Blood Money: Understanding Covenant Wealth

By Arome E. Tokula

Many Christians are living in lack and not enough because they havent been properly taught the power of the sacrifice of Jesus as it concerns their wealthy inheritance in Christ Jesus.

BLOOD MONEY; Understanding Covenant Wealth is a revelation and divine understanding of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, the power that is available to us today and how every believer can take advantage of that sacrifice in establishing Gods covenant of wealth here on earth.

Pastor Arome E. Tokula teaches that there are three primary areas of the believers redemption; redemption from sin, redemption from sickness and redemption from poverty. Many have enjoyed salvation and experienced deliverance from sin, addictions, sicknesses and pains but are yet to even know that the same sacrifice has provided them freedom from financial bondage.

He raises a clarion call for believers to know how much MONEY and WEALTH are an intrinsic part of the finished works of Christ Jesus and how a consciousness of our BLOOD COVENANT with God through Jesus and the blessing upon the believer whose heart is circumcised can help them live in abundance even in this worlds system. He literally sets you on an inciting journey through the pages of this book to learn in simple terms profound truths. Some of the chapters include:

The Glory and The Blood

Three Kinds of Money

The Ultimate Sacrifice for Wealth

The Blessing

The Passover and The Takeover

Money in the Redemption

DEDICATION

T o my mentor, life coach and father in the faith, Rev. Arome E. Adah and his lovely wife, Dr. Nugwa. Thank you for teaching me well; I love and appreciate you both.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

I have always thought myself to be a teacher of God’s Word but not necessarily an author so I sincerely want to appreciate those who have encouraged me to fulfil God’s mandate upon my life. I particularly want to thank Pastors Joshua and Eneape Abam (Doxa Ministries, Abuja) for their contribution and encouragement in taking the first step of transcribing part of this book from the message I preached at Savannah Camp Meeting, 2009. May the Lord reward you.

I also want to thank all the Pastors and members of Savannah Grace Chapel, Abuja and Father’s Delight Ministry, Zaria for believing in me enough to open their lives to me to share these precious truths with them. I love you all!

To my wonderful church and family, Christ Family Centre at Abuja; Gboko; Makurdi; Kaduna; Warri and our other churches yet to be born: I love you all and it’s an honour to pastor you all! You make the job of being a pastor a desirable one!

To all my office staff and Pastors: Bem, Dooyum, Steve, Blessing, Kave, Richard and Chibunna, you are all brothers, sisters and friends.

I also want to acknowledge the members of my family: my wonderful siblings and my parents, Elder & Mrs. Tokula, for training me up in the way that I should go. Thanks for those morning devotions we had every day; though I slept through a couple of them, they instilled a hunger for God in me! This book is a product of those morning devotions.

Jumoke Falake and Mya Agu, you are God-sent destiny helpers. Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedules to help proofread this work.

Pastor Steve and Wumi Audu, thank you for giving me a voice to say what God wants me to say! Love you guys. Umaha, thanks for always believing!!!

Joy Akut, you introduced me to WestBow and it happened!

Finally, I want to appreciate the love of my life, my chief supporter, personal cheerleader, companion, wife, best friend and mother of our darling children (Psalm, Shuwa and Justin), Avese. Thank you for your love, trust, devotion and for challenging me to follow God no matter the cost. Together we are taking the gospel to the ends of the earth! I’ll choose you again.

FOREWORD

I once had a vision in church of an open Heaven and I saw huge angels descending in multitudes and the Lord said, There is a mighty supply.

There is a mighty supply to the body of Christ. A mighty supply of finance is on the loose for us says God.

Psalms 31:19 says, Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men.

The Bible says how great or how abundant or how plentiful or how mighty is God’s goodness stored up for us. Mighty supplies are stored up for us. But then you may be wondering, Who paid for all these supplies? This is where we see the importance of the blood sacrifice.

Jesus in His death, burial and resurrection has paid the price for abundant wealth for the body of Christ. So, we can say that this money or these mighty supplies are all paid for in the blood of Jesus. There is prosperity in the redemptive works of Jesus.

