THE MYSTERY OF THE PASSOVER

                                     

 Biblically, a mystery is a secret that is engraved on the pages of the scriptures and revealed through the divine spirit of God. The Bible made us see how the children of God were delivered from the Egyptian's bondage. The Book of Exodus chapter 12 revealed how the Israelites were instructed by Abba through Moses on steps to take to get their freedom from the slave master, In verse 21 they were told to specifically kill a lamb serving as the Passover according to each family and its blood used on the lintel of each Israelite doorpost so that when the angel of destruction is destroying the firstborns of the Egyptians they will be left out. 

A simple question to ask is what is the significance of this to today's Christians? The mystery of the Passover hinges on the fact that there has to be bloodshed for the efficacy of the Passover (Hebrews 9;18). This verifies what we had in the Old Testament that the Israelites had to kill a lamb or calf for sanctification and redemption and this ushers us into the fact that even before the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, the blood of animals has always been used for sanctification and redemption each time a need for this arises. 

Moreover, with the crucifixion of the Son of God, the option of prior blood of animals as sanctification, purification, and redemption ceased automatically and we were ushered into a new dispensation whereby the blood was shed once and for all on the cross of Calvary and it is super potent than the previous blood of animals in the old testament. The coming of our Lord Jesus Christ put an end to the use of the blood of animals as purification and we have gained access to the throne of grace due to His death and resurrection. 

In conclusion, what I am trying to say is that brethren, the mystery of the Passover indicates that as the blood of lamb was used in the Old Testament before the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, there exists a greater blood shed once for the remission of sins, purification, sanctification, redemption and more. Can we imbibe the attitude of calling upon the blood of Jesus in every of our life activities and challenges? This blood I am talking about can heal us of our infirmities, it can be a protection to us in times of trials and tribulations, and It can set us free from life bondages and attacks from the enemies. Let us imbibe the culture of bleeding the blood of Christ on ourselves and our families by our daily declarations and also partaking in the communion service in our individual places of worship I know as we do that our lives will never remain the same.


PRAYER POINT: Lord Jesus, the ability to understand the efficacy and the mystery of the Passover, give unto me so I can enjoy what you already possessed for me. AMEN!!!

FUEL IT UP!!!

 When I was in primary school I was part of the girls guide. we usually go for weekend camping in any agreed location and I remember that whenever we were at camp, we always have the camp fire at night and everyone will be dancing around it. Whenever the fire goes down, we will put leaves and some other petrochemical substances to enable it burn well. Going through the books of Mathew 25, the story of the 10 virgins ignited a spark in me and I realized instantly that to keep anything burning, we need substances to fuel it up just as we did at the camp whenever the camp fire goes down. Also, most of us have generators in our various homes and I can imagine how much we would feel helpless when we cannot get fuel to power our generators especially when we have a very interesting show coming up or a football match and the electricity distribution company decided to keep the light off. Brethren, reading through Mathew 25: 1-13, we would have a better understanding of what it means to fu...

The Price of Destiny

                              In General terms, the price attached to a product or service is the value of such product or service. This explains why priority is placed on some products or services than the other. The fluctuation in exchange rate of different countries to another gives a deeper understanding of the value attached to different country's currencies. The economists say the price of a commodity confers value on such commodity. A person with a thousand dollar undoubtedly has more purchasing power than another with a thousand naira.  Speaking of what the price of destiny means, we can say it is the value of destiny, the sacrifice needed to pay before attaining a glorious destiny.When I mean sacrifice this is not some sort of ritual but what we have to let go or put in place to attain our glorious destinies because as children of God, we all are entitled to glorious destinies as this is His will fo...

WORSHIP THE CREATOR NOT THE CREATION

                                      The Bible records in the books of Genesis the account of the creation. In the very first verse of the first chapter, it says "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth". This is an automatic revelation that God is the Creator of all creations. We can simply say he is the brain behind every creation and invention in the entire universe. This is also supported by the Book of John chapter 1 which revealed God created everything in the world by His word and this same word was God Himself. What a marvel! Also, the book reveals that it was this same word that gave life to everything that was created, and this life was the light of men which means before His predominance there was darkness all over.  One thing that baffles me is that God made man the head of His creation, why do men after knowing this truth decide to worship the creations mo...
