The Blood of the Lamb
Memory Verse: - Ex 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
Bible Reading: - Ex 12: 1 – 51
Message
The deliverance of Israelites from Egyptian’s bondage was a great one wrought by a great God by His mighty hand exactly four hundred and thirty years after their servitude. It was a great deliverance because they were preserved on the night of destruction of the first born of Egyptians by the token of the blood of a spotless lamb on their door posts and the lintel of their houses. The destroyer pass over them and the plague was not upon them because of the blood of the lamb. They were preserved, protected and set free from bondage by reason of the blood of the lamb.
The greatest miracle of salvation, deliverance from sins and satanic bondage is done by the blood of the Lamb of God which is Jesus Christ our Pascal lamb. He is pure, spotless and without blemish; he was sinless, yet crucified to take our place, he shed the blood to set us free from satanic bondage and this is made possible by faith in his sacrificial work on the cross for us.
Israelites believed the word of God through Moses, took the lamb, killed it and put the blood on the lintel and their door posts as commanded by the Lord; they as well remained indoor throughout the night of the destruction.
In like manner, you must believe that Jesus Christ died for you and by faith come under his blood that was shed for you for your redemption, deliverance and preservation. If you trust and obey all blessings attached to his sacrificial work shall be your portion.
I grew up in an Orthodox Church environment where I was serving God with all sincerity and to the best of my knowledge; but there were also serious activities of the dark powers in the church and at home. Then out of concern for safety, one of my relations took me to a witch doctor to divine for me what I must do to be preserved. The witch doctor was surprised to see me covered by the blood and by his own interpretation said there is danger, this man is covered by the blood and that I must beware of accident and what have you.
It was later when I gave my life to Christ that I realized that the blood covering me was the blood of Jesus because while I was yet without strength, Christ died for me and I was in that church then serving God with all sincerity of heart and in all faithfulness till God who is rich in mercy saved me. It was nothing but the mercy of God that preserved me from principalities and powers of the land. Come under the blood today and you will be preserved from plagues of destruction here and here after.
Confession of the Day
I will abide under the blood of the lamb for my protection, blessings and preservation.
Prayer Points
Lord, I give myself to you anew, cleanse me from all my sins and cover me by the blood you shed for me.

STERLING LEADERSHIP

D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved ...

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they...

PARALYZED

April 15 PARALYZED Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. — HEBREWS 2:14 . . . That He might paralyse him that held the dominion of death, That is the Adversary. — HEBREWS 2:14 (Rotherham) Jesus put to naught the hosts of darkness! He paralyzed their deathdealing power! And when Jesus met John the Revelator on the Isle of Patmos, Jesus said, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Rev. 1:18). Keys represent authority. Jesus conquered Satan and stripped him of his authority. Jesus was the Master of all hell! But Jesus did not conquer Satan for Himself. He conquered him for us. It was as though you and I personally had met Satan and had conquered him, stripped him of his authority, and stood as master over him. Confession: Jesus is my Head. Jesus i...
