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...

God's Laws Versus God's Promise

A father who lives in the diaspora once had a son and for some reasons his son cannot come along with him. Nevertheless, he kept on investing and was lucrative in his business. This man got a guardian to keep his son in track while he was away and he wrote his will so that when he is away permanently his possession could be given to his child by the guardian on reaching a specified age written in his will. He did this so that the child could be rightly led and could have come of age not to mismanage the properties. Going through the books of Galatians, I had a deeper understanding of God's laws and God's promises. Firstly, we have sins, laws and promises. Literally, Sin is anything detestable to God, God's laws are the guidance from God given alongside the promise to reveal to people their sins (Gal 3:19). God's law was given until the fulfilment of the promise. God's promise is simply grace in the human form of Christ Jesus. Going back to my introductory story, the...

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...
