Title: There’s Power In The Blood
Memorize: Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. Exodus 12:13 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: Exodus 12:1-13 (Nkjv)
[1] Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
[2] “This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.
[3] Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying: ‘On the tenth of this month every man shall take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household.
[4] And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the persons; according to each man’s need you shall make your count for the lamb.
[5] Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats.
[6] Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight.
[7] And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it.
[8] Then they shall eat the flesh on that night; roasted in fire, with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
[9] Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire—its head with its legs and its entrails.
[10] You shall let none of it remain until morning, and what remains of it until morning you shall burn with fire.
[11] And thus you shall eat it: with a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. So you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord’s Passover.
[12] ‘For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord.
[13] Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
Message:
The Blood of Jesus is one of the most powerful weapons that God has given to believers, and it should never be underestimated. When you fail to recognise the power in the Blood of Jesus, you unknowingly give the enemy room to operate in your life. In today’s Bible reading, we see how God instructed the Israelites to mark their doorposts with the blood of a lamb so that the angel of death would pass over their homes. That blood was a sign of divine protection.
Today, Jesus is our perfect Lamb who is pure and spotless, and His blood carries even greater power. When you plead the Blood of Jesus over your life, family, academics, finances, and everything that concerns you, you place yourself under God’s covering. No plague or plan of the enemy can touch whatever or whoever is covered by the Blood of Jesus. Just as the lsraelites were preserved, you too will be preserved when you operate in the power of the Blood.
My dear child, now that you understand the power in the Blood of Jesus, make it a daily habit to plead it over every area of your life. That Blood speaks, protects, and delivers. I pray that the Blood of Jesus will work Wonders in every area of your life, in Jesus’ name.
Confession:
I plead the Blood of Jesus over every area of my life. It will work for me mightily, in Jesus’ name. Amen!

Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Tin my Savior am happy and blessed
Watching and waiting, looking above
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love