Isaiah 53:5

(5) But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

The chastisement or punishment needful for our peace, prosperity and wellbeing came on Jesus. If the penalty came on Jesus we don’t have to carry it anymore. Jesus’ blood paid for our prosperity and it’s now ours for the taking. It’s now mine by faith. My money has come.

Many Christians have missed it in the area of finance because they wrongly assume that it’s in their performance. They think that prosperity is in what they do. IT IS NOT! It’s not about what you do but what you believe. The blood of Jesus has come against poverty on our behalf and there is a mighty release of money for us. Glory! There is a mighty release of blood money for us. This is money that is not based on the works of your hands but rather on the sacrifice of Jesus.

God’s desire is for us to depend on Him completely, to depend on the sacrifice of Jesus and that is the lesson The Holy Spirit through Rev. Arome Tokula has brought forth in this book. I believe this is a must-have book for all Christians.

TESTIMONIALS

FOR BLOOD MONEY

Every believer has an advantage today because of the BLOOD OF THE LAMB! God is indignant against anything that brings discomfort to us (2 Kings 3:27 and Matthew 1:21). This book, Blood Money, tells us how to appropriate the sacrifice of JESUS to our benefit; so it’s a MUST-READ for everyone who wants to reign and live in the abundance that God has freely provided. I have known, partnered with and sat under Rev. Arome Emmanuel Tokula for many years and attest to his insight on the subject.

This book has changed my family and me; it has positioned us to enjoy supernatural wealth. So, I recommend BLOOD MONEY to you; as they say, the taste of the pudding is in the eating (reading). God bless you as you read and believe!

PASTOR TUNDE PHILLIPS (GROUP CAPTAIN)

CEO, JESUS JIREH RAPHA SUPPORT (JJRS) FOUNDATION

NIGERIA.

The death, burial and resurrection of Christ has brought humanity many benefits that cannot be ignored. Everything that our Lord Jesus shed His precious blood to make available to us is holy and sacred to God! Isaiah 53:11a says, He (Christ) shall see the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied.

It is heart-warming to know that the sacrifice of Jesus includes the benefit of deliverance from financial and material lack. Blood Money is a timely exposition of the believer’s right to financial and material prosperity as a result of Christ’s blessed sacrifice. The revelation contained therein will bring those that read it with an open and honest heart, face-to-face with the grace to be financially free forever! This book will no doubt be a treasure for generations of believers to come, until our Lord Jesus returns! God bless Rev. Arome Tokula.

SENIOR PASTOR, COVENANT WORD CHRISTIAN CENTRE INTERNATIONAL

JOS, NIGERIA.

I have read Blood Money from cover to cover and marked several portions of the book because of the potency of the messages contained therein. The book has valuable insights on believers’ right to RECEIVE riches and wealth already paid for by the blood of Christ rather than something to labour for. I highly recommend this book to all believers who want to enter their rest in the area of finances once and for all.

REV. TUNDE AYENI

SENIOR PASTOR, GRACEVILLE CHRISTIAN CENTRE

ABUJA, NIGERIA.

The book Blood Money is a deep revelation of our redemption in Christ and a revelation of the blood covenant that we have with God through the finished works of Christ. The author reveals from the scriptures that our redemption in Christ is complete and covers every area of our lives. It is a scriptural teaching on how to have more money effortlessly and the purpose of money. I have been privileged to seat under Rev. Tokula’s teaching on this subject several times and it’s always a great blessing.

The first time I got a copy of the book it was such a great blessing to me that I made it my daily devotional for over six months and my life has been transformed by the revelation of God’s Word in this book. I see this book becoming a classic and I highly recommend it to every believer. Enjoy days of heaven on earth as you read this book.

INTRODUCTION

W hat I want to share with you in this book might not exactly be new things, but I strongly believe in my heart that God is calling believers everywhere back to the consciousness of these things. My desire and prayer is that these truths should be renewed and restored in your heart.

A lot of us have read the Bible like it’s a book of western origin and this makes it very difficult for us to conceptualise the language and tone with which God spoke. Reading the Bible through the lens of the culture in which it was written, a Middle-Eastern culture, makes a whole lot of difference, as it brings
