, we thank You for the Blood of Jesus, Your final and flawless move in the redemption of mankind. We acknowledge its power, its voice, its eternal victory. Thank You that through the Blood we are healed, forgiven, justified, and made bold. Thank You that when all else fails, the Blood does not. Teach us to honor it, to trust in it, to walk boldly in the access it has granted. And this Easter, let the Blood speak over every dead thing in our lives let it declare resurrection, freedom, and victory.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

Obadiah 1:17 (NIV) – “But on Mount Zion will be deliverance; it will be holy, and Jacob will possess his inheritance.”
As children of God, we have a divine inheritance—blessings, breakthroughs, and spiritual authority that Christ has purchased for us. However, many believers live beneath their God-given privileges because they have yet to step fully into what the Lord has prepared for them. Obadiah 1:17 outlines a threefold process for stepping into our inheritance: Deliverance, Holiness, and Possession.
1. There Shall Be Deliverance
Before we can walk in our inheritance, we must first experience deliverance. Many of us have faced struggles—be it financial hardship, sin, health issues, family crises, barrenness, or immigration challenges—that have held us back from experiencing the fullness of God’s promises. But the Word of God assures us that “on Mount Zion will be deliverance.”
Deliverance is God’s way of setting His people free from the chains of the enemy. In Luke 4:18, Jesus declared:
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free.”
If you are battling with sin, addiction, or cycles of failure, the power of Jesus is available to break every chain. Call upon the Lord and receive your deliverance today:
“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” (John 8:36)
Practical Example:
A young woman who struggled with repeated job rejections prayed earnestly for God’s intervention. One day, she fasted and claimed Obadiah 1:17 in faith. Within weeks, she received a job offer that exceeded her expectations. Her deliverance had come!
Prayer: In the name of Jesus, I receive deliverance from everything that has held me captive. Every chain of oppression, financial struggle, sin, or delay in my life is broken today!
2. There Shall Be Holiness
Deliverance is only the beginning. To retain the blessings of God, we must walk in holiness. The Bible makes it clear that without holiness, no one will see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14).
In Romans 1:4, Jesus was declared the Son of God in power “according to the Spirit of holiness.” This same Spirit of holiness empowers us to live righteously and honor God in our daily lives.
Holiness is not about legalism or striving in our own strength—it is about surrendering to the Holy Spirit and allowing Him to transform us from within. The more we walk in holiness, the more we align ourselves with God’s will, making us vessels for His glory.
Practical Example:
A businessman who had struggled for years with dishonest dealings repented and chose to honor God in his transactions. Though it seemed difficult at first, God opened doors for him in ways he never imagined. By walking in holiness, he positioned himself to receive his full inheritance.
Prayer: Lord, I receive the Spirit of holiness. Give me the grace to live a life that pleases You. Let my life reflect Your righteousness and purity.
3. Possess Your Inheritance
Once you have been delivered and walk in holiness, it is time to possess your inheritance. Many believers have unclaimed blessings because they have not taken steps of faith to receive what God has already provided.
Joshua 1:3 says:
“I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses.”
God has already prepared your inheritance, but you must rise and take possession of it. Whether it is a breakthrough in your career, family, health, or ministry, it is time to step forward boldly and claim what is rightfully yours in Christ.
Practical Example:
A couple struggling with infertility stood on the promises of God and declared their inheritance of fruitfulness. Despite medical reports, they continued to pray and trust in God’s Word. In due time, God blessed them with a child. They had possessed their possession!
Declaration: This week, I walk into my inheritance! God will make my life meaningful, and no one will say “no” to me again!
Final Encouragement
Your time to step into your inheritance has come. Deliverance has been granted, holiness has been imparted, and now it is time to take possession of what God has for you. Do not let fear, doubt, or the enemy’s lies stop you. Stand on the promises of Obadiah 1:17 and walk boldly into your destiny.
“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.” (Isaiah 60:1)
Go forth and possess your possessions!
