THE LORD’S PASSOVER

“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

When the fullness of time came for God’s people to come out of captivity, God instituted the Passover and He instructed them to eat the Passover meal in a hurry because they were moving out. The 430 years of bondage was going to be broken. “…and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment …and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you…” (Exodus 12:12-13 KJV).

Child of God, your case is different. If the blood of animals could protect the people of God in Egypt, much more, the precious blood of Jesus Christ, our true Passover Lamb will preserve you from all evil. When God is ready to do damage, the enemy has no answer. That is why He said, “vengeance is mine.”  When He tells you to leave vengeance to Him, it is because He knows how to do it well; you don’t know how to handle it. When He began to move in the land of Egypt, even the cattle realized that God was moving.

Today, I send a notice to the forces that have being servicing altars in order to stop you. The blood will fight them. Never again will you be defeated! Never again will you labour in vain. The blood of the Passover Lamb will overrule for you. As a result of the Passover, Israel found favor before the Egyptians (Exodus 12:36). Expect favor! The enemy can no longer hold you down. The blood of the Passover Lamb has been shed. 

Every effort you make will be fruitful. You shall be blessed wherever you go. God is not limited by distance or space! God is not limited by any condition or circumstance. He overrules all circumstances and protocols. He never fails! He never disappoints! He is ever faithful!
