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!!!

Workers in the vineyard

 When I was younger, I remembered visiting a marble company, There I saw different stages of how the marble is being processed and finally done. I remembered that the several stages in the production was allocated to different people to ensure a smooth and successful completion of the marble. While I was reading through the books of Mathew 20, the phrase workers in the vineyards caught my attention and this reminded me of my introductory story. Here, we are made to see an illustration of individuals working in a vineyard to achieve a common goal and how they are  paid the same wages at the end of the day. What does this mean to us as believers? just as the bible records it in 1 Cor 12: 1-27, we are all different parts of the same body working towards the same goal of populating the kingdom of God, we should not overestimate ourselves. In Mathew 20, the bible records it that those that have been working in the vineyard since dawn and those who just joined an hour to the end of ...

THE SECOND DEATH

I never knew a man could die twice. I mean someone giving up the ghost twice, This sounds very funny, unrealistic and at the same time it sounds strange. Everybody is aware of the situation when a man is proclaimed dead. First and foremost, such individual cannot breathe again, move his or her body in short the person is lifeless. When this tragic event occurs to an individual, such is to be taken away from his/her loved ones and buried. I am extremely sure this is the understanding most of us have when we hear that a person is dead. Talking of the second death, does it now means that such person who has earlier died will repeat the same process? A candid answer to this can be found in the books of revelations 20:14. We were made to understand what the second death indicates. Scripturally, it means the lake of fire. Here, we were told that anyone whose name will not be found in the book of Life such individual will experience the second death. How is it to for a person to have a portio...

UNDER THE SUN!

  A whole lot goes down under the sun,when I say under the sun i am referring to the whole earth as a whole. Imagine a  child is born into the world, coming out of the mother's womb empty and naked, after the child's birth he is weaned and goes through several stages before he finally starts his education, from primary to secondary and to higher institution he could even go to the length of taking professional exams and pursuing his career to the peak. After this his parents tells him to bring home a wife, he gets married start having kids and making his kids follow the same process as he has been brought up,when he grows old he dies and maybe wills his property to his children and he without no doubt knows what happens again after his demise as he will be buried empty not even with the certificates and qualifications he has attained. What a life!       This above example is typical of a successful human, several generation comes and goes. we all have fore fath...
