Exodus
12:12-13
12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and
will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and
against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord.
13 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.

MESSAGE
The Blood of Jesus Christ is an expensive weapon
made available to every believer in Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ paid such a
high price to secure this weapon for us; a price so high that the Bible refers
to this weapon as precious. 1 Peter 1:19 says:
“But
with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and
without spot:”
As you understand the worth of this weapon, you
will appreciate the power it can unleash on the enemy. Little wonder the
kingdom of darkness cannot stand the Blood of Jesus. To eliminate all doubt, a
loud voice expressly declared from Heaven the victory of the saints over Satan
himself through the Blood of Jesus, in Revelation 12:11:
“And
they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and they loved not their lives unto
the death.”
The Blood of Jesus is not only there to
cleanse you from sin but also to protect and defend you. However, if you are
not a Christian, although the Blood is available, it is not for your use. If
you belong to the devil as described in John 8:44, you cannot use the Blood to
overcome him. The Blood must first translate you to the kingdom of light by
cleansing and washing away your sins before it can become a weapon in your
arsenal.
A particular couple wondered how their money
kept disappearing from their house. The man suspected it was his wife who was
stealing his money. However, his wife also began to experience the loss of her
money as well. At some point, she began to wonder the kind of husband she had,
who would give her housekeeping money and later sneak in to steal it. When they
could not bear it anymore, they both accused each other of stealing the other’s
money. It was then they discovered that something strange was happening to
them, and they came to me. Realising that it was the devil at work on their
finances, I told them to always say “I cover this money with the Blood of
Jesus” before keeping it in any part of their house. It worked! From that
moment, there was no incident of strange disappearance of their money. Cover
the baby in your womb with the Blood of Jesus. Cover all your children at home
and abroad with the Blood of Jesus. Cover your business and customers with the
Blood of Jesus. Remember to always plead the Blood of Jesus. It is a weapon the
devil cannot resist.
Key Point
If you are in right standing with God, anything you cover with the
Blood of Jesus is truly safe.
