Passover meal

In the Old Testament, the Passover was the night of deliverance. Passover in HBW 'Pesach' means protection. The Lord will stand and protect. Many redemptive names of God can be placed here.
The passover is founded upon Blood Covenant!
In Exodus 12, God gave specific instructions and informed the Children of Israel to keep the passover as a memorial and as a feast to the Lord throughout your generations (Exo.12:14).

What manifested the power of deliverance? 
The Blood of the lamb! 

We need to learn some vital issues and it is my duty to rightly teach you the Word. If the blood of an animal manifested the delivering power of the Lord's hand, how much more will the blood of Jesus perform Salvation, deliverance, healing, favors, blessings, protection for us! 

Let's quickly learn two things:
1. The power of the blood manifested God's hand for deliverance - Exo.13:3 
2. The purpose of the blood for deliverance was to worship and serve the Lord - Exo.12:31 

Many speaks of the blood for deliverance but this is not the end, rather it is the beginning. It is also important to point out that they were to apply the blood by faith on 3 parts of the door. 
In the New Testament, Jesus dealt with the sin nature through the blood covenant - Matt. 26: 26-30.

There are 3 things that give access to the devil: 
1. Sin 
2. Transgression 
3. Iniquity 

There are also 3 things that causes us to sin: 
1. Lust of the flesh 
2. Lust of the eyes 
3. Pride of life 

The blood would provide protection on judgment when applied by faith - Exo.12: 12-13.

Here are some more benefits/blessings that the blood put into motion: 
  • The blood protects against the destroyer. John 10:10 tells us the devil is a destroyer, but he can have no access once we apply the blood by faith. 
  • The blood strengthens. Psalms 105 records this miraculous night and described the children of Israel who were hardworking slaves, yet not one was feeble! (Ps.105:36-37). What a difference between what the Apostle Paul described the church of Corinthians in regards to the Lord's supper. The Lord's supper was celebrated on the night of the passover (Matt. 26:18). As we do this in memorial just as was instructed by the children of Israel, we will receive blessings of the blood covenant. However, Paul described many in the church that takes the Lord's supper unworthily as weak and sickly and many died premature deaths (1 Corinth. 11: 30). Today many believers are like the church at Corinth rather than being like the children of Israel. The devil has successfully deceived believers about Easter and rather than celebrating the Lord Jesus and the power of His blood, many has been blinded by Constantine shrewdness. Constantine changed the name Passover to Easter (although in French, it is still the same name) which is named after the Babylonian goddess Ishtra, a pagan goddess of fertility. Hence the cute bunny and the dyed eggs. That's why many are weak, because we have forgotten the blood covenant and blindly ran after the world way! 
  • The blood gives favor - Exo 12: 36 and provides whatever we need. 
Every Christian feast and celebration has been perverted by the devil. I strongly recommend that you and your family sit together at home and spend precious time celebrating King Jesus together by sharing a meal then sing some worship songs and share the Lord's supper. 
Apply the blood by faith upon your house and see the power of God manifest in your family.   

I sincerely love you   

"And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." 
(Rev 12:10-11)

Special Prayer & Fasting for instruction and direction...







"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 
2 Chronicles 7:14

 
We are ready to embark on 21 days of prayer and fasting from the 1st to the 21st May 2011.
Fasting helps to develop a deeper relationship with God and enhance spiritual growth.
Through fasting and prayer, the Holy Spirit can transform your life. As we join together, He can transform our lives, families and cities. We desire to be humble people so that we can discern the voice of God and listen to His instruction.
Fasting also develops spiritual strength. Fasting is the most powerful spiritual discipline of all the Christian disciplines.
God has sent us in Port Louis as I sense an apostolic anointing being launched in the ministry. I believe it is time to establish more churches in different areas of Mauritius, Rodrigues and in the Mascarene Islands.
To successfully do this, we need instructions from above, directions and spiritual strength and boldness.
As we pray together, I believe we will grow spiritually and numerically. Corporate prayer and fasting manifest a corporate anointing to destroy yokes and remove burdens.

Which type of fast:

A 21 days of partial fast is described in the book of Daniel. There was a three-week period in which he only abstained from "delicacies," meat, and wine (Daniel 10:3). So, we will abstain from meat, sweets, ice cream and delicacies as well as fizzy drinks.
I strongly advice you to drink plenty of liquids.

