Revelation 12:11  ‘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.”

DAILY READING –  – Revelation 15; Esther 6:14-8:17; Psalm 107:1-22

In the days of the Old Testament, several animal sacrifices were made by the Jews on the altars of the tabernacle in the wilderness and the temple at Jerusalem. They made these animal sacrifices as atonement, in obedience to the laws of God given to them through Moses. But with the destruction of the Jewish temple in AD 70, these animal sacrifices came to an end. And in God’s agenda, with the ultimate sacrifice of Christ at Calvary, there is today no more need for the sacrifice of animals.
However, throughout history,  there were other cultures who practiced blood sacrifices as a way of engaging the aid of evil forces. Often such sacrifices were made at their planting season, harvest season and war seasons. In 2011 British Broadcasting Corporation [BBC] featured a documentary that focused on some of these ancient cultures. One of these was the ancient civilizations of the Americas, who believed that the human sacrifices they performed were necessary for their daily success. In other ancient cultures in Europe, Asia, and Africa, archaeological evidence of animal and human sacrifices abounded. And even in modern times, there are people who still practice these blood sacrifices. Through such sacrifices, they seek the aid of demonic forces for success in their endeavors.

And sometimes, in the journey of life, when there is a clash of interests, we may  find ourselves thrust into spiritual battles with such people. At those times, our confrontations with them become a battle of altars. And while they draw strength from the altar of their blood sacrifice, we draw our own strength from the power in the blood of Jesus. And truly if we understand the ultimate power of the Blood of Christ, then we can be rest assured that in every such conflict the victory is ours. The blood of Jesus has the power to protect us from any incantation, divination, enchantment, spell, etc
Indeed in every confrontation with the powers of darkness, a child of God stands victorious. You belong to a higher kingdom that rules over every principality and power. You are under an everlasting covenant ratified by the precious blood of Christ. And the blood of Jesus is more powerful than any other blood. Jesus our great high priest with the power of an endless life offered the perfect sacrifice through the eternal Spirit. And on the cross when He, declared “It is finished,” it indicated that it is finished with every power of the enemy against us. Indeed it is finished with spells, sickness, barrenness, afflictions, addictions, poverty and every harassment of the enemy.
Through the blood of Jesus, we have been given the power and authority to rule and reign over every principality and power. It doesn’t matter the demonic or occultic gang-up against your destiny, by reason of the Blood of Jesus you have the victory.
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.”
When the Blood was invoked in Egypt it brought swift divine judgment upon Pharoah. And today, the speakings of the Blood will arise to judge whatever represents Pharaoh in your life. Whoever or whatever may be standing in opposition to the actualization of your glorious destiny will experience divine judgment. Indeed the Blood that speaks better things than the blood of Abel will continually speak in your favor in Jesus Name.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You that I have victory by the blood of Jesus, Indeed today by the power in the blood of Jesus I know that I am an overcomer and the winner in every battle of life in Jesus Name.
