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)

The Blood and the Glory


"For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God." (Rom 3:23 ASV)

When God created man in His image and likeness (Gen. 1:26), man was also clothed with God's glory.



"When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him but little lower than God, And crownest him with glory and honor. Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:" (Psa 8:3-6 ASV)

Man is ranked just under the Godhead - that is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. God delegated autority and power to Man to have dominion over His creation. The first book of Genesis speaks of the creation of God on the earth. God crowned us with glory and honour. 
The glory of God refers to the manisfested presence of God or the anointing of God. God gave us His ability. However the day that Adam and Eve listened to the serpent and sinned, they fell from glory and honour.
Man sinned and fell short of the glory of God. However, God had a plan to redeem man. God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son (JESUS) to save and restore Man.
Man can rise once again to His former image by believing and receiving Jesus. For as many as receive Him, He gave POWER to become the Sons of God!
Man has been restored through the sacrifice of the Son Jesus Christ.
When Jesus shed His blood on the cross of Calvary, he dealt with sin nature and redeemed Man to his former state of glory and honour.
THEREFORE, THERE IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE BLOOD AND GLORY!!!
Man was crowned with glory. He fell from glory. Through Jesus Christ HE CAN RETURN TO GLORY!!!

"...but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, even the wisdom that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto our glory: which none of the rulers of this world hath known: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory: " (1Co 2:7-8 ASV)

The Father of Glory (Ephe. 1:17) sent His beloved Son, Jesus the Lord of Glory, to shed His blood and to restore man who was crown with glory to be restored to glory and the devil and his cohorts did not know it for had they known it, they wouldn't have crucified Jesus!

"Oh the blood of Jesus...There is power, wonder-working power in the blood of the Lamb."

The blood did not only save you and redeem you but the Blood restored you to your original state of creation. The blood gives you POWER TO DOMINATE and DESTROY the works of the devil.