Spiritual Preparation:


In preparation for this special time with God, I strongly urge you to examine your heart, and detect any unconfessed sin. Scripture records that God always requires His people to repent of their sins before He will hear their prayers. King David said:
Come and hear, all of you who reverence the Lord, and I will tell you what he did for me: For I cried to him for help, with praises ready on my tongue. He would not have listened if I had not confessed my sins. But he listened! He heard my prayer! He paid attention to it!
Blessed be God who didn't turn away when I was praying, and didn't refuse me his kindness and love. (Psalm 66:16-20)
In your prayers, confess not only obvious sins, but less obvious ones as well. The sins of omission as well as the sins of commission experiences.

Our foundational scripture:


"Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly [is] great, but the labourers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest."
Luke 10:2

Confession of faith for a blessed family

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." Proverbs 18:21

The tongue is a very powerful instrument that can either manifest blessings from heaven or bring curses including failures into your life.
Your tongue is the best tool to use in order to bring about changes and transformations in your life and circumstances.
Boldly, sincerely and faithfully make the following confessions daily and see the promises of God manifest in your life. You will never be the same again through faith in the Word of God!

  • In the name of Jesus, the favor of God causes my family to increase more and more (Psalm 115:14). In the name of Jesus, I declare that I have the wisdom, ability and strength to raise my children in the fear and admonition of the Lord (Acts 1:8, AMP).
  • Through the leadership of the Holy Spirit, I will teach and impress the Word of God diligently on their minds and hearts (Deuteronomy 6:7, AMP).

  • I honor God by honoring my family. I am the head of my home, and I lead it by example with godliness and temperance (Ephesians 5:23; 1 Peter 1:5-6).
  • I choose to love my wife as Christ loves the church by giving her first place and consideration in all that I do. I avoid anger, bitterness and strife at all costs (Ephesians 5:25; Colossians 3:19).
  • I give my wife the honor, respect, goodwill and kindness that are due her (1 Corinthians 7:3).

  • I love, honor and respect my husband and speak well of him to others. I speak kindly to my husband for his edification (Proverbs 31:26).
  • My husband is faithful to me. He has no need to go elsewhere, because I provide everything he needs and desires (Proverbs 5:18-19).

Confession of life

Confession of life


The bible is the Word of God. I believe and have faith in God and His Word.
I am what it says I am,
I have what it says I have,
I can do what it says I can do.

My life is changing for the better.
I am strong...healthy...blessed and wealthy.
I am an overcomer!
Jesus loves me and I love Jesus.

The devil is under my feet. He is a defeated foe.
I overcome him by the blood of the lamb...by the word of my testimony.
I am committed to God. I am a faithful son and servant of God.

Amen.

BLESSED is he who considers the weak and the poor

Psalm 41:1-4
 1. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
 2. The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
 3. The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
 4. I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

The bible declares that God will bless us when we consider the poor. When we show up with an act of kindness and are compassionate to help and assist the poor, then the Lord God empowers you to prosper. The power of the Lord manifest for those who extends mercy to others.
Lets look at the blessings that these verses declare.
  • The Lord God will manifest his power to deliver you in time of trouble.
For example: Deliver you from family trouble or debts.
  • The Lord will preserve you.
This means: The Lord will look after you and no harm will happen to you.
  • The Lord will keep you alive.
And so: no accidents or death by sickness nor premature deaths.
  • He shall be blessed upon the earth.
This means: You don't have to wait to get to heaven to enjoy a good successful life. You can live the abundant life right where you are right now!
  • Thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
And: You will not live according to people's expectation. Those silly gossips and spirit of jealousy will do you no harm!
  • The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing...
This is what the Amplified Version says:  (3) The Lord will sustain, refresh, and strengthen him on his bed of languishing; all his bed You [O Lord] will turn, change, and transform in his illness.
So: no more sickness, pains and sorrows! Healing is yours!
  • I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
And: When we extend mercy to others, God extends mercy to us.
You are forgiven...all sin, trangressions and iniquities.

Now meditate and activate!
Help us help others.
