Calvary Pointers Morning Showers 11 October 2023 Devotional by Reverend Ajisafe Opeyemi -Weapons Of Warfare (The Blood Of Jesus)
Weapons Of Warfare (The Blood Of Jesus)
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 - Revelation 12:11 KJV
There is wonder-working power in the blood of the Lamb. Blood flows through the Bible even as it flows through our veins. If you cut the Bible, it will bleed.
Blood is mentioned over three hundred times in the Old Testament and forty-three times in the New Testament.
In science, we were taught that our body is composed of five to seven percent blood. Blood has seven functions in the body: it receives our waste like a trash can; it transfers oxygen throughout the body; it transports nutrients; it releases hormones; it maintains fluid balance; it circulates heat, and it fights microorganisms.
God said, “For the life of the flesh is in the blood” (Leviticus 17:11). Even as physical blood in our body has many functions so does the blood of Jesus have power.
We can see that the blood of Jesus has power. Your body uses white blood cells to fight the bacteria and viruses that invade you and make you sick. The blood in your body is a weapon against all sorts of enemies.
And the same thing is said of the blood of Jesus. We overcome the devil through the blood. Just as our blood fights viruses and bacteria, the blood of Jesus overcomes demons, the devil, and spiritual darkness.
This was beautifully portrayed when the people of Israel were getting ready to exit Egypt. They applied the blood of a lamb on the doorposts of their houses, and that night the angel of death passed over their homes.
Through the blood of an innocent lamb, they experienced the Passover. That was the night their ultimate deliverance became a reality.
The nine plagues that brought tragic calamity on the Egyptians did not bring deliverance to the Jews, but this one act of shedding blood broke the grip of their enemy once and for all.
There is power in the blood. Believe in this. Declare the blood of Jesus over the entrance to your house, your family, your property, your neighborhood, your community, your place of employment, etc.
Through your confession apply the blood of Jesus over the doorposts of your heart, mind, and soul.
The cross brought the blood. The cross is much more than a piece of jewelry. The power behind the cross is limitless and boundless.
You were God’s idea. He loved you before the world began. Revelation 1:5 says “and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and washed us from our sins by His own blood…”
God loved us FIRST. Then He washed us. He does not love what is washed, but instead, He washes what He loves! That's YOU!
God gave His very best to purchase you and PROVE to you how valuable you are to Him. He gave you power and subdued all powers of the enemy against you.
The value of something is determined by the price in which someone would pay for it—and God paid the ultimate price FOR YOU! But I tell you, the blood of Jesus is priceless and powerful. It is a powerful weapon in the day of trouble.
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.
Exodus 12:13 KJV
