Exodus 12:13 ‘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’
DAILY READING – Acts 7:23-8:1; Deuteronomy 31-32; Job 19
In July 2014, Dr. Ada Igonoh, a young medical doctor was working at First Consultants Medical Centre in Lagos, when Patrick Sawyer, the Liberia-American, who introduced Ebola Virus Disease to Nigeria was admitted. During the course of treating him, she came in contact with him. And when he eventually died she was the doctor that confirmed him dead. However, few days afterwards, she found out that she had contracted the virus. Along with her, the Lead Consultant Physician and some other members of their medical team, had also contracted the deadly virus.
As their symptoms began to develop, the government immediately quarantined everyone affected at an isolation center. For Dr Ada it became a battle for her life. However, though being at the isolation center felt as if she was placed on death row, as a Christian she understood her covenant rights and believed she would not die. She engaged the power in the blood of Jesus by regularly taking the communion. Also every morning, she read Psalm 91 and then continued with constantly studying The Word of God, praying, and listening to messages on faith and healing. Though while at the isolation center, some others in the ward began to die of the virus, she tenaciously believed the Blood of Jesus would speak for her. At this time Ebola was killing people enmasse in other countries and she had contracted the deadliest strain of the virus which was the Zaire strain. Medically her life hung in the balance. However, the Blood indeed did begin to speak for her. After a few days, her severe symptoms of ebola stopped and after 14 days of being quarantined, miraculously she survived. She was tested and declared healed and then allowed to return back home to her family. Miraculously also none of the family members she earlier had contact with contracted the virus.
Exodus 12:13 ‘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’
Indeed because of the mark of the Blood of Jesus upon our lives, our case is different. By covenant what afflicts others cannot afflict you. Just like the Israelites dwelling in Goshen were separated from the afflictions of Egypt, we have been separated from the plagues and afflictions in the world. The bible says there is no condemnation for you now that you are in Christ Jesus. Christ has paid the price for every affliction, He became a curse for us, that we might experience a blessed life. Therefore affliction cannot arise a second time. Whatever affliction Christ paid for at Calvary has no right to ever afflict you again.
As a child of God, your body is the temple of The Holy Ghost. And because The Holy Ghost carries fire, your body is a temple of fire. You are charged and electrified and any evil attempting to touch you gets electrocuted. The blood of Jesus is hot with the Holy Ghost fire. It is a fire that burns every chaff. So you cannot be carrying His blood and be carrying infirmity at the same time. Just as chaff cannot survive inside fire, diseases cannot survive inside you. Therefore whatever cannot afflict the blood line of Jesus cannot have access to you. Therefore every ill fortune, every lack of progress, every poverty, every plague trying to afflict you they are all swallowed up today by the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 12:11 says “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death”.
Indeed by the Blood we are overcomers in every conflict of life. By the blood we will always have the victory in Jesus Name.
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for victory by the blood of Jesus. Indeed by the blood I am separated from every evil affliction and everything which my Heavenly Father has not planted in my life has been permanently uprooted in Jesus Name.
